Ribble Cycles has unveiled its new Allroad range. According to the UK bike firm this has been… ‘created with the prime purpose of redefining what’s possible on a road bike.’
The range is claimed to offer options for aerodynamic performance and mixed terrain adventures, without compromising on speed or comfort.
Ribble’s approach is called Road+ and the Allroad range is the culmination of a three-year R&D and real-world testing process – with manufacturing and technology informed by Ribble’s flagship Ultra Road aero platform.
The company added that… ‘Trickle down aero-optimised technology combines with the endurance properties of a more relaxed geometry to create a premier platform which can be ridden all-day, on multi-surface terrain, offering maximum performance and an enhanced ride experience.’
Jamie Burrow, Head of Product at Ribble, said “Our extensive R&D program has enabled us to introduce key findings into the Allroad range giving each bike a competitive advantage and performance edge resulting in a complete package for all riders.
“The Allroad platform has been meticulously designed and fine-tuned to offer an incredible all-day endurance ride paired with unbeatable performance.”
The Allroad platform comprises of three models – Allroad SL, Allroad SL R and Allroad SL R e.
Key features across the platform include aerodynamically optimised tube profiles, new endurance specific geometry, improved tyre clearance of up to 38mm (SL R & SL R e models), multiple mounting points (including hidden mudguard mounts), multi surface versatility and signature design livery.
Models boast the latest carbon technology with the range-topping SL R and SL R e models featuring a blend of T1000 and M46 carbon fibres The Allroad SL is constructed from T800 and T700 fibres and shares a number of the key aerodynamic features of the flagship SLR models.
One of the key innovations is the all-new Ribble UB2 bar (Ultra Bar 2nd Gen), available on the SL R and SL R e.
Ribble points out that this takes… ‘all the advantages of the patented Ultra handlebar’s air-flow disrupting wake generators, aero-sculpted drops and direct mount brake levers, and optimising them for an endurance road setup. The UB2 carbon handlebar brings added adjustability to the fully integrated, cable-free ergonomic design for all day riding on the hoods or drops.’
