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
‘Hidden’ SX cassette on ‘Pro’ build

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.

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.

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
