WHAT IS A SPORTFIT BIKE?

A SPORTFIT bike is Ribble’s take on the flat bar road and gravel concept. They use the same award-winning frames as our drop-bar bikes, but with a flat handlebar and more upright riding position. This gives you more comfort, control and confidence compared to a traditional road or gravel setup.

HOW IS A SPORTFIT BIKE DIFFERENT FROM A HYBRID BIKE?

Unlike a standard hybrid, SPORTFIT bikes are based on high-performance road and gravel platforms. They’re lighter, faster and more capable, with modern gearing, disc brakes and frame designs optimised for real-world riding. A hybrid is best for short leisure rides, while a SPORTFIT can handle commuting, fitness riding and weekend adventures.

ARE SPORTFIT BIKES GOOD FOR COMMUTING?

Yes. The upright position, flat bar control and option for racks, mudguards and wider tyres make SPORTFIT bikes ideal for commuting. They’re quicker and more efficient than a typical hybrid, and tougher for all-weather, year-round use.

SHOULD I CHOOSE MULTI-SURFACE OR GRAVEL SPORTFIT?

It depends on where you ride most. Multi-Surface SPORTFIT bikes are best if you spend more time on tarmac with occasional light trails. Gravel SPORTFIT bikes lean further off-road, with geometry and tyre clearance for rougher terrain and bike packing.

ARE FLAT BAR ROAD AND GRAVEL BIKES BECOMING MORE POPULAR?

Yes. More riders are choosing flat bar road and gravel bikes for their mix of speed, comfort and control. They’re especially popular with commuters, new riders who don’t want drops, and anyone who values stability and visibility without losing performance.
