Hello. I just ordered a Ridley Kanzo C 2022 from XXL. I have been looking for days at the geometry charts but I am now confused as I thought Kanzo C is the same as Kanzo Adventure. I think I might have ordered the wrong size, in case I should have been looking at Kanzo C geometry. I ordered a Large.

Was looking at Adventure geometry the whole time as that's pretty much all I could find and they looked the same.

By the way, I did ask them at XXL about it today and they couldn't help me.

The R and S that I need is about 385, 585. The link of the bike I ordered: https://www.xxl.se/ridley-kanzo-c-disc- ... 94_1_style

I was going to put up pics of the geometry but I don't why I couldn't. I'll link instead:

I read this article and they just mention Kanzo Speed and Adventure. I don't see any reviews or mention at all for a Kanzo C, and the pic of the bike I ordered looks exactly like the Adventure with all the mounting points.

Just found another site. Even more confused now as the geometry is different here from both that I posted above. Head angle 71.5 on this Kanzo C and 71 on geogeeks. Also head tube length 165 vs 158. This is on M frames.

I got the bike and measured it. For anyone who is interested, it's the Ridley Kanzo Adventure geometry. Apparently, The Kanzo C which is on geometrygeeks doesn't even exist. Which is very confusing.

I also found out later that the frame was a 696 Carbonda. At first I was a bit disappointed because I thought I could have had the same frame cheaper. But then after I realised how popular the frame was, now I think it's a positive. The Kanzo Adventure is barely mentioned in any reviews while the 696, there's tons of info on.

With shipping and paint, the 696 would have been 750 euros and with the build I got for the money, a 696 in total would not have been any cheaper.

It's a really comfortable frame, really happy with it.
