What groupset does the Falcn Rival eTap use?

It uses SRAM Rival eTap AXS, a 12-speed wireless electronic road group. Shifting is set up and adjusted through the SRAM AXS app.

How wide are the tires on this bike?

It ships with 1.34-inch tires, about 34 mm, which is wide for a road race bike. That width adds comfort and grip on rough pavement.

Do I need to charge the battery?

Yes. Rival eTap AXS runs on removable SRAM batteries, one per derailleur. Each lasts roughly a few weeks of regular riding and charges in about an hour.

Is the Falcn a race bike or an endurance bike?

It is a race bike. The geometry is aggressive and the frame is stiff, so it suits fast group rides and racing more than relaxed all-day comfort.

Is the Ridley Falcn Rival eTap worth it?

It is a fair value for a carbon frame with wireless electronic shifting and a carbon wheelset. Comparable bikes from major brands often cost more with the same group.

What colors does the Falcn come in?

It is listed in a UD Carbon/Aqualand/Silver colorway, with black and white finishes. Check the specific build before ordering if color matters to you.

What is included with the bike?

The bike comes with the carbon frame, SRAM Rival eTap AXS groupset and a carbon wheelset. RideWrap frame protection is an add-on option, not included by default.

About the Ridley Falcn Rival Etap 2025 Road Bike

The Ridley Falcn is a carbon road bike built around SRAM's Rival eTap AXS wireless electronic groupset. It is a race-oriented all-rounder with aero tube shapes and clearance for wider tires than a pure race frame. It comes with a carbon wheelset and is sold in a UD Carbon/Aqualand/Silver colorway. Rival eTap AXS is SRAM's heaviest AXS road group, so the complete bike weighs more than builds with Force or Red, but the wireless shifting and race-ready handling are the main draw.
