Ribble - R872 Matt Black
Our challenge was to improve our best-selling carbon road bike. How do you actually improve an already perfectly balanced award-winning bike? The R872 has been so popular with road racers, triathletes and the Cycling Press that we listened to their needs for an even stiffer and faster ride. At the heart of the R872 is a cutting edge, full carbon frameset featuring internal cable routing, a tapered head tube, a stiffened up bottom bracket shell and deep chain stays for improved power transfer. Itis of course compatible with electronic groupsets too. The R872 tubing profile and carbon layup has been significantly re-designed for 2017. There is new, integrated designing between the fork and down tube to improve the bikes aerodynamic efficiency. Not only is the new R872 head tube tapered,
but its also shaped to cut through the air with ease. The frame also features new carbon drop outs helping to keep the weight down. The only aspect that we were unable to improve upon in some way, however small, was the proven geometry which remains unchanged. The new R872 retains its small head tube and short, racy top tube which has made it such a favourite on the amateur race scene. When compared with the previous model the stiffness statistics show why we think the R872 will help you stay competitive in races with even better power transfer features. Fork in-line (front/back) stiffness - Increased 16.4%Fork lateral stiffness - Increased 26.5%Frame head tube stiffness - Increased 8%Frame BB stiffness - Increased 15.4%Frame chain stay stiffness - Increased 14% The R872 remains a
stiff and well balanced race bike. Its ready to take on big mountains or your local climbs and its stealthy features make it equally fast on the flat. What are you waiting for? What the press said about the original R872 - The R872 offers all-day comfort with excitement and verve. BikesEtc Serious bang for your buck. Cyclist Magazine Delivers gold for the price of silver (or bronze). Cycling Tips The R872 is a very impressive bike indeed...the geometry is spot on. There's absolutely no doubt that the Ribble offers super value for money. A high-modulus carbon frame paired with a complete 105 groupset for 1000 is exceptional - 10 out of 10 Cycling Weekly - Best on Test August 2017 - purchase this exact bike here
