Ribble R872 Ultegra
Code: OUTLETSALE20
R872 Ultegra
A multi-award winning frame, the R872 is hands down the most popular road bike with our customers and staff.
With improved ergonomics, and trickle-down technology from Dura-Ace, the performance from R8000 is increased from the previous incarnation, with it being stiffer and more efficient.
With a new, super stiff 4-arm chainset, that are beefy but attractive, and a striking silver colourway, the new Ultegra R8000 screams power and encourages you to ride harder. A new shifter design improves long distance comfort, and stopping power is improved thanks to sleek dual-pivot caliper brakes.
Ultegra R8000 is the perfect match for the much improved R872 frame.
The frame has been made stiffer in key areas, such as the bottom bracket and chainstays for optimised power transfer, but we have also made it more comfortable by changing the seatpost to a 27.2mm diameter which offers a little more flex.

Don’t know why I forgot to review itHave the Ultegra R872 for 18 months , I am super satisfied , ride it in long rides , on mountains , to sprints , light , very good looking , for that price , the best you can buy.

the r872 is , in my opinion unbeatable .The catalyst for my buying my new Ribble r872 was being persuaded ( against my better judgment )
to enter the Alpe d,Huez triathlon . Having struggled to get my previous Ribble Sportive road bike up Jeffrey hill , I thought " time to upgrade ".
So , thankfully the bike was ready for collection in only five days , a real bonus , as it meant that my
first real ride would be the 40k loop around Winter Hill used on the Horwich Triathlon .
Work commitments meant that I only had time for a very brief Saturday evening trial ride ,
everything felt fine instantly , so trusting to Ribble build quality I packed the bike ready for Sunday mornings Horwich tri.
With hindsight , so many things could have gone wrong ; nothing did !
The bike felt comfortable , light , responsive ,well equipped and perfectly built from the off ,
so much so , that I was almost reluctant to get off and start running at the end of the bike leg , I would have happily gone round again !
I didnt even need to adjust the saddle height ( how do they do that ? )
There are of course any amount of other bikes that I could have chosen ,
but in terms of value for money , the r872 is , in my opinion unbeatable .
If anyone is wondering , the new bike enabled me to slice nine and a half minutes off
my previous best for that route . Result !!!! -
R872 SilverAcquistata in outlet, mi è piaciuta da subito. Dopo tre mesi di uso, posso dire che la R 872 è una bicicletta eccezionale, rigida, veloce e con una stabilità da fare invidia alle più blasonate e più costose concorrenti. Grazie Ribble!

- Do you do an 11/32 cassette for this bike in bike build. If not what would I need to change to make it an 11/32. Any idea of price to do it?
-
Thanks for getting in touch
This bike is equipped with an 11-28 cassette, and I am afraid that there is no option to change this at point of purchase. If looking to swap to an 11-32 in the future, you would need a new cassette, rear medium cage derailleur and a new chain.
If you have any further questions, please do get in touch
