Ridgeback bicycles are produced by Madison, Shimano’s UK importer. It’s therefore usually a safe bet that you will get a more Shimano-rich spec when you opt for a Ridgeback. That’s significant because Shimano have become the dominant bicycle component manufacturer for
a good reason. Shimano’s R & D dominance matched with their manufacturing muscle means that their gears, shifters, chainsets, cassettes, hubs and so on tend to work better than any cheaper or similarly-priced alternatives. Put it simply, a more Shimanorich spec almost always makes for a more reliable bike. Madison also import tyres from Continental. This famous German manufacturer have more than 100 years experience perfecting the grippiest rubber. If you’re looking for the best components on a well-shod bike, consider the Ridgeback Comet.
