We have taken a look at Ribble’s Summer Sale to bring you the best deals on bikes and accessories from the Preston-based UK brand.

Ribble has bikes suited to every discipline, including road bikes, hybrid bikes and mountain bikes, with electric bike models sitting within each range.

The brand also has selection of accessories and components available in its latest sale, with some serious savings to be had on wheels.

If you’re looking for more, you can check out Ribble’s sale page in full.

The Ribble Hybrid AL Fully Loaded is an all-round hybrid that can take on the daily commute and light touring duties thanks to the inclusion of mudguards and a rear rack.

The bike features a host of well-specced components, with a SRAM NX derailleur being used in the 1X drivetrain setup, and Tektro hydraulic brakes. It also has a sleek-looking integrated handlebar and stem, which is uncommon for a bike in this price range.

Our sub-editor, Gary Walker has been reviewing the Ribble Hybrid AL Fully Loaded as his long-term test bike, and has praised its versatility and engaging ride feel.

The Ribble R872 is an endurance road bike built around an in-house designed carbon fibre frameset that includes a full monocoque fork.

Shimano’s Tiagra groupset is used for shifting and braking, with an FSA Omega MegaExo crankset at the centre of the bike with a 50-34 tooth chainring.

Ribble has given the bike sensible tyres in the form of Continental Ultra Sport IIIs, which is something usually sacrificed on bikes at this price point for cost savings.

The Ribble Urban AL e is a step-thru hybrid bike made from 6061 aluminium and designed for comfortable commuting.

The bike uses a 250-watt Mahle X35+ motor that takes power from a 250Wh Panasonic battery located in the down tube.

Front and rear racks add to this bike’s versatility, with mudguards also fitted to keep the road spray off you when it’s wet.

The Gravel Ti Pro is Ribble’s top-of-the-range titanium gravel bike with bikepacking intentions. The frame features mounts for bike racks, mudguards and storage cages.

We tested the Ribble Gravel Ti Hero earlier this year and found the frameset to display excellent detailing, with clean welds and tidy fittings.

The Pro model uses Shimano’s gravel-specific GRX Di2 electronic groupset and comes with Mavic Allroad SL Road+ 650b wheels wrapped in Halo GXC Gravel 650bx47mm tyres.

Level Gravel Riser Flared handlebars are used with a 20mm rise, while a Brooks Cambium C-15 All-Weather saddle finishes off the contact points.

The Ribble Endurance 725 is a classically inspired steel road bike made from Reynolds 725 tubing. It uses a full carbon fibre fork, which should help with high-frequency vibrations from the road.

This Enthusiast build features a full Shimano Ultegra R8000 groupset and Mavic Aksium Alloy wheels booted in Continental Grand Prix tyres.

Ribble’s in-house Level 2 Carbon/Alloy seatpost is used, atop of which is a Prologo Kappa RS saddle.

The Endurance SL is Ribble’s carbon fibre endurance bike aimed towards gran fondo and sportive riders.

This Enthusiast build uses a full Shimano Ultegra groupset and features a Mavic Cosmic SL 40 Carbon wheelset, with a 40mm rim depth for reduced aerodynamic drag.

The carbon fibre doesn’t end there, with the front of the bike featuring a Level integrated carbon fibre handlebar and stem.

The Ribble HT AL Sport features a ‘hardcore hardtail’ geometry, with the frame featuring a slack 64-degree head angle and a relatively long reach measurement of 473mm for a size large.

This build spec offers serious value for money, with the bike using a full SRAM NX Eagle 1×12 drivetrain and Guide RE hydraulic disc brakes.

The bike has 150mm of front suspension, delivered by a RockShox Recon Silver RL, which should provide ample damping.

It appears Ribble has made every effort to ensure this bike is fun on the trail, fitting an in-house hydraulic dropper post with 150mm of travel, and Maxxis DHF and DHR tyres.

Continental’s GP5000 is a popular tyre choice that offers great all-round performance and predictable grip thanks to Continental’s Black Chili compound.

The tyre also features a Vectran puncture-resistant layer, which when we tested them resulted in zero flats.

Only the 28mm version is available from Ribble, though this is a popular width that many riders will be familiar with.
