RIBBLE ENDURANCE SL R DISC
Ribble's naming standards can be perplexing. While the term "endurance" is frequently associated with a more relaxed fit, the Endurance bikes from Preston are race-ready road bikes. The Endurance SL R is the lighter of the two siblings, with the Endurance SL being the other half of the pair. The 'Ultra' is the'most aerodynamically advanced bike in the world,' according to Ribble, a bold claim that we have yet to verify (without a wind tunnel, it will be a tough job).
Ribble has a bike builder that allows you to customize all of the components as well as the color. The SRAM Red eTap AXS groupset, integrated Ribble Level 5 carbon integrated bar and stem, and Mavic Cosmic Pro Carbon disc wheelset were all included in the version we tested. This model costs £6,519, but you can get it for £3,699/$4,939.19 (Shimano Ultegra mechanical) to £6,999 (Shimano Dura-Ace) or $6,317.89 (Shimano Dura-Ace) (SRAM Force AXS). When compared to the large brand competition, this is undeniably good value.
