Ridley soft-launched the new edition of its flagship cyclocross frame, the X-Night, at the cyclocross world championships in Louisville, Kentucky. At Press Camp in Salt Lake City, Ridley showed off the production models of the X-Night as well its other cyclocross offerings. The X-Night SRAM Red 22 HRD bike will be offered in a limited run of 50 units in the United States and will cost $5,700. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

The X-Night uses very clean internal cable routing, which uses an internal cable sheath to make maintenance easier while saving weight compared to full cable housings. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

One of the big differences between the old X-Night and the new is the adoption of thinner seat stays, as well as a narrower, 27.2mm seatpost, all in an effort to improve vertical compliance. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

The X-Night will also be offered in an Ultegra mechanical disc option, which is a bit less expensive at $4,700. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

The Ultegra model comes in a black-and-white paint scheme. Both options sport a a good amount of world-championship stripes. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

Ridley’s entry-level bike, the X-Ride, uses the exact same build as the X-Fire 105, but on an aluminum frame. Even the X-Fire’s carbon fork is used on the X-Ride, which costs $2,300. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com

Ridley also showed off its very limited Fenix Team Edition bike, which is nearly identical to the Lotto Belisol riders’ bikes. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com
Ridley's
Aside from the clincher wheels, and that some Lotto Belisol riders will select a Campagnolo EPS drivetrain, the Fenix Team Edition is nearly identical to what the team riders are on. At $5,300, the Fenix Team Edition is on the affordable end of what WorldTour riders are riding. Photo: Logan VonBokel | VeloNews.com
