Gravel is the new kid on the block and is rapidly increasing in popularity. Is there a better combination than “exploring” and “cycling”? We don't believe. Ridley makes a bike that makes this an excellent mix. An accident? In our opinion not. With a gravel bike you can tackle any terrain at your own pace. But why the name “Kanzo”?
Kanzo, or canzo, is a term that dates back to the times of troubadours - singers and poets in the Middle Ages. These were people who traveled a lot and had all sorts of adventures and then turned them into stories about knights and even love stories. After returning to their village, they told the residents about their adventures. There were three genres. The most common was “Kanzo/Canzo”. The troubadours moved entire communities and people hung on their every word.
Just like the troubadours, we want to encourage our Ridley riders to get out and ride their bikes. To discover new places or to rediscover supposedly familiar places.
