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 8.9 kg, it's built for riders who thrive on the unknown. This durable build pairs a lightweight, advanced carbon frameset with SRAM’s Rival XPLR AXS E1 wireless groupset. DT Swiss alloy wheels, versatile 45mm Schwalbe G-One R tyres, and a Selle Italia Model X saddle complete this race-worthy package.
Groupset
Rival XPLR AXS E1 is built for riders who go deep into the wild and push hard every mile. Its tough, lightweight design delivers precise 13-speed wireless shifting across a 10-46T range—so you're always in the right gear, whether grinding up loose climbs or sprinting to the line. The Full Mount rear derailleur shrugs off abuse, while refined braking keeps you in control on technical descents. With a spindle-based power meter seamlessly integrated into the redesigned alloy crankset, you get the reliable data you need to ride smarter, train harder, and explore further—without adding bulk or complexity.
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.
