Ridgeback Panorama Road BIcycle, 2011 The Ridgeback Panorama is the top bike in the World range & elder sibling to the Voyage. At its heart is a frame made from butted Reynolds 725 tubing, light yet strong enough to pull off fully-laden touring with ease & style, & coupled with a triple butted cromoly fork. This bike is blessed with some high end parts cherry-picked from Shimano XT, Deore & Sora. It represents an upgrade of most of the components fitted to the Voyage, ! Like the Voyage, the Panorama has been designed from the gound up for the purpose of carrying large loads efficiently for long distances. The frame & the wheels are designed to cope with all the load permutations associated with 2 large rear panniers with a tent & sleeping bag between, 2 small front panniers, a bar bag & even 3 bottle cages. The Shimano XT, Deore & Sora mix delivers as low a gear as you could want, so geography, or topography, should present no barrier to your route choice. The Panorama delivers low weight frame & forks, 27 speeds with a low bottom gear, Sora Dual Control STI shift levers, light & strong wheels & a front rack. Details of the Panorama spec stand up impressively against the spec from any other mass-produced tourer brand & many bespoke brands: in fact we would go as far as to say that it blows most of them into the weeds! & the British Racing Blue is quite stunning!
