Some people might think you cant get comfort and performance in the same bike. But when it comes to the Ruby Elite, those people are to put it simply just plain wrong.
The frame is one of the lightest weve ever built, thanks to the brilliant FACT 10r carbon fibre which also benefits from unmatched stiffness levels. Our engineers devised a geometry thats even more efficient and fast than our previous model, the SL4. Dont worry though, SL4 fans, despite those tweaks to the geo and courtesy of a little engineering wizardry, weve held onto the same position, feel and fit youve come to expect from the SL4 Womens Endurance Geometry.
And speaking of wizardry, one of the best tricks weve come up with this time is that suspension-looking thing youll have noticed up front.
Thats what we call the Future Shock, a piston in the head tube that gives the Ruby 20mm of travel, allowing you to float smoothly and efficiently over rough terrain. Its a tech weve developed in partnership with McLaren Applied Technologies, harnessing their motorsport expertise for some impressive performance gains in vertical compliance.
Without going too far into the mechanics of it all, we discovered that by looking for that vertical compliance instead of fork splay we can add more smoothness and speed as well as comfort in one go.
What this boils down to is that of all the bikes on the market weve tested with our Rolling Efficiency Model, this new Ruby beats them all hands down.
Its built up with components for undeniable performance as well as reliability, with Shimano 105 11-speed shifting, rock solid RS505 hydraulic disc brakes and a womens specific saddle all rolling on strong DT 470 wheels.
Note - this bike is an ex demo and is a 51cm frame.
