Description
The ULTRA-GRIT is Ribble’s fastest gravel bike—developed and proven by our pro gravel team, the Ribble Outliers, in the chaos of the world’s toughest off-road races, from Unbound to The Traka to The Dirty Reiver. Weighing just 8.3 kg, this is the machine for riders who embrace the unknown and ride straight into it. It pairs our lightweight, aero-optimised frameset with the robust and lightning-fast Force XPLR AXS E1 electronic drivetrain, aerodynamic Vision SC45 carbon wheels, versatile 45mm Schwalbe G-One R tyres, and a comfort-focused Selle Italia Model X saddle.
Groupset
Force XPLR AXS E1 is built for gravel riders who push the pace, combining wireless precision, confident braking, and a lightweight, resilient design. The 13-speed 10-46T cassette and Full Mount rear derailleur deliver smooth, reliable shifts over rough terrain, while refined chain management keeps everything under control when the ride gets rowdy. With simplified setup and rock-solid durability, it’s made for performance beyond the tarmac. The integrated power meter, neatly housed in the DUB spindle, provides stealthy, ultra-accurate data tracking—lighter, longer lasting, and ready to perform in all conditions, so you can train smarter and ride harder, no matter the weather.
Wheelset
The Vision SC45 carbon wheels are engineered for versatility, delivering the perfect balance of speed, efficiency, and control. Featuring a refined 45mm depth and 23mm internal width, this wheelset is optimised for minimal drag, stable handling in crosswinds, and a smooth, responsive ride. Paired with 45 mm Schwalbe G-One R Pro tyres, it strikes the perfect balance of speed, grip, and stability—ideal for riders who push the boundaries across varied and demanding surfaces.
Handlebars
Precision-engineered from high-grade carbon, the Ribble Aero Gravel integrated handlebars combine race-ready stiffness with a streamlined aero profile to reduce drag and enhance efficiency. Flared drops provide added stability and control over rough terrain, while ergonomic shaping ensures all-day comfort. Fully integrated cable routing completes the sleek, cable-free aesthetic.
Saddle
Stay stable and comfortable over rough terrain—our integrated seat post clamp, combined with a proprietary D-shaped carbon seat post and the Selle Novus Boost Evo saddle, delivers excellent rear-end compliance and effectively reduces trail chatter for all-day comfort.
Suspension Fork Upgrade
When the gravel turns rough and the terrain gets technical, the RockShox Rudy Ultimate fork steps in to smooth out the ride. Available as an upgrade on the Ribble ULTRA-GRIT, this premium suspension fork is purpose-built for gravel racing—offering up to 30mm of tunable travel for improved comfort, control, and confidence. Whether you're carving through gravel or hammering down technical descents, Rudy’s refined damping and lightweight design help you stay fast, focused, and in total command.
