Ribble CGR AL

13 reasons to buy

• The Ribble CGR AL is constructed out of durable, seamlessly welded aluminum.
• The carbon fork dampens vibrations felt over rough roads.
• Internally routed cables give the bike a clean and tidy appearance.
• The threaded bottom bracket is easier to maintain than a press-fit bottom bracket.
• WTB and Prologo saddle options are comfortable, according to experts.
• Ribble offers the bike in sizes XS to XL, allowing a wide range of riders to use it for their adventures.
• The CGR AL comes with or can be fitted with either 700c or 650b tires and wheels.
• The bike is available with a 1x or 2x groupset. One tester found that the 1x setup was less likely than a 2x to collect mud and muck on a wet cyclocross course.
• The CGR AL can keep up on road rides. Experts suggest using a 700c wheelset on the bike if this is your primary activity on it.
• The price is affordable for such a versatile machine.
• The ability to run 47mm tires smooths out one's ride over gravel roads with a 650b setup.
• The geometry of the bike places riders in a comfortable riding position that gives them confidence riding on roads, gravel and cyclocross courses.
• The bars are slightly flared. This gives riders control riding off-pavement terrain and provides riders with multiple places to comfortably rest their hands.
