With the new SL we have developed & produced a cutting-edge, highly advanced frameset that is incredibly light with new, carbon tube profiles designed to cut through the air. The high-end carbon frameset is very responsive to your accelerations, very little power transfer is lost & the overall ride feel is firm without being harsh. Designed with racing geometry & a short wheelbase, the SL puts you in a low, efficient & aggressive racing position. The overall design is aimed at saving you watts & following the Ribble pedigree of being the fastest bike out there. The SLs distinctively thin seat stays help build in some comfort into the rear triangle of the bike & a 27.2mm seat post also assists in taking some sting out of any rough road surfaces. An oversized bottom bracket shell & tapered head tube boost the bikes stiffness & efficiency making it stiff enough to sprint for victory as well as light enough to climb into the clouds. Over its matt carbon finish the SL boasts only subtle & understated graphics for a simple reason paint adds weight to a frame so our designers have gone minimalist with the colour scheme. Head of Ribble bike design James Dove says, Im really excited about this new & highly competitive Ribble bike. Not only is it super light, we have designed it for optimum performance & this is a bike that will see Ribble at the front of races again. Its a bike Im extremely proud of.
