Ribble has announced the release of a pair of new bikes, with the new Ultra-Road endurance bike completing the Lancashire brand's high-performance line-up. Meanwhile, the new Allroad brings value-packed all-day comfort.
The Ultra-Road combines high-performance aerodynamics and endurance geometry, becoming the brand's new flagship long-distance road bike.
The new release is part of Ribble’s top-of-the-line Ultra series. Joining the Ultra-Aero, Ultra-Race and Ultra-Grit, the Ultra-Road is the first of Ribble’s premium range not to be aimed purely at racers. However, it does come with UCI approval.
The new Allroad Carbon has evolved from Ribble’s Allroad SL. Ribble says the new model brings another level of smooth riding on everything from tarmac to broken, unmetalled roads.
Builds of both bikes can be upgraded with a new 'Aero Pack' option, upgrading the alloy rims and two-piece bar and stem to an integrated carbon cockpit and Mavic Cosmic S 42 carbon wheels. These are the most popular upgrades chosen by Ribble customers, so it decided to offer them as a bundle.
The £700 option saves riders more than £400 compared to the individual component costs, according to Ribble.
2026 Ribble Ultra-Road
The Ultra-Road's design takes the aerodynamic approach of the Ultra series and matches it to a more achievable and sustainable riding position.
Ribble’s CEO, Sean Hastings, explains: “There’s a belief in cycling that an aggressive position means you’ll be faster."
He continues: “Most riders can’t maintain an extreme position for long. When they try, fatigue builds, power drops and riding is less enjoyable; trying to emulate a pro’s riding position isn’t right for everyone. ULTRA-ROAD is designed around that insight – it’s a performance road bike with a fit that most riders will actually perform better on.”
Andy Turner, founder of ATP Performance Cycle Coaching, agrees: “A less aggressive position is far more likely to yield the fastest position in the real world, especially for your typical club rider or experienced amateur."

2026 Ribble Ultra-Road details
The Ultra-Road has a similar sculpted head tube profile to the Ultra-Race and the aero down tube uses the same blended aero bottle cages. A down-tube storage port adds practicality and a UDH dropout makes it future-proof.
With Ribble bikes being designed in the UK, we get proper mudguard mounts as standard (something often omitted from high-end endurance bikes). The Ultra-Road also has generous 38mm tyre clearances.
The geometry has a higher stack and shorter reach than the race-ready Ultra-Aero and Ultra-Race road bikes.

2026 Ribble Allroad Carbon
The 2026 Allroad Carbon brings plenty of updates to the original Allroad SL design.
Up front, it’s a full redesign. Adding fully integrated cable routing and the new fork brings added aero details such as the covered thru-axle dropout.
Ribble has also worked on the construction and materials, and it claims the new Allroad is significantly lighter than the older SL.
The newly designed fork has increased tyre clearance to 35mm, and the same is true of the frame. A UDH dropout and proper mudguard eyelets bring it in line with the Ultra-Road.
