Summary
The Ridley Grifn is a versatile all-road bike that excels in blending road and gravel capabilities, offering a lightweight carbon frame, modern geometry, and the ability to fit large tires up to 42mm. It's praised for its comfortable ride quality, snappy handling, and efficient power transfer, making it suitable for a wide range of surfaces. However, its performance on rough terrain and off-road capabilities are sometimes questioned, positioning it more as a fast, comfortable option for mixed-surface riding rather than a dedicated gravel or road bike.
Versatile all-road category bike
Lightweight carbon frame
Modern geometry with longer Reach and lower Stack options
Capable of fitting large tires up to 42mm
Multiple accessory mounts for versatility
Limited off-road capabilities
Performance on rough terrain can be jarring
Not as stiff or aggressive as dedicated race bikes
Some builds may feel sluggish in acceleration
The all-road Grifn is a bike that reshapes the idea of an endurance road bike into one that can simply ride any road.
BikerumorIt’s a well-rounded bike, but it leaves me wondering two things: firstly, if the “all road” label should be laid to rest, and secondly, if there can be such a thing as a true N+1 killer.
Cycling TipsThe Grifn RS is a consummate all-rounder on the road.
CyclistThe Ridley Grifn 2023 is the new all-road bike from the Belgians that wants to be neither a classic road bike nor a pure gravel bike – but both!

The Ridley Grifn RS aims to unite road and gravel. We put it to the test to find out if it’s versatile and capable enough to deliver on its promise.
Highly versatile
Snappy and lively acceleration
Excellent ergonomics
Aggressive look
Fully customisable via Ridley’s configurator, including options for a sleek green Lamborghini look
Slightly heavy for its racy character
Limited compliance
Headset adjustment can be tricky

The current fashion for all-road bikes dovetails nicely with the UK’s descent into crumbling tarmac hell, as our highways now
Wide spec choice
42mm tyre clearance
Aero
Fast and smooth on tarmac
Competent on light gravel
One-piece bar/stem complicates bike fit

Road bike fast on tarmac
Impresses hugely on smoother gravel
Lightweight
Skinny tyres and stiffness come unstuck on rougher terrain

N+1 is no longer required – the Grifn RS is an awesome bike on the road and very capable away from it
Clearance allows decent size gravel tyres
Geometry works on all kinds of terrain
Non-standard mudguard mounting positions

Mudguard mounts
Classified Powershift hub
Integrated cockpit
Tight clearance of rear tyre against the seat tube

Ridley's new Grifn falls into the do-it-all camp, but is it really an N+1 killer?
