Ridley Elykx C Carbon hardtail with a Shimano motor
Until now Ridley have primarily kept to lightweight race bikes, so it’s exciting to see that the Belgian team have launched their first E-MTB with the Elykx C. A 29er carbon hardtail with a Shimano Steps E8000 motor, the Elykx C is reputed to weigh just 17 kg, which is real bait for those looking for more performance on gravel tracks, fire roads and mellow terrain. There’s 120 mm of travel for a sufficient dose of comfort and the top-of-the-range model features electronic XT Di2 shifting. Ridley have consciously opted for 29er wheels so that the bike will maintain speed above 25 km/h.
