Versatility is at the core of the CGR range and this aluminium model certainly ticks all of the boxes. The endurance (relaxed riding position) geometry of the CGR Alloy makes this bike comfortable, composed, responsive and ready for any ride.
We liked the relaxed “endurance” riding position and our test bike, fitted with the excellent Shimano 105 groupset, was light enough to easily keep pace with clubmates on Sunday runs.
Engage adventure mode. 650b wheels, wider multi surface tyres, simple 1x groupset and mounts for luggage. The Adventure CGR Alloy is ready and raring to go off the beaten track.
Equally at home on the road with 700c wheels the CGR Alloy is ideal for a sportive or ride out with friends. A comfortable mile-eater that can outclass most.

I bought a CGR AL 105, I was concerned about the build quality, aesthetic, size and fitting before buying online having never seen the bike, as soon as I received the bike, all my concerns were removed completely. The orange looks amazing! It was well packaged to prevent any damage in transit. Minimum requirements needed to complete the build and a PDF file is provided through email, as not to get things wrong!
I had a fault on the seat clamp, which was unforeseen by everyone, it was in the casting stages the fault must’ve developed, however Ribble were very good to act on this and replace it with 24hrs with a water bottle for my inconveniences, once set up the stem I chose was a little to long also, Ribble swapped this for me on their 30 day money back guarantee!
Once out on the bike, I felt it was more smooth than my “Focus Izalco Race Ultegra” the ride and response on everything was really really good!
I feel I have a good solid reliable work horse, a thorough bred, it is not to weighty either, (Aluminium frame)
To sum up, a excellent bike covering all terrains in all conditions, without any problems, excellent customer service and after sales service! I wouldn’t hesitate to buy from Ribble ever again
