Ribble HT 725 Pro hardtail review

Sep 2021 · Guy Kesteven

Ribble’s steel hardtail looks fantastic and seems to tick all the boxes but how does it ride when things get tasty?

Highs
  • Super smooth ride

  • Lively spring for 725

  • Loads of color and trim options

  • Mostly solid aggro spec

  • Internal cable routing and ample tire space

  • Big ground clearance for pedaling

Lows
  • Short reach and tall bottom bracketreduce confidence

  • Twisty front end means vague tracking

  • 27.5in front tire slides more than a 29in would

  • High price for primarily direct sell brand

  • ‘Hidden’ SX cassette on ‘Pro’ build

Ribble HT 725 Sport Build review

Apr 2021

The Ribble HT 725 Sport is a great 150mm steel hardtail for those on a budget. It's progressive, good looking and built for gravity-fed riding – it ticks most boxes for hardtail lovers, though it's a shame there's no 29er version alongside these 650b frames. Ribble HT Ti SRAM GX Eagle hardtail review Five things that weren't cool - until enduro happened The ultimate guide to frame materials: what's best for bikes? Just as with Ribble's HT Ti we reviewed in 2019, the HT 725 is a lovely-looking hardtail. This one is built from steel, though, and comes at much lower price.

Ribble HT Ti GX Eagle review

Feb 2020 · Tom Marvin

Aggro hardtail that’s ideal for slipping and sliding in the woods, but swap those tyres ASAP

Highs
  • Comfortable for a hardtail

  • Up-to-date frame shape

  • Quality fork

Lows
  • Hard-compound Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres are poor performers

  • Slightly more powerful brakes would be a bonus
