ALLGRIT vs. ULTRA-GRIT: Which Gravel Bike Is Right for You?

19 August 2025
  • Gravel riding means different things to different riders. For some, it’s long days exploring mixed terrain with comfort and versatility. For others, it’s about flat-out speed on race day. That’s why Ribble offers two distinct gravel platforms: ALLGRIT and ULTRA-GRIT.

    Both are built to take you beyond the tarmac - but each has its own personality and purpose.

    Here’s how to decide which one fits your riding best.



  • ALLGRIT: Go Beyond

  • The ALLGRIT range is designed for riders who want a gravel bike that can do it all. Whether it’s off-road epics or all-day bikepacking trip. ALLGRIT balances performance with comfort and adaptability.

    • Comfort and Stability – With endurance-inspired geometry and wide tyre clearance, ALLGRIT delivers a smooth, confidence-inspiring ride on any surface.
    • Choice of Materials – Available in aluminium, titanium, carbon and electric-assist variants, you can choose the perfect frame and assistance level for your riding style.
    • Adventure Focused – Mounting points and frame features make it ready for bags, bottles, and gear, so you can pack up and head out ready for whatever the trail holds.


  • ULTRA-GRIT: Real Competitive Grit

  • ULTRA-GRIT is a bike created for speed, efficiency, and racing performance on the toughest courses. 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. Built to go faster and further.

    • Aero Advantage – Borrowing aerodynamic shaping from the ULTRA-RACE, ULTRA-GRIT slices through headwinds and open gravel straights.
    • Race-Tuned Geometry – Aggressive handling and a responsive frame design make it razor-sharp when it’s time to attack.
    • Lightweight Carbon – Engineered for stiffness-to-weight, every watt of power goes straight into the pedals.

  • Which Rider Are You?

    • Choose ALLGRIT if… you want one bike that can handle everything from adventure rides to everyday training. It’s versatile, comfortable, and built for exploring.
    • Choose ULTRA-GRIT if… you’re chasing podiums, speed, and a competitive edge. It’s a pure performance machine designed for riders who treat gravel like a race.

  • In Summary

  • Both bikes thrive off-road, but the difference is in their DNA: ALLGRIT is about adventure; ULTRA-GRIT is about speed. Whichever side of gravel you’re on, you’ll find a bike built to match your ride.
