Fondriest Ardenne takes its name from an iconic land for cycling—home to legendary classics like La Flèche Wallonne, where Maurizio Fondriest claimed victory in 1993, and now the ultimate playground for the modern gravel rider. Fast, bold, and razor-sharp, the Ardenne is built to push beyond the tarmac, conquering everything from technical singletrack to endless dirt roads, from steep climbs to all-day endurance adventures.
Crafted from a blend of premium carbon fibers—T800, T700, T1000, and M40J—the frame delivers the perfect harmony of lightweight performance, stiffness, and long-ride comfort. A flattened seat tube minimizes road buzz, while progressive, race-inspired geometry ensures precision handling. With generous clearance for tires up to 700x45c, versatility meets speed without compromise.
Every detail serves the rider chasing performance and freedom: fully integrated cable routing, a smart down-tube storage hatch for tools, and compatibility with the latest drivetrains thanks to a UDH road hanger.
Offered in two exclusive colorways, five sizes, and multiple builds with aluminum or carbon wheelsets, the Ardenne strikes the ultimate balance between racing spirit and adventure soul.
