Ribble's Allroad SL R: A Versatile All-Road Bike at a Reduced Price
Ribble's Allroad SL R, a versatile all-road bike, has been launched under the Road+ banner. Priced between the Allroad SL and Allroad Ti, it offers a blend of performance and value, with a reduced price for the Hero build at £5,999/$6,750.
The Allroad SL R is designed for amateur and endurance cyclists, prioritising mixed surface riding over professional racing. Its geometry, with a 73-degree head angle and moderate wheelbase, is typical of endurance bikes, providing comfort and stability.
The frame is constructed from a blend of Toray T1000 and M46 high-modulus carbon fibre, offering increased strength, compliance, stiffness, and lightness. This, combined with a Dura-Ace Di2 groupset and Zipp 303 Firecrest wheelset, makes the Hero build, originally £6,999/$7,870, a stonking value at its reduced price. The bike also features a Selle Italia SLR Boost 3D Kit Carbonio Superflow saddle and a D-shaped carbon seatpost.
The reviewer prefers all-road bikes like the Allroad SL R over gravel bikes for road-biased riders seeking multi-surface versatility. The bike shares design cues with the Ultra SL R, Ribble's aero race machine, providing performance advantages but with some compromises. It has a maximum tyre clearance of 38mm on a 700c wheel, suitable for mixed surface riding.
The Allroad SL R is a versatile all-road bike offering excellent value for money, with a reduced price for the Hero build. Its endurance-focused geometry and high-quality components make it an appealing choice for amateur and endurance cyclists seeking a multi-surface ride.
