BIKE NEWS: RIBBLE’S AWARD-WINNING CGR RANGE JUST GOT BETTER —- The original ‘do it all’ bike, the Ribble Cycles CGR (Commute, Gravel, Road) range, gets an overhaul for its third generation. Built for the epic, every day.

Ribble Cycles has launched the third generation of its popular CGR (Commute, Gravel, Road) bikes. Hugely popular since it was first introduced in 2017, the new range has received some significant updates without messing with a winning formula.

Loved and trusted by riders for everything from weekday commutes to big Sunday rides, the CGR range has been overhauled with a stack of improvements for both its pedal and electric-assist versions. Every frameset in the collection has been redesigned to be more capable, comfortable and confident. Whether you’re riding cycle paths, roads or trails, running racks and bags, or keeping things stripped back, the new CGRs do away with the need for multiple bikes in the garage.

“The CGR range is for riders who don’t fit into a single category,” says Jamie Burrow, Ribble’s Head of Product. “They might ride a sportive one day, take a gravel shortcut back from work the next. One bike, go anywhere.

The updated CGR range includes aluminium, carbon, titanium and electric models. All feature mounts for mudguards and racks, 50mm tyre clearance, internal cable routing, and compatibility with 1X and 2X drivetrains. T47 bottom brackets are standard for reliability and easy maintenance. E-models run Mahle X20 or X30 systems with wireless controls and over-the-air firmware updates.

All models are now available in Ribble’s SportFit flat-bar configuration, as well as the classic drop bar, for riders who want a more upright, confident position
