Summary

The Ribble CGR is a versatile gravel bike praised for its comfortable ride quality, stable handling on various terrains, and customizable options. It excels in both road and gravel conditions, offering a smooth ride with good isolation from road imperfections.

  • Comfortable ride quality with good vibration isolation

  • Stable and planted feel on technical terrain

  • Customizable spec and paint color

  • Good tyre clearance and mounts for bikepacking

Cons
  • Significant weight

  • Non-tubeless wheelset

  • Handlebar could benefit from more flare for gravel riding

  • Upright ride position may not suit all
