Ribble Gravel Ti Pro review – a versatile gravel speedster

Nov 2023 · Neal Hunt

It looks like a titanium bargain on paper, but how does Ribble’s Gravel Ti perform in the real world?

Highs
  • Surprisingly stiff

  • Fantastic finish

  • Classic zingy titanium ride quality

  • Great geometry makes it a comfortable mile muncher

  • Competitive on price

Lows
  • Tire clearance could be wider for proper off-road rubber

  • Overgeared in this spec

  • Wheels are not the most gravel-friendly option
