The 29er Ridley Blast is a great option if you're looking for a bike that can you can ride into some off-road terrain, a fun and versatile bike to commute or basically a bike that does not limit your riding adventures.
Its durable and lightweight aluminum frame, paired with SR Suntour's 100mm travel XCR suspension fork is capable of taking on small drops and rough trails. The XCR fork comes with a lockout feature which allows you switch off the compression damping, making it almost rigid. This provides better riding efficiency if you are riding on smoother surfaces like pavements and roads. Switch it back on via a lockout switch lever on the handlebar and you are ready to slay the trails again!
Subjective to an individual's capabilities, the Shimano Deore 2x10 drivetrain is rather capable in giving you sufficient gears to bring you up some climbs, while the Tektro Hydraulic brakes is similarly capable and confidence-inspiring to bring you down some descents.
Kitted with 29" wheels makes it easier at rolling up and over any logs, roots and rocks that you'll encounter on the trail. Most riders feel more confident with larger wheels. In addition to that, 29" wheels provide better traction and they’re actually more efficient for longer rides than smaller wheels because they require less effort to keep their momentum going.
The Ridley Blast is available in sizes S, M and L. Do drop by the Entro Showroom or get this from the Webstore today!
