Ribble launches the Allroad Ti – Crafted for More

News

Ribble unveils the new Allroad Ti. Crafted for more. Cutting-edge titanium construction, seamlessly sculpted lines, optimised for performance. Marrying state-of-the-art 3D printing with traditional construction techniques, this is the future of titanium bikes.

Ribble, the UK’s largest titanium bike brand synonymous with a longstanding heritage in hand-built bikes and innovative British design, showcases the future of titanium bikes with the Allroad Ti. Designed to maximise and enhance the unique ride qualities of Titanium with an endurance focussed geometry to deliver uncompromising performance, speed and versatility.

The Allroad Ti frame blends performance and comfort with compliance and resilience. 

  • Made from corrosion-resistant 3AL-2.5V Titanium, the headtube and seattube clusters are formed via additive manufacturing (3D printing) to create unique profiles, optimised for aerodynamic efficiencies. 
  • An over-sized threaded T47 bottom bracket increases stiffness and enhances power transfer. 
  • The D-shaped carbon seatpost allows for flex giving additional comfort and features an integrated seat clamp. 
  • The additive manufacturing process also allows for full internal cable routing as the key sections of the frame are formed from scratch, creating clean lines to show off the brushed, hand finished titanium frame in its full glory. 
  • Individually crafted, each frame is unique and retains subtle traces of the maker’s mark. 
  • Desirable design features include a modern sleek form, smooth hand polished welds with seamless integration alongside laser etched logos and a debossed head badge (generated as part of the additive manufacturing process).  Combined with a wider profile carbon fork, finished in metallic black gloss and brushed metal logos to further enhance the design.

“The Allroad Ti project has been an opportunity to push the boundaries of what is possible with titanium beyond basic round tube profiles. The additive manufacturing process has allowed us to take aerodynamic features from our Ultra range and apply them to this bike to create a high-performance titanium road bike with distinctive ride properties. From the initial prototype showcased at a leading industry show last year and launch today the bike has been through thousands of miles testing and multiple iterations to hone the design, ride and performance.” Jamie Burrow, Head of Product, Ribble

The Allroad Ti has been specifically designed for those who want the ride characteristics of titanium – strength, durability and resilience – combined with a more relaxed endurance style geometry for all-day riding on all road surfaces. The inclusion of the carbon UB-2 bars with their direct lever mounts and wake generators blends aerodynamics and ergonomics enhancing the overall performance of the bike. The increased tyre clearance (up to 35mm) offers versatility across riding surfaces with concealed mudguard mounts offering year-round riding capabilities.

The Allroad Ti forms part of the new Allroad platform designed by Ribble to redefine what is possible on a road bike and sits alongside the carbon Allroad SL R, SL and SL R e models.

All Ribble bikes are made to order and the specification can be customised using their configurator tool. The Allroad Ti featured is based on the ‘Hero’ pre-build specification, with additional upgrades via Ribble’s configurator and comes in at £9,799.

Additional recommended specs in the range include Allroad Ti Hero @ £7,999, Allroad Ti Pro @ £5,499, Allroad Ti Enthusiast @ £4,099 and Allroad Ti Sport @ £3,499
