In 2020 the Kanzo Fast was added to the line-up.” At the same time the X-Trail was renamed Kanzo Speed. The current Kanzo Adventure was added to the Ridley gravel fleet in 2019. “ After the release of the X-Trail, Ridley rapidly developed their gravel bikes, because they know that not every cyclist has the same interpretation of gravel riding.
