Not every rider wants to be locked into the aggressive position of drop bars. Some prefer the confidence and control of a flat-bar setup, without sacrificing the performance and versatility of a high-quality frame. That’s exactly why we created SPORTFIT – a flat-bar option of our most popular models.
What is SPORTFIT?
The ride and capability of our best-selling bikes, with a more upright, relaxed, and confident position.
Our SPORTFIT models are more advanced than a traditional hybrid — flat-bar bikes that give you greater control and put you in charge, whether you’re commuting, exploring, or heading off the beaten track.
With SPORTFIT you get:
- A more upright and relaxed riding position.
- Greater stability and control, especially at lower speeds or on mixed terrain.
- The same versatility, tyre clearance, and frame technology as their drop-bar counterparts.
In short, SPORTFIT delivers confidence, comfort, and adaptability - without losing the DNA of a performance bike.
Who is SPORTFIT made for?
Commuters Who Want More
For riders who use their bike to get to work but don’t want to feel limited by it. The SPORTFIT geometry balances efficiency with comfort, making it fast enough to cover ground quickly while keeping your back and shoulders happy on the daily ride. Wide tyre clearance and mounting points add practicality for racks, mudguards, and lights.
Weekend Road Riders
Not chasing race results but still chasing speed? SPORTFIT bikes give you the performance edge of modern frame design with a less aggressive position. Perfect for those weekend café spins, club rides, or longer days out where comfort matters just as much as pace.
Casual Gravel Explorers
If you like mixing in towpaths, bridleways, and gravel trails without going full “bikepacking expedition,” SPORTFIT is built for it. Bigger tyre clearance and stable handling give you the confidence to go beyond the tarmac and explore at your own pace.
Fitness Riders
Cyclists who ride for fitness, not competition. SPORTFIT offers the efficiency to rack up the miles, the comfort to keep going longer, and the adaptability to keep things fresh - whether it’s a structured training ride, a spontaneous loop, or just a daily spin.
The SPORTFIT range is about balance. It’s not about chasing podiums or packing for weeks away - it’s about giving you the confidence and comfort to enjoy every ride, whether it’s the weekday commute, a weekend spin, or a gravel detour.
With so many styles to choose from, finding your perfect ride can feel like a journey in itself. Whether you're chasing speed on the tarmac, venturing off-road, or seeking a versatile all-rounder, Ribble has a flat-bar bike to match your riding style. Explore the range.
