Ribble’s most versatile do-it-all dropbar bike

Bikerumor

The new frame design also provides a very comfortable ride (obviously the large volume tyres contribute to this).

Cycling Weekly

With its looks, superb spec for long rides and versatility, it’s no wonder there’s a queue for Ribble’s titanium mile muncher.

Cyclist

Versatility is the thing I keep coming back to with the CGR and that's really the heart of this machine.

Ribble CGR 725 SRAM Apex 1x 650b 2020 review

Jun 2020

Ribble's CGR 725 SRAM Apex 1x 650b is a hugely versatile bike that offers incredible value to boot. The combination of steel frame and plump but fast-rolling 47mm tyres deliver a comfortable ride on dirt while still being plenty quick on road, with sorted handling that's a happy medium between stability and steering agility; it's quite possibly all the drop bar bike you need for gravel, road or commuting.
