One of the most important Ridley new for 2012 will be the new Noah.

The new structure retains the distinctively aerodynamic shapes of the previous research but the wind tunnel will lead to a further increase of these characteristics. The shapes of the main triangle are similar, but changes the rolling of carbon, to obtain greater rigidity and weight reduction. All the new range, designed in a wind tunnel, will be integrated into the brake body and the fork has been designed to offer the least wind resistance possible. Same solution is adopted for the rear brake assembly. Unlike solutions seen so far, however, the brakes are conventional and therefore absolutely compatible with the current production on the market. What changes is their position in the frame and the fact that they are wrapped in an aerodynamic structure. Other features of the frame saw confirmed the integrated seat post, the set of differential steering and the size of the over-sized down tube and bottom bracket. Even this new Noah 2012 will be officially presented at Eurobike 2011.
