Ribble Gravel: new three-material, four-model range launches

Ribble's new range, simply called 'Gravel' offers a choice of carbon, titanium and aluminium and includes an e-bike

Ribble Gravel SL

Ribble has launched a new gravel range that the Preston brand says is "designed for riders looking to conquer off-road terrain." There are four base models, including an e-bike, and three materials: titanium, carbon and aluminium.

The Gravel Ti is, Ribble says, exquisitely handcrafted with a triple-butted, custom profiled 3AL/2.5V titanium frame. Meanwhile the Gravel SL uses a lightweight carbon monocoque with aero profiles, and the Gravel AL is built from 6061T6 heat-treated aluminium – also the material used for the Gravel AL e. Ribble describes the latter as a lightweight electric gravel bike that looks, rides, and feels just like a traditional off-road bike, except it gets 250Wh of extra power from the hub-mounted Mahle EBM X35+ motor, as used in the brand’s lightweight Endurance SL e that was included in our Editor’s Choice list last year.
