A very exciting ride and Ribble’s usual great value. Hard to fault it you’re looking for a racy sportive-type bike and are prepared to buy online. Buy if you want a firm-riding, high-quality, lightweight carbon frame and the ability to choose your own kit
High-quality lightweight carbon frame that’s stiff and responsive, and still fantastic value
Geometry might be too racy for some and the price rise has taken it over £1,000
