Ryden Bikes 

Where tradition meets technology

Ryden Bikes was founded by Darren Ryden, a part-time frame builder creating high-performance bicycles that balance a blend of tradition and technology, all fabricated one by one from a workshop in Berkshire, UK. Ryden Bikes USA is now also present in California, and we are now able to support customers globally.

Born from that passion for biking and the desire to achieve the best cycling experience, Ryden Bikes has also designed a number of tools to fill existing gaps in the market.

Measurement tool

In our search to make bike setup and fit simpler, we developed a measurement tool that combines a lightweight measuring device, with the sophisticated capabilities of the latest smartphones to calculate all of the important cycle fit measurements. 

This single tool locates the saddle centre, measures Bottom Bracket (BB) to saddle centre distance, BB to handlebar centre, and Hands Position (Saddle to Hoods). The smartphone is integrated in the tool and Provides the angle measurements necessary to calculate the important X/Y dimensions used by the majority of bike-fit professionals. This enables the average home mechanic to replicate a bike setup in the same way a professional would, for a fraction of the cost. 

The Ryden Bikes App turns those measurements into a bike profile you can reuse on any bike, any time. Store as many profiles as you need, and get step-by-step guidance through every measurement. It's available on iOS and Android in the App/Play stores.

The app also includes Speed Lab, our aerodynamics analysis feature. Ride the same route twice, make a change to your bike setup or your position and Speed Lab tells you whether it made you faster. Just like a wind tunnel, but more useful as it measures in real world riding conditions. 

Bike Stand

We have also designed a very sturdy, lightweight bike stand that holds a bike on the ground horizontal on the ground. Perfect for measuring a bike with the tool, travelling, bike packing and e-bikes.
