Whether it's your favourite or nemesis ride, you visualise it in your head the night before, you know the roads like the back of your hand, every corner, climb and descent it’s as if you were there already….then press start, click in, change down, you're off, the anticipation as you glide out of town and onto the rolling roads up to the foot of the first climb.
The head wind doesn’t bother you; “tail wind home" you say to yourself. As the climb draws near you're conserving energy ready to hit it hard to beat that PB or take the KOM, the climb rolls on and you pass a few riders in their own moment of pain and ecstasy, the gradient steepens but you're feeling good, 100m to go that final push out of the saddle and the PB is yours, you’re the King of this Mountain.
Then focus your mind for the rewarding descent, the spoils for your effort unfolds in front of you, swooping down it’s as if you’re on rails, the swish of the tyres and the sound of the wind, at one with the machine.
Then the road opens up, you're back on the rolling roads with more climbs and technical descents to come but they're covered with poise and grace. The miles count down until you see the sign for home, one last push you change down 2 gears wind up the pace, down 2 more gears and you’re out of the saddle sprinting for the finish, you cross the line, you're home, exhilarated with a sense of accomplishment….
This is the essence of the Ribble Endurance SL!

Previously unimaginable mountain passes, not keeping up on hilly group rides and the rides that take you way outside your comfort zone are now in the past with the new Ribble Endurance SLe.
The 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.
Aerodynamics have been a major consideration in the development of the new Endurance SL with the new frameset generating up to 28.5% less drag compared to the previous generation.
Aerodynamic drag saving features include,
1, Truncated aerofoil down tube
2, Aero fork blade profile
3, Truncated aerofoil seat tube and seat post
4, Internal cable routing
5, Optional aero one piece cockpit enabling all cables to be routed internally and away from the airflow generating over 40% less drag compared to a conventional bar and stem set up (disc brake version has all cables completely hidden and caliper brake just the front brake cable).
Power transfer and torsional stiffness have been taken into account through the tapered downtube, oversize BB area and box section chainstays ensuring that your power wattage is efficiently transferred to forward motion. The tapered fork steerer, oversize headtube area and fork profile ensure that front end stiffness is taken care for out of the saddle efforts.
Comfort through road surface impact and vibration absorption is very important in an Endurance bike and the specific shapes and profiles of the seat stays, seat post and carbon cockpit ensure that the Endurance SL is smooth and comfortable over rough road surfaces and long distances.
The SL frameset has discreet mudguard mounts and tyre clearances for up to 28c tyres ensuring that the Endurance SL can be ridden in all season and weather conditions.

Ribble Endurance SL Customer Reviews
It was two days later before I had chance to take her out. A beautiful 16 degree sunny warm February day! Yeah make the most of it! I told myself that it would just be a short 10.5 mile cycle to see how the bike preformed and how I would preform. I had not been on a bike for a year or two.
So with all the kit on off I went. First impressions was that it seemed very smooth, ironing out any road buzz at the back end with a slight buzz through the bars. ( I looked at my mitts when I got home and the padding had gone out of them, so this might be why I felt a bit of buzzing through my hands. A new pair of mitts on there way). It also felt fast and direct. Going around a bend at 31mph it tracked beautifully with no hint of it being unstable. Going up a hill it felt easy to sit back and spin, but when you got out of the saddle it responded instantly.
All in all when I got back from my ride the first impressions were very positive. The bike looks stunning, very smooth, fast and responses instantly yet rock steady. Hopefully miles and miles of happy riding to come.
Worth the wait? Definitely.
