Ribble Hero Collection - Hand built to Win

Engineered to give you every advantage in speed and handling, the Ribble Hero Collection ushers in a new era of performance. Whether its racing your mates for the signpost ahead, smashing your PBs, or taking it to the limit during full-gas gravel racing, these top-spec builds represent the pinnacle of performance.

For a century and more, Ribble has been at the forefront of bicycle design and innovation. Our vision is to create world-class bikes that transcend convention - utilising new technologies, intelligent design and extensive testing to chieve our goal of bringing innovative concepts to reality.

Our in-house R&D ensures that every new technological innovation is cascaded through the range, ensuring that multiple platforms share the same industry-leading design concepts and performance-enhancing features. For instance, the Endurance SL R's drag-reducing aerodynamic frame shapes transcend disciplines, being mirrored across platforms as diverse as the Enduracne SL Disc, Gravel SL, and CGR SL.

The Ultra is our fastest aero frameset ever, incorporating market-leading technologies as yet unseen on any Ribble road bike before. Every element of the frame, fork, and seat post has been dissected, analysed, profiled, and tested in the pursuit of aero perfection. To minimise drag, the forks work holistically with the head tube and handlebars to maximise airflow across a range of YAW that best simulates the wind conditions experienced by the everyday road riders. Our advanced build process involves a bespoke mix of Toray T1000 and T800 carbon fibres layered to an exact specification over an EPS inner core. This process ensures complete structual integrity of the fibres, resulting in a frame free of imperfections, whilst imbuing it with the highest stiffness-to-weight ratio of any production frame in the Ribble line-up. In laymans terms, we can build a frame that is lighter yet retains the same strength and stiffness as much heavier frames.

The pinnacle of Shimano road technology and innovation. Shimano Dura-Ace R9200 Di2 represents Shimano's first foray into the field of 12-speed wireless electronic gear shifting. Di2 gives you instant, accurate and lightning-fast shifts at the push of a button. Contrary to mechanical systems, you can even change gear under heavy load, with minimal interruption to the pedal stroke while accelerating or climbing. Shimano's hydraulic disc brakes have always been regarded as among the best in the business, delivering powerful and controlled braking, even on long descents and in the worst of conditions. Servo wave technology takes this a step further, ensuring minimal effort is required to bring the pads into contact with the rotor, resulting in more power and control for less effort.

Enve Foundation 65 wheels are wind tunnel tested and real world proven to deliver best-in-class aerodynamics and confidence-inspiring crosswind stability. Though originally targeted at time trialists and triathletes, this mid-section all-rounder offers serious roadies a bullet-fast wheelset for racing or competitive group rides. When the Ultra frameset was in development, it was crucial that the aero offered performacne gains at speeds achievable by recreational riders as well as pros. Enve has taken the exact same approach with the 65 wheelset, ensuring aero gains are optimised between the speeds of 20-30mph. Tubeless compatibility and pothole protection come as standard. The wheels have been matched with a tyre that combines the best elements of Continenal's GP4 Season and GP5000 tyres - the all-new GP5000 AS TR. Developed as a tubeless-ready alternative to the ultra-dependable GP4 Season, this new all-season tyre offers it all; exceptional all-condition grip, puncture protection and the incredibly low rolling resistance of a tubeless-ready tyre.

The Ultra SL frame is similar in almost every respect to its sibling, the flagship Ultra SL R aero bike. A deeper headtube and bottom bracket area, plus aggressive kammtail shaping throughout makes this the Ultra platform our stiffest and slipperiest aero frameset yet, guaranteeing significant aero gains for free speed. Taking an innovative approach to design and integration has created a bike that hits the pinnacle of aerodyanmic performance at real-world speeds and in everyday riding conditions.

The latest iteration of Shimano's Ultegra Di2 groupset now adds wireless electronic 12-speed shifting to an already potent mix. It delivers the world's fastest and most reliable wireless shifting and a wide gear range that means now matter how steep the climb; it's never outside your comfort zone. Di2 offers you fast, accurate and smooth gear shifts at the push of a button, each and every time. It even allows you to change gear under heavy load, when climbing or accelerating.

Offering an optimised blend of aero efficiency, weight, and durability, LEVEL DB56 Sport carbon wheels are as strong as they are versatile. A proven rim shape offers superior handling and crosswind stability, making them a sure-fire choice when going all-out for the KOM, setting a new PB or attempting a lone breakaway. Paired with one of the best all-rounders available in fast, grippy, and puncture-resistant Continental Grand Prix tyres.

The SL R's advanced monocque frame is ultralight and stiff, with a tapered downtube, oversize bottom bracket and box section chainstays ensuring every last watt of power generated by the riders legs is delivered to the road with little wasted effort. Oversized head tube area, fork steerer and fork profiles enhance front end stiffness for pinpoint steering control. Dropped seatstays improve vertical compliance, absorbing road chatter and leaving the rider fresher to ride for longer while enjoying an improved ride experience.

The Enve 45 is a modern carbon road wheel in every way. Riders with inclinations towards racing and hard solo efforts will find the dynamic properties the modern road rider needs. Foundational Enve technology has been used to create a drag-taming, crosswind defying ride. The rim width allows for higher volume modern road tyres to be fitted, allowing riders to access the performance benefits of tubeless systems; low rolling resistance, increased puncture protection and a smoother ride feel.

Like all the bikes in the Hero Collection, the Gravel SL's construction includes the highest quality Toray T1000 and T800 carbon fibres. By layering this in a specific way, we've created a frameset that is both light and super-stiff, enhancing agility and pwoer transfer. Dropped seatstays introduce vertical compliance, ensuring comfort without isolating you from the ride experience. A perfectly balanced geometry provides race-focused handling and acceleration whilst maintaining the same drag-efficient frame shape as our carbon road frames, ensuring speed is effortlessly maintained over rolling terrain.

Shimano’s GRX series has been developed specifically for mixed terrain riding where it’s optimised gear range, gravel-specific ergonomics and rugged reliability dramatically enhance your ride enjoyment. RX815 offers the digital precision of Shimano's Di2 electronic shifting system for a more intuitive ride experience and greater shifting precision than ever before. The additional power and control afforded by hydraulic disc brakes offers confidence inspired all-weather braking so you can enjoy every ride with complete confidence.

LEVEL’s lightweight, durable and tubeless-ready DB650 Carbon Sport wheels are designed to meet the performance needs of today’s gravel racer. The super-wide rim profile and sturdy 28-spoke build were selected to maximise strength while offering compatibility with tubeless tyres for mile after mile of off-grid exploration. We'vem matched the wheels with aggressive Halo GXC Gravel 650bx47 tyres, which provide plenty of traction when playing in the dirt or lighting it up on the loose stuff.

Since 2005, ex-England international footballer Geoff Thomas had raised millions for Cure Leukaemia. As an official event partner Ribble was delighted to present Geoff with a special memento of his incredible feat -the Ultra SL R Alumni Edition. Find our more in our blog.
