Ribble Cycles just launched a new, redesigned version of its titanium gravel bike, the CGR Ti. It looks good, very good.

Jamie Burrow, Head of Product at Ribble Cycles explains the development of the CGR Ti:

“The new CGR Ti features what has become our trademark dropped seat stay design further enhancing the balance between torsional stiffness, compliance and comfort. The all-new 44mm head tube adds further stiffness when riding out the saddle along with increased handling confidence – this detail is a personal favourite of mine, bringing a beautiful touch of class to a very elegant bike designed to perform at every level.”

The Ribble CGR Ti is built upon a custom profiled 3AL/2.5v titanium frame. The finish is beautiful, with seamless welds and tapered triple-butted tubing. The geometry should perform well both on or off-road. Other improvements include fully internal mechanical and Di2 cable routing. Full mudguard and rear rack bosses and improved tire clearance to accommodate 47x650b and 45x700c.
