The multi-award
winner's rebirth
The latest iteration of the highly successful, test winning R872 (Winner of Cycling Weekly and Cycling Plus 'Best on Test' awards).
The R872 Disc has a versatile ‘sportive’ geometry which results in a bike equally well suited to epic century rides and fast commutes. Flat mount disc brakes ensure, powerful, modulated stopping power in all weather conditions. With its precision handling, stiffness and stability this is also an excellent choice for those wishing to dip their toe into the world of road racing or simply those looking for an agile and nimble road bike.
DESIGNED
WITH PASSION
Designed in house here at Ribble HQ in Lancashire and expertly hand crafted from carbon this stylish and lightweight machine is built to offer you the perfect combination of a high-end performance road bike but with a slightly more relaxed 'sportive' geometry. The shape and dimensions of each tube have been carefully selected to offer you the most compliant ride possible for those epic rides yet not lose nothing in the bike's agility.
The sleek profiled tubing offers a perfectly blended balance between high-end performance and styling. Internal cable routing has been incorporated within the design to both improve the lines of the bike and also to keep the cables out of the elements. This, in turn, ensures that the bike preserves its clean lines for better aerodynamics enabling you to ride faster and climb better than ever before! We have made various changes to the previous R872s design to achieve an improved ride feel, these include;
- An oversize profile, tapered downtube for improved torsional stiffness and power transfer.
- A dropped seat stay design for vertical compliance and vibration absorption enhancing comfort.
- An aero profile carbon bladed fork for precision steering.
- A tapered head tube offering improved front end stiffness.
- Disc Brakes for powerful, modulated braking in all conditions.
- The chainstays have been lengthened slightly to provide extra stability.
- Enhanced tyre clearance for additional comfort and grip.
- Internal cable routing for cleaner lines and protection for the cables.
- The tried and tested threaded bottom bracket design for increased durability.
WHY THE
R872 Disc IS FOR YOU
The R872 is the right bike for someone looking for the low weight and high-end performance characteristics of a high-end carbon road bike but at an accessible price. Whether you are looking for a bike to introduce you to the world of cycling or are thinking of dipping your toe into road racing the R872 is both a lightweight and durable choice.

- The quick and responsive ride quality will have you beaming as well as being eminently comfortable thanks to the low weight, endurance geometry and precision handling.

OPTIMAL
POWER TRANSFER
The dropped seat stays, as well as offering better protection from road vibration also offer better power transfer thanks to the reduced section of the rear triangle. This translates into a lightning-fast bike that is equally at home on the sportive as it is on your commute.
The compact rear triangle design combined with an oversize BB and box section chainstays allows more of the power generated to be transferred directly to the road. Every watt transferred into forward motion means less power is wasted, thanks to the increased torsional stiffness provided within the frames design features .
The front end stiffness is provided by the incorporation within the design of an oversize tapered head tube, tapered fork steerer and fork profile.
