Ribble Cycles is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, with the Ribble 125 Campaign. A series of year-long events, and special edition bikes that celebrate the heritage of the brand. As part of the campaign they have recently added the Ribble 725 to their award winning gravel bike range which is a nod to their steel forging roots, with a modern twist.
The 725 features a comfortable and sleek steel frame crafted (as the name suggests) using Reynolds 725 steel tubing and gives the bike a timeless look that only steel tubing can offer and is paired with a full-carbon fork. It's suited for any style of gravel riding, thanks to the forgiving quality of steel, and it comes with a multitude of mounting points, so can be used for the best gravel adventures. I found it more than capable of handling a blast on the rough stuff, with the 650b wheels making it a super nimble and fun ride.
