Ribble R872 105 review

Apr 2018 · Simon Withers

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

Highs
  • High-quality lightweight carbon frame that’s stiff and responsive, and still fantastic value

Lows
  • Geometry might be too racy for some and the price rise has taken it over £1,000
