Ribble cycles has updated their long running versatile all road gravel bike with the new affordable titanium cgr ti gravel bike. The cgr ti is designed to be all road suitable for tarmac roads gravel trails and everything in between. I d say it errs on the side of gravel with enough tyre clearance for 47mm. Ribble s first e bike caused quite a stir when it hit the market in 2019.

This disc brake equipped mudguard shod do a bit of everything machine that makes a lot of sense for the rider who doesn t always want to stick to the tarmac. Cgr stands for cross gravel road with the promise that this bike can handle it all. Short for cross gravel road the cgr has long been ribble s most versatile do it all dropbar bike and now in titanium it adds in a lifetime of chewing up any dirt gravel or paved road in its path. As it s name suggest the cgr al is built from aluminium you can also get a titanium or steel framed cgr for extra choice and has a much.

Cross gravel road that s what the cgr initials stand for on ribble s all rounder a bike with solid gravel bike dna that s also up for adventure road bike riding. My only gripe is the limited choice of wheels available on the bike builder. And if sleek titanium tubes flawlessly shaped into an adventure seeking disc brake frameset are what you re looking for then you can. And even at first glance it s easy to see why.

The bike looks great as all titanium bikes do. Orro gold stc disc review. It s not standard to start a bike review by declaring your love but the ribble cgr ti isn t exactly a standard bike. British titanium specialist j laverack has added a gravel bike to its range called the grit which can take up to 700x48 or 650x52 wheels and tyres and costs 2 050 for the frame with complete bikes priced from 3 850.

The ribble cgr ti 650b is one of our bike of the year bikes for 2019. I d prefer something in between. There was a choice of a cheap pair of wheels or two incredibly expensive wheels. Here is another new gravel and adventure bike to add to your wishlist.
