Ridgeback's Rapide range of bikes is the brand's highly successful staple range of versatile all-rounders. These bikes are good value but high quality British designed bikes either lightly equipped with rack and mudguards, or in naked, more sporty trim.

We like them for their smart understated styling and their more consistent use of high quality Shimano parts than you will find on other brands.

Ridgeback Momentum Men's 2012

The Ridgeback Momentum is the only model with suspension in this range. It will suit those looking for more on and off road comfort, but are still looking for the benefits of a reasonably upright riding position. The front suspension has a 'lockout' function which means you can turn it off - handy for climbing hills out of the saddle as you don't want suspension to dissipate all the energy that ought to be directed into forward motion. So comfy when you need it, sporty when you don't.  It also comes with seatpost suspension as an added comfort extra. Otherwise, light fast and comfy - like all the Rapides.
