WHAT IS AN ADVENTURE BIKE?

An adventure bike is a versatile flat-bar bicycle built to handle both on-road and off-road riding. With wider tyres, stable geometry and a durable frame, it offers the comfort of a hybrid with added capability for gravel tracks and trails.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN ADVENTURE BIKE AND A HYBRID BIKE?

Hybrid bikes are designed mainly for urban and leisure use, while adventure bikes are more capable on rough terrain. They feature stronger frames, wider tyres and handling designed for confidence when you head off the tarmac.

WHAT IS THE BEST ADVENTURE BIKE?

The best adventure bike depends on how and where you ride. Ribble offers a range of lightweight, flat-bar adventure bikes that combine off-road capability with on-road efficiency, perfect for UK conditions.

ARE ADVENTURE BIKES GOOD FOR COMMUTING?

Yes. Their versatility makes them excellent commuter bikes, especially if your route includes canal paths, gravel tracks or uneven roads. They’re comfortable, practical and can be fitted with racks and mudguards.

ARE ADVENTURE BIKES LIGHTWEIGHT?

Ribble’s lightweight adventure bikes use materials like aluminium or carbon to reduce weight while staying strong enough for mixed terrain. This makes climbing, carrying and handling easier without losing durability.
