Summary
The Ribble HT enduro bike family offers a mix of smooth ride quality and modern geometry, with standout features like internal cable routing and ample tire clearance. However, it faces criticism for handling quirks and component choices that don't always match its aggressive intent. The bikes are praised for their aesthetic appeal and value in certain builds, but some models suffer from flex and less-than-ideal tire performance.
Super smooth ride
Modern geometry with slack head angle and long wheelbase
Internal cable routing and ample tire space
Good value for the complete package in certain builds
Compliant steel frame provides respite from harshness
Short reach and tall bottom bracket reduce confidence
Twisty front end means vague tracking
Flex is noticeable leaning hard into corners
Hard-compound Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres are poor performers
Fork is underwhelming with flexy 32mm stanchions
Ribble’s HT 725 Pro looks both pretty and promising on paper and it’s a super smooth, chunk-swallowing cruiser as you’d hope from a steel frame.
Bike PerfectThe hard ADDIX Speedgrip-compound Nobby Nic specced here is a poor performer in virtually all situations, lacking grip and compromising confidence.
BikeRadarTitanium frames remain a benchmark for aesthetics
MBRIt's progressive, good looking and built for gravity-fed riding – it ticks most boxes for hardtail lovers

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

The Ribble HT 725 has a mainframe that's UK-designed Reynolds heat-treated chromoly steel hardtail featuring slack and long geometry.
Great vibration damping
BB is too high
Feb 2020 · Tom Marvin
Aggro hardtail that’s ideal for slipping and sliding in the woods, but swap those tyres ASAP
Comfortable for a hardtail
Up-to-date frame shape
Quality fork
Hard-compound Schwalbe Nobby Nic tyres are poor performers
Slightly more powerful brakes would be a bonus

The Ribble HT Ti is a thing of beauty, but this titianium hardtail isn’t just about looks – it's got substance, thanks to progressive geometry that puts it firmly in the ‘enduro’ camp. A few spec choices seem at odds with the build and there's a steel version that makes this one look pricey, but if you're a sucker for titanium and hard, fast trails, you’ll want to take this bike for a ride.
