Title
The Fenix is a thoroughbred racer in an endurance disguise. Ridley took all the best of our Fenix, Helium SL and Noah SL, and put it into the Fenix. The stiff and aerodynamic headtube, combined with the strong bottom bracket and the light and narrow seatstays do not only make it look sexy, they make it fast as well. Ridley could only just get some of the Lotto Soudal riders to give their bikes back after they were done testing the Fenix
This Ridley Fenix uses the same frame made from the same carbon as the top end models. It's finished in Shinny Red with Shimano Ultegra (FSA Chainset) groupset, 4ZA bar, stem and seatpost and Prime Carbon wheels.
You may find plenty of talk regarding different geometry of road bikes with some suited to racing and others suited to endurance or sportive. In general there is one key difference and that is that the race bike will have a lower front end give more aerodynamic position where as the endurance bike will be higher offering a more comfortable position on the bike. Many manufactures have now taken their designs even further by producing frames not only based geometry to suits the different styles but also changing the make up of the frames to suit. For example the Scott Addict is a road race bike. This has a race geometry but also the frame is designed to be stiffer, lighter and extremely responsive. On the other side you have the Scott Solace which has an endurance geometry. This has also been designed to be light and responsive but it's also been designed so areas of the frame flex offering more comfort to the rider over long distances.
The key when deciding which bike to choose is to first think about what you want from the bike. If comfort is paramount then choose an endurance bike. If speed is top of the list then choose a race bike.
