Ribble CGR 725 Enthusiast – Shimano 105
The all new Ribble CGR 725 offers traditional class and the ride feel only experienced on a high end steel frame combined with contemporary features and geometry resulting in a rugged, highly versatility bike.
The CGR 725 is a hugely capable multi-terrain gravel bike. Designed around the elegant, ride smoothing, and infinitely rugged Reynolds 725 steel frameset is a package that offers incredible performance, durability and versatility. Shimano’s 105 groupset is the entry point into 11-speed shifting and has established itself as the most popular choice on the market today. This is in no small part thanks to its exceptionally smooth, precision shifting performance and incredible value.
Mavic’s ever-reliable Aksium wheelset shod with Schwalbe G-One 40mm tyres offer impressive year-round traction and reliability. With its generous tyre clearance, plus mudguard and rack compatibility, the CGR 725 is designed to excel both on and off-road and across a variety of surfaces.
Shimano 105 benefits from technology and features trickled down from its premium tier siblings and makes this ‘pro level’ shifting performance more accessible. The ultimate stopping power of Shimano 105 hydraulic disc brakes provide absolute braking confidence.
Mavic’s highly-durable Aksium wheelset makes them a surefire choice for both on-road and off-road riding, with sealed carridge bearings ensuring superb reliability throughout the seasons. Schwalbe G-One tyres are a tubeless-ready, multi-purpose tyre with impressive grip and fast-rolling ride characteristics, whether on paved surfaces, gravel or out on the trails.

After a delay of a couple of months due to Brexit and the pandemic, I finally took delivery of my Ribble CGR725 last week. In fact, I had been advised it was unlikely to be with me until February at the earliest, but got an unexpected text mid-Jan to tell me it would be here on Monday
It arrived pretty much fully ready to go – I just had to swing the bars round and tighten the stem. First impressions were excellent: really handsome, very well set up.
First ride meant a few stops and starts to get the saddle height right, but it’s now super comfortable, brakes and gearing are very smooth and the G-One tyres are very handy for the current wet/ icy/ gritty state of the roads.
This is my first real experience of a steel frame bike, and it definitely feels as though it rubs out some of the chatter from the road. Only small gripe is a bit of rub and whine from the front guard, but the folks at Ribble have been helpful and responsive with advice on sorting it and the offer of replacement parts. Very happy so far, and looking forward to the chance to mix up my road cycling with some trails and bridleways.

I have been riding bikes all my life but really got into serious road cycling with Bruton Cycling Club on moving to Somerset
I recently received my new CGR which is the perfect winter bike
Comfortable over bumps, amazing hydraulic disk brakes, clearance for tyres fatter than 28 if needed and solid mug guards which keep me and the bike clean over the water, mud grit and sh£t of Somerset back roads in winter
So many options, I found Sadiq in the shop very helpful
