Ribble’s new CGR (Commute, Gravel, Road) range launches today, with its multi-material, do-it-all all-road bike range, dropping a steel frame option off the extensive list of options, but gaining a drop bar variant available now with all frame material options.

The popular bikes – surely now contenders for some of the best value road and commuter bikes – are available in carbon, titanium and alloy, as well as two e-bike variants, continuing a welcome ‘real-world’ approach to both buying and riding a bike with this CGR range.

The alloy bike, heavier in the frame department than it’s carbon sister, drops down to the capable but less powerful Mahle 250w battery to reduce the size of the down tube needed and keep the weight sensible. At under 14kg, it’s certainly not heavy for a bike in this class and it’s likely to be popular with customers, thanks in part to the bang for buck you seem to be getting with what is also a good-looking and very versatile platform.

Whilst there’s a hydroformed Ti-X model, which visually borrows from the All-road Ti range, and the carbon frame which borrows aero features from the Ultra-race range, the industrial design progress is most apparent in the alloy version of the bike, where smooth welds and angular hydroformed tubing make the bike look indiscernible from a carbon bike in many ways. For the price, £1600, if the ride quality can match the looks, it’s going to be hard to beat.

CGR E AL is available in Black/Teal, with pricing starting from £2,899 (Shimano Tiagra HRD groupset, or Apex XPLR on the SportFit model) through to £3,199 (Shimano 105).

CGR E CARBON-X is available in Champagne Green, with pricing starting from £4,599 (Shimano 105 Di2) through to £3,999 (Apex XPLR AXS on SportFit), and £5,199 (Shimano Ultegra Di2).

The CGR range runs from an XS (suitable for riders 5’3” / 160cm tall) through to XL (for riders 6’4” / 193cm).
