CONTINENTAL GRAND PRIX 5000 CLINCHER TYRES

The clincher rather than tubeless versions of these tyres is a surprise, but Ribble told us the GP5000 S TR tubeless team tyres hadn't arrived from Conti in time for the launch

MAVIC COSMIC SLR 65 WHEELS

The Mavic wheels have a 65mm rim depth and a relatively low weight of 1,550g per pair

RIBBLE ULTRA SL R HANDLEBAR

This bar, specially designed for the bike, features aero wake generators, or humps, that the rider is effectively drafting behind

FRAME

The Ultra SL R has a claimed weight of 1,050g, not the lightest, but Ribble claims this is the fastest road bike in the world thanks to groundbreaking aerodynamics

UCI Continental team Ribble-Weldtite, which now includes Tanfield brothers Harry and Charlie, gets a striking new custom paintjob that Ribble says features a Midnight Ink, Fresh Mandarin and Alpine White palette with a metallic finish.

NOVA RIDE OSP W SYSTEM

The Nova Ride derailleur cage upgrade has a carbon cage, two aluminium pulleys with 14 and 17 teeth, sealed ceramic bearings, and weighs a claimed 68g
