The all new Ribble CGR SL is the ultimate in lightweight, high performance, rugged, versatility. The CGR SL range can take you anywhere from the highest mountain passes, distant trails or your most imaginative daily commute.
Versatile. One bike to do it all. The CGR family meets the demands of the modern rider because of its ability to do everything and tackle all surfaces and conditions.
The multi-wheel compatibility enables the CGR’s set up to be tailored to meet the demands of the terrain and conditions.
The CGR SL frameset is manufactured from a carefully selected blend of Toray’s T1000 and T800 carbon. Layered to an exacting specification using an advanced monocoque mould technology incorporating an EPS inner core system which ensures complete consistency of the structural integrity of the fibres and resin throughout the frame.
This system also eliminates excess material on the inside of the frame. The profiles and shapes designed into the frame are all there for a specific performance reason, from the truncated aerofoil down tube enhancing aerodynamic advantage and torsional stiffness to the seat stays designed for vertical compliance and vibration absorption. This frame is the epitome of design and attention to detail.
Built around a superlight, performance orientated, yet highly versatile platform, the CGR SL’s specification can be configured for Road, Off-road, Commuting or all three if you want one bike capable of excelling on all terrains.
