A race bike is a high-performance road bike designed to deliver the optimal blend of speed, agility, and efficiency. It features lightweight materials, aero-enhancing frame designs, and aggressive geometry to maximise power transfer and minimise drag.

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A RACE BIKE AND AN ENDURANCE BIKE?

Race bikes are stiffer and more aero, made for maximum speed. Endurance bikes are more relaxed and comfortable, better for long-distance riding.

ARE AERO BIKES FASTER THAN STANDARD RACE BIKES?

Yes. Aero frames and cockpits reduce drag and save watts, giving you more speed on flat and rolling terrain.

WHICH RIBBLE RACE BIKE SHOULD I CHOOSE?

- ULTRA-RACE: Lightweight carbon, built to out-climb and out-sprint - ULTRA-AERO: Integrated aero design, proven watt savings - ENDURANCE SL R DISC: Race-bike speed with endurance comfort

WHY CHOOSE A RIBBLE RACE BIKE?

Hand-built in the UK, tested with pro riders and fully customisable, Ribble race bikes deliver uncompromising performance for every rider.
