Summary
The Ridley Kanzo is a versatile and capable gravel bike, praised for its smooth ride, comfortable geometry, and excellent off-road performance. It offers a wide range of build options and mounting points, making it ideal for long-distance adventures. However, some reviewers noted issues with sizing and a firm ride quality.
Smooth ride with excellent off-road capabilities
Comfortable, well-balanced riding position
Versatile with lots of mounting options
Wide range of build and spec choices
Sizing can be less straightforward than other brands
Firm ride quality may not suit everyone
Some components like the budget KMC chain underperform
Its sorted geometry and well-mannered handling made it a great bike for pretty much any terrain I like to ride on a drop bar bike.
Bike PerfectThe Kanzo A tackled numerous surfaces well, with the geometry providing a comfortable riding position for long-distance commuting and very good control when tackling tougher surfaces.
BikeRadarThe Ridley Kanzo family stands for gravel performance like none other in the gravel segment.

Ridley announces a more affordable Kanzo Adventure A, with an aluminum frame and clearance for 700c x 47mm tires and plethora mounts

With Ridley’s cyclocross heritage, it's no surprise they can make a fast off-road drop bar bike, but with its wide tires and MTB-inspired geometry, there's more to this bike than you'd think
A smooth ride with impeccable off-road manners
Lots of mounting options
A comfortable, well-balanced riding position
A near endless amount of spec and build options means plenty of choice
Classified gearing gives a great mix of cadence-friendly gears but with a usable wide range
Sizing isn't as straightforward as other brands
The budget KMC chain works poorly with the rest of the drivetrain
Not the cheapest in this spec
Not available in the US

In theory, the weight of big aero features cancels out any of their gains, but the 2023 Ridley Kanzo Fast proves that theory doesn’t always hold true in practice.
Value for money
Shimano GRX Di2 is the best groupset in the test field
Aero concept consistently implemented
Attention to detail and high-quality workmanship
Tire inserts for added peace of mind
Tan wall tires don’t match with the paint job
No front derailleur option for 2x drivetrains
No chainstay protector

It's a little CX-y, but perhaps not in the best ways.
Feature-packed aluminium frame, common component fitments, feels like a road bike with big tyres, Shimano shifting and braking bits, obviously robust and ready for use through harsh winters.
Weighs more than a bag of soil, unforgiving ride quality, not tubeless-ready, fit is likely too aggressive for many, not great value.

Aero gravel bike with a unique drivetrain
Road-bike fast
Clever drivetrain
Stable handling
Road rims are narrow for big-volume tyres
