Description
The ULTRA GRIT is Ribble’s fastest gravel bike—developed and proven by our pro gravel team, the Ribble Outliers, in the chaos of the world’s toughest off-road races, from Unbound to The Traka to The Dirty Reiver. Weighing just 9.0 kg, this race-ready machine is built for riders who embrace the unknown and charge straight into it. It pairs our lightweight, aero-optimised frameset with a rugged, fully wireless SRAM Apex XPLR AXS electronic drivetrain, durable DT Swiss G 1800 alloy wheels, versatile 45mm Schwalbe G-One R tyres, and a comfort-focused Selle Italia Model X saddle.
Wheelset
Boasting a wide rim profile and robust construction, the DT Swiss G 1800 Spline alloy wheelset delivers confident control and comfort across rough and unpredictable gravel terrain. Paired with 45 mm Schwalbe G-One R Performance tyres, it strikes the perfect balance of speed, grip, and stability—ideal for riders who push the boundaries across varied and demanding surfaces.
Saddle
Stay stable and comfortable over rough terrain—our integrated seat post clamp, combined with a proprietary D-shaped carbon seat post and the Selle Italia Model X saddle, delivers excellent rear-end compliance and effectively reduces trail chatter for all-day comfort.
Suspension Fork Upgrade
When the gravel turns rough and the terrain gets technical, the RockShox Rudy Ultimate fork steps in to smooth out the ride. Available as an upgrade on the Ribble ULTRA-GRIT, this premium suspension fork is purpose-built for gravel racing—offering up to 30mm of travel for improved comfort, control, and confidence. Whether you're carving through gravel or hammering down technical descents, Rudy’s refined damping and lightweight design help you stay fast, focused, and in total command.
