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 & Müller 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.
