The Ridley Falcn RS is a very fast race bike, there can be no question.
BikeRadarThe all-new Ridley Falcn combines the best of both worlds: an aerodynamic bike that is as light as possible.
BikerumorIt's fast and engaging to ride, and seems to do everything very well but no one thing jumped out and smacked me in the face.
Cycling NewsThe Falcn RS is a great race bike. The snappy and agile handling and decently low weight almost defy the reassuringly solid build feel of a bike that seemingly maintains speed quite efficiently.
Escape CollectiveThe result is a bike that is the fastest on average across all routes and profiles.

The Ridley Falcn RS sits in the gap between the Belgian brand’s aero Noah Fast and super-light Helium SLX models.
Light weight
Stiffness and ease of acceleration

Category benchmark tyre clearance
Cheapest option is £6
Currently limited adjustability

The Falcn RS was developed for the World Tour. A bike that can take on the Ronde van Vlaanderen to Paris-Roubaix, and a Grand Tour stage.

Move over Noah, there’s a new fast Ridley in town
Sharp but stable handling
Speed
Lightness and stiffness in abundance

Sep 2023 · Tom Wieckowski
Ridley mixes speed with stable, predictable handling to produce a strong all round contender
Stable, confidence-inspiring handling
Carries speed really well on flat and rolling terrain
Range of custom paint options
No power meter included
No narrower handlebar sizes for 100mm stem lengths and above
Sep 2023 · Ronan Mc Laughlin
Ridley’s version of the do-it-all all-rounder bike balancing aerodynamic efficiency and overall weight.
An inspiring race bike
Performance-focused geometry
Ticks the boxes without going over the top in any area
Option to spec your handlebar size. Does UDH fall into “Good stuff?” Looks great!
Oh the price
Should have a power meter at this price
Still with the press-fit bottom brackets
And truly fully internal cable routing.
Sep 2023 · Calvin Zajac
Aerodynamic optimisation and state-of-the-art lightweight construction? The new Ridley Falcn RS aims to combine the best of both worlds while remaining a fully fledged race bike.
Balanced and stable road bike
Sophisticated aero concept with clever in-house components
Customisable paintwork
Not agile enough for more dynamic racers
Sep 2023 · Stu Kerton
A cracking all-round road bike that is both fast and light – a power meter would be nice for this money, though
Frameset gives an involving ride
Good tyre clearance
Light & aero wheels boost performance
No power meter, unlike similarly priced competition

The Ridley Falcn RS road bike does what it says on the tin, but with an added dollop of character and comfort thanks to 34 mm tire clearance.
