Ribble has launched three 'all-road' bikes under the collective 'exactly what it says on the tin' Allroad name. The new range falls under the direct-to-consumer brand’s new “Road+”  ethos that marries road-focused performance with the capability to tackle light off-road segments. 

Completing the range are the entry level Allroad SL - the model I've had the opportunity to ride ahead of the launch - the range topping Allroad SL R and the electric Allroad SL R e. All three boast comfort endurance geometry, but beyond that there are striking similarities as well as some significant differences, not least price.

Andy Carr
Tech Editor

Tech Editor, Andy Carr came to cycling journalism after ten years in the cycle trade, writing blogs and content whilst designing award winning bikes, for his own custom bike brand.

A life long cycling fan and rider, he left the City life in 2015, moving away to the Alps, where he worked as a ride guide, running pro-camps, and eventually started designing and building custom bikes.

Over a decade, that escape grew into a business, and Andy’s bike designs became well known in the industry.

He has always used his platform to champion higher standards in fit, design, and fabrication and his own products won awards and five star reviews in most of the major magazines.

Having run a bike shop, workshop, and award winning paint shop, producing custom bikes in metal and composite for customers all over the world, Andy has real life experience of the processes and work that go into producing great bikes and components; from desk work like FEA and CFD to physically testing products in wind tunnels, opening moulds for composite work, and getting products out of his head and into stores - alongside some of the insider processes few get to see.
