Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the CGR 725 is handcrafted from the finest Reynolds 725 steel. Its compatibility with multiple wheels and tyre sizes, plus a vast choice of spec customisation options mean that the CGR 725 can handle the toughest roads, terrain and weather conditions without missing a beat. This ultra-versatile machine can take you anywhere, from the highest mountain passes to back-country roads, distant trails or your most imaginative daily commute.
Designed, built, and tested in the UK, the CGR 725 is manufactured from the finest Reynolds steel tubing, tubing produced as it has been for over a century at their factory situated in the very heart of England.
The frameset is manufactured from British Reynolds 725 steel tubing which is triple butted with seamless welds for exceptional strength and durability whilst offering that compliant ride quality that is synonymous with a high-quality steel frame.
*All cables are routed internally through the frame to enhance the sleek look of the bike as well as provide additional protection for the cables. There's ample clearance front and rear which improves the CGR 725's mud-shedding ability as well as enabling tyres up to 47mm in width on 650b wheels and 45mm on 700c wheels to be fitted, which certainly ticks all the boxes for mixed terrain riding.
*Rear brake hose is external on double gear systems.
A full carbon construction with a tapered fork steerer helps to stiffen up the front end for enhanced steering control while also damping vibration from rough surfaces for a bump smoothing ride.
Flat-mount disc brakes provide superior stopping power and control over variable terrain and in mixed conditions.
Compatibility with 650b, 700c or 29er wheels opens up a vast choice of tyre options and allows the setup to be tailored to suit a wide array of terrains, surfaces and riding styles.
You decide the design, we create the bike. Be bold and bright or stealthy as you like. With millions of combinations, you can make a bike unique to you.

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.
