In July 2024, Ribble launched a trio of endurance bikes under its Allroad banner, to satisfy the growing number of roadies with an appetite for riding more adventurous surfaces. Light, fast gravel anyone? Check. Pothole-strewn country lanes and broken tarmac? Check.
Of the three bikes, the Allroad SL is the humble, entry-level model. Above it sits the more focussed SL R – think more refined aero features and higher-grade carbon – and its Mahle X20-powered e-bike sibling. All have been developed using an approach Ribble calls Road+ – namely fast, agile road bikes that aren’t constrained by the confines of tarmac.
