Ribble CGR AL Customer Reviews
I’ve been waiting to mix my commute up via gravel path and MTB tracks to get away from the rush hour traffic. Last night’s ride gave me a new experience I haven’t had since my early mountain bike days. Having this CGR has given me so many options to ride on or off road given my mood. This bike is great looking, solid, light, fast and super comfortable. I no longer need to worry about what the weather is doing as I have full confidence in this CGR to handle anything that is thrown at it!
I headed off on my local MTB loop, this picks up the road from the house down to the old railway line which is now a nice gravel track into the local town. This changes to a cycle path following the river out to the estuary. All gravel. I noticed the difference in speed from the MTB straight away but also liked the comfort the larger volume tyres gives over a cross bike. It was relatively dry so the WTB Horizons performed well, even in the bit of mud it seemed stable.
I picked up the sea wall and followed this alng for a few miles and then cut off for the full on climb home for the next 5 miles. Average speed seemed good on the way back and the bike spun along nicely. The bike is a bit more twitchy on the road but on gravel it feels better.
I finished my ride in a quicker than normal time, downloaded to Strava and had 10 PB's and a top ten. Considering my current fitness I was very happy with that.
Since then I have done a commute and again im loving the ride. It is ticking that box that I can use it to commute or do an weekend road ride but if I see a fun bit of gravel, or interesting trail I can nip off and explore.
