It has a very pleasant geometry that combines comfort and stability. Hydro tubing Ridley’s aluminium bikes go through an extremely careful, high-tech process before rolling out of there Belgian assembly line as complete bikes. Ridley use 6061-T6 aluminium alloy commonly used in the aircraft industry as it scores very well on stiffness, metal fatigue, weight and welding precision. All tubes are triple-butted where central wall thickness is 3x thinner than at the ends. This minimizes weight and maximizes stiffness. The tubes are also hydroformed a process in which water under pressure gives the tubes the desired shape, without potential damage that mechanical shaping can cause. Lastly, a “double-pass flat weld” in crucial places for extra strength and clean finish an absolute must for modern aluminium bikes.
