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.

Simon Fellows
Freelance Writer. Former Tech Editor

Simon spent his childhood living just a stone’s throw from the foot of Box Hill, so it’s no surprise he acquired a passion for cycling from an early age. He’s still drawn to hilly places, having cycled, climbed or skied his way across the Alps, Pyrenees, Andes, Atlas Mountains and the Watkins range in the Arctic.

Simon now writes for Cycling Weekly as a freelancer, having previously served as Tech Editor. He’s also an advanced (RYT 500) yoga teacher, which further fuels his fascination for the relationship between performance and recovery.

He lives with Jo, his yoga teacher wife, in the heart of the Cotswolds, with two rescue cats, five bikes and way too many yoga mats. He still believes he could have been a contender if only chocolate weren’t so moreish.
