Ribble (UK) – An unbeatable, modern and lightweight, women’s carbon road bike.

The Sportiva Carbon is Ribble flagship women’s road bike that offers an excellent, comfortable position for riding that’s perfect for sportives and rides over all distances. Designed with female specific geometry, a shorter top tube and importantly a low standover height give the rider greater confidence and control.

With a lightweight full carbon frame this bike has an excellent strength to weight ratio and with the carbon fibre bladed fork road buzz transferred into your hands and body is reduced making this a more comfortable ride. The Sportiva Carbon has been designed to be ridden over short or long distances, either on sportive events and club runs.



The frameset is constructed using a blend of Toray T700 and T800 carbon to ensure optimal stiffness where required without sacrificing any vertical compliance (harshness) associated with many composite framesets in the market. The Sportiva Carbon’s short wheelbase responds excellent through fast corners and short burst of speed.



Being mechanical and electronic compatible, the Sportiva Carbon is a thoroughly modern bike with up-to-the-minute features such as: a tapered head tube, internal cable routing; a 27.2mm seat post for more comfort; and clearance for wider 25mm tyres providing even more comfort.
