Ignite GTX APEX1 RIGID ISX04As

Combining the technical advantages of a mountain bike with the aerodynamics of a drop bar, the Ignite GTX is the only right race machine for the most challenging terrain. 

This ‘monster gravel bike’ has pure mountain bike geometry, with a flatter steering angle for added stability. Our product developers added flex-stays for surplus comfort. Ridley complements this 100% mountain bike geometry with room for coarse-profile tyres (29 x 2.3).

To this we added the venturemax handlebar. This is a handlebar from Ritchey with a lot of flare (24°) and a short drop. The combination of an aerodynamic position on this handlebar and the stability in the wide drops ensures optimal stability. Moreover, it gives more hand placement options and from the drops you can both accelerate powerfully and lower your centre of gravity.

You can look at this monster gravel bike from two perspectives: it boosts the capabilities of a gravel bike or makes a mountain bike universally suitable by adding a drop bar.
