For commuters, the Ribble Urban is ideal, and comes in both aluminium and steel options, with flat bars and thick tyres that will take on those inevitable bumps in the road.

If you’re an adventurer setting off on a long tour, then Ribble’s Adventure collection should have you covered. The steel-framed Adventure 725 is great value for money, while if your pockets are a bit deeper, the Adventure Ti would make the ultimate long-distance machine.

Are you a serious racer who isn’t married to the road? The Ribble CX collection is built for cyclocross racing, while the Ultra Tri is perfect for those who like a triple challenge.

Finally, if you’re looking for an extra push, Ribble has a carbon electric road bike on offer, the Endurance SLe, which will be sure to get you up previously unimaginable climbs.
