Ribble, the UK’s largest titanium bike manufacturer known for its long-standing expertise in hand-built bikes and innovative British design, has launched its latest model – the Allroad Ti titanium bike.
Blending advanced 3D printing technology with traditional bike-building methods, Ribble claims that the Allroad Ti marks the future of titanium bike design.
The Allroad Ti is crafted to optimise the renowned ride qualities of titanium – strength, durability, and comfort – while featuring a more relaxed endurance geometry, making it ideal for long rides across all types of road surfaces.
The bike is built from corrosion-resistant 3AL-2.5V titanium, with the headtube and seat tube clusters formed using additive manufacturing (3D printing) for unique aerodynamic profiles that enhance speed and performance.
Its over-sized threaded T47 bottom bracket delivers increased stiffness and boosts power transfer, while the D-shaped carbon seatpost offers added flexibility for comfort, featuring an integrated seat clamp for a streamlined look.
The Allroad Ti also includes carbon UB-2 handlebars with direct lever mounts and wake generators, improving both aerodynamics and ergonomics. The bike’s increased tyre clearance (up to 35mm) ensures versatility across a variety of terrains, while concealed mudguard mounts allow for year-round usage.
Thanks to the additive manufacturing process, the frame also benefits from fully internal cable routing, creating sleek, uninterrupted lines that emphasise the hand-finished brushed titanium. Each frame is individually crafted, preserving subtle traces of the maker’s touch, giving each bike its own distinctive character.
Design features include smooth, polished welds and seamless integration, alongside laser-etched logos and a debossed head badge created through the 3D printing process. The wider-profile carbon fork, finished in a metallic black gloss with brushed metal logos, further enhances the bike’s contemporary look.
Jamie Burrow, Head of Product at Ribble, said: “The Allroad Ti project has been an opportunity to push the boundaries of what is possible with titanium beyond basic round tube profiles.
“The additive manufacturing process has allowed us to take aerodynamic features from our Ultra range and apply them to this bike to create a high-performance titanium road bike with distinctive ride properties.
“From the initial prototype showcased at a leading industry show last year and launch today the bike has been through thousands of miles testing and multiple iterations to hone the design, ride and performance.”
The Allroad Ti is part of Ribble’s Allroad platform, which aims to redefine what’s possible with road bikes. It sits alongside the carbon Allroad SL R, SL, and SL R e models.
All Ribble bikes are built to order, and the specification can be tailored through Ribble’s configurator tool. The Allroad Ti showcased is based on the ‘Hero’ pre-build, priced at £9,799, with upgrade options available.
Other models in the range include the Allroad Ti Hero priced at £7,999, Allroad Ti Pro at £5,499, Allroad Ti Enthusiast at £4,099, and Allroad Ti Sport at £3,499.
