Our fastest bikes, built to win
ULTRA-GRIT
Tested in the dust of Unbound, the chaos of The Traka, and the wilds of the Reiver, ULTRA-GRIT, like you, has real competitive grit and holds every UK Gravel Nationals title.
RIDDEN BY THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONS
Every UK Gravel Nationals title currently belongs to a Ribble Outlier - and every one of them was won on ULTRA-GRIT. It's the bike the fastest riders in the country reach for when there's a title or race win on the line.
Aero Advantage
Headwinds are universal. ULTRA-GRIT fights back with aero profiles taken from our fastest road bikes, fully internal cable routing and integrated cockpit options. It helps you hold speed, whatever the surface.
Race-Tuned Handling
Control wins races. With race-optimised geometry, flex stays and an asymmetric seat tube, the UCI-approved ULTRA-GRIT frame stays composed under pressure. Cockpit choices let you dial in handling for fast corners and rough descents.
Light & Efficient
Every effort counts. The 30T/33T carbon layup with M46 fibres keeps ULTRA-GRIT ultra-light and brutally efficient. A threaded BSA bottom bracket adds stiffness and easy servicing without compromising performance.
Endurance Integration
From solo missions to gravel epics, ULTRA-GRIT is adventure-ready. With 50mm tyre clearance, internal down tube storage, smart mounting points and UDH compatibility, it adapts to your ambition with zero fuss.
Ride Like A National Champion
Developed and raced by the Ribble Outliers, ULTRA-GRIT currently holds every UK Gravel Nationals title. Alongside the standard models, the Team Edition delivers the exact look and race-bred attitude of the Outliers' bikes, bringing pro-level inspiration to your own rides. Same uncompromising frame, same competitive intent - built to help you ride faster, push further, and chase the finish line like the pros.
Ribble Outlier Jenson Young set off before sunrise with one goal: catch two Global Cycling Network presenters who'd already been riding for 90 minutes. What followed was a relentless chase across 360km of the London Orbital Gravel Route, pushing both rider and bike to their limits.
