Ribble has added a new model to its road bike line-up with the Ribble Endurance Ti Disc. The R&D team at Ribble has introduced titanium to the Ribble brand’s Endurance range. The aim has been to create a ‘modern day road-focused endurance machine – which provides the ultimate titanium riding experience for the road bike connoisseur.’
“We’ve built upon our successful Endurance range creating and hand-crafting the Endurance Ti – a machine that devours the big miles,” said Jamie Burrow Head of Product at Ribble.
“Stiff, light and responsive it screams to be ridden fast and far – seamlessly fusing the exemplary feel and performance of a high-end racing bike with a versatile geometry and the fatigue-reducing qualities of titanium. With its infinitely comfortable ride feel, sleek looks and cutting-edge design features it is the perfect choice for the endurance rider looking for the perfect life-long companion to tackle the rigours of today’s roads and expand their road riding horizons.”
Design features include: a handcrafted custom profiled and tapered triple butted 3AL/2.5V titanium frame in a high polish, with brushed finish. Riders of all experience and ability can benefit from a road focused endurance geometry that claims to offer a balance of handling, stability and comfort.
Internal cable routing with Di2 compatibility preserves the clean lines of the frameset whilst providing additional protection from the elements. The dropped seatstay geometry adds compliance by reducing the rear triangle resulting in enhanced lateral stiffness for handling precision and power transfer. There is a 44mm head tube, with lightweight full carbon monocoque front fork and tapered steerer for increased front end stiffness, handling and road vibration absorption.
The Ribble Endurance Ti Disc has three suggested builds – Sport with Shimano 105 at £2,299, Enthusiast with Shimano Ultegra at £3,299 and the Pro with Shimano Ultegra Di2 at £4,299. Or, riders can choose their own spec by using Ribble’s online BikeBuilder tool.
