Ridley Bikes designs and markets bicycles with a focus on high performance and aerodynamics. The company is based in Paal, Flanders, Belgium, and traces its origins to 1990 when founder Jochim Aerts established NV Race productions before launching the Ridley brand in 1997. Over the years, Ridley has driven innovation in bicycle design, notably introducing the tapered headtube on the 2001 Damocles and pursuing aerodynamic advancements through its FAST technologies. Operating in the cycling retail sector, Ridley serves both professional cyclists and amateur riders with its products. Ridley engages in professional competition through the Ridley Racing Team and maintains partnerships and activity within the cycling world. In late 2025, Ridley International introduced the Ridley Triton Fast, reflecting ongoing development of performance-focused bicycles.
