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.

Ribble CGR SL Customer Reviews
Very good grip, confident in mud and over cobbles. Also very assured on the road. Mudguards meant that I was dry (for once) on a horrible cold very rainy day.
I intend to use the bike as a winter road bike and I’m confident the wider tyres and disc brakes will cope with the British weather. Also intend to do some trails so the CGR gives me the flexibility to do that. Also going to fit a rack for touring as well.
The staff at Ribble were incredibly helpful, spending time talking through the spec options before I ordered the bike. Oh and the carbon frame is excellent and helps keep the overall weight down.
That said loved it from the first few miles and can see it being a great investment as an all round bike, winter, off road, bikepacking and commute. Difficult to recommend bikes but would have no hesitation with this CGR SL, everyone in my club have commented on how good it looks
Ribble CGR SL Press Reviews
‘Cross, gravel, road’ - the new Carbon fibre CGR SL from Ribble is their new lightweight, multi surface adventure bike. It’s fully customisable on their website but I borrowed the version equipped with Ultegra Di2 and Zipp 302 wheels couples with a 35c Schwalbe G-One tyre. It’s bike that will make a statement on a club ride but happily handle a bit of a beating down the gravel tracks and towpaths without any tweaks.
Out on the road the frame is responsible and still, letting you get the power down; the geometry isn’t as aggressive as your out and out racing bike but feels more than enough for a bit of competitive riding on a weekend. The aero bars on the SL make the bike look pretty smart and add to the look; coupled with the Zipp 302 you could be forgiven for thinking it was an all out road bike.
Take the bike off road and it’s more than capable of holding it’s own; the 35c tyres give a comforting amount of grip on the gravel. The frame can take a 45c tyre on a standard road wheel so if you’re not a fan of getting your Zipps mucky you can always swap out for some spare wheels and a chunkier tyre. The aero bars are surprisingly comfortable off-road; the detailing on the top of the bar acts as a gripper helping stop your hands from slipping.
In a nutshell, a great bike for showing off on the club run that can handle the abuse when you want to break from the ordinary.
