It’s a gloriously luxurious feeling and looking machine that’s fast and engaged enough to enjoy pure road miles but comfortably capable of exploring off-road options.
Cycling News logoCycling News
The Ribble CGR Ti Sport hearkens to another cycling tradition altogether: that of the long and leisurely ride that’s taken at a slower pace and takes you to places you’ve not been before.

Ribble CGR 725 SRAM Apex 1x 650b 2020 review

Jun 2020

Ribble's CGR 725 SRAM Apex 1x 650b is a hugely versatile bike that offers incredible value to boot. The combination of steel frame and plump but fast-rolling 47mm tyres deliver a comfortable ride on dirt while still being plenty quick on road, with sorted handling that's a happy medium between stability and steering agility; it's quite possibly all the drop bar bike you need for gravel, road or commuting.
