Stein Silver — Reynolds 520 Steel, Low Step-Through Frame
Everything that makes the Ridgeback Voyage such a capable everyday bike — the hydraulic disc brakes, the dynamo lighting, the Shimano Cues 10-speed gearing, the child seat-compatible rack — is here in the Voyage Open Frame. The difference is in the step-through design, which makes mounting and dismounting significantly easier whatever you're wearing and wherever you're going.
Open frame designs have a practical logic to them that goes beyond any single type of rider. If you're commuting in work clothes, or cycling after an injury, or simply find a traditional diamond frame awkward to swing a leg over while wearing a loaded backpack — the Voyage Open Frame removes that friction entirely. It's a small thing that quickly becomes a very good reason to ride more often.
Underneath the distinctive frame shape, the specification is identical to the Voyage. The Reynolds 520 chromoly steel frame brings the same ride quality — smooth, slightly compliant, genuinely comfortable across a full day of mixed urban and leisure riding. Shimano Cues 2x10-speed gearing provides the same wide, well-spaced gear range. Shimano MT-200 hydraulic disc brakes bring the same confident, low-effort stopping power. And the Busch & M?ller dynamo lighting system means the Voyage Open Frame is just as ready for dark winter commutes as any bike in the range.
The AtranVelo Delta AVS+ rear rack (27kg limit) is fully compatible with the Urban Iki range of child seats — a detail that makes the Voyage Open Frame a natural choice for families looking for one bike that handles the school run in the morning and a longer weekend ride in the afternoon. Vittoria Randonneur 700x40c puncture-resistant tyres and full-length mudguards mean neither the weather nor the roads need to be in good condition for the ride to go well.
From the UK’s first MTB in 1983, through the Roxy, the introduction of the Urban series in 1998, the Genesis Day 03 flat bar road bike in 2001, the Dual Track 29er and the 25th anniversary R25, Ridgeback Bikes have been helping people get out and about for 40 years now.

For the modern Ridgeback range, E-Bikes are absolutely the present and the future. Cycling isn’t always about fun or fitness, sometimes (or even most of the time) it’s an incredibly powerful tool for just getting around without using a car. For that type of urban mobility, E-Bikes are the perfect solution which is why the Ridgeback range contains multiple different models at different price points so that you have a choice no matter where you are or where you need to get to.
But that’s not to say that Ridgeback has ignored the non-E-Bike, not at all. The range still has classic, powered bikes from £400 all the way up to £1,199.99, making sure there is a choice for every rider, no matter their budget. The other fundamental is to make bikes that complement lifestyle, not hinder it. That means every Ridgeback uses quality parts to make sure that they keep going for longer and wont let you down when you need them most.

The other fundamental part of Ridgeback bikes is the kids bikes. It starts with the Scoot and Scoot XL balance bikes that are designed to teach kids the fundamentals of bike riding without throwing pedalling into the mix and goes all the way up to the almost-adult-sized Dimension 26, Ridgeback’s kids bikes are proper bikes, not toys. That means they’re made to withstand the beating that kids can inflict and come back ready for more, they wont need a trip to the bike shop every 5mins because that’s doesn’t benefit anyone.
