Ribble Cycles have unveiled the new team bike for Ribble Weldtite Pro Cycling (RWPC).
Ribble Weldtite Pro Cycling will be racing on Ribble's ground-breaking Ultra SL R Team Edition across the 2022 season, with a new custom colour design in Midnight Ink, Fresh Mandarin and Alpine White with metallic finish.
Claimed by Ribble to be the fastest bike in the pro peloton, the Ultra SL R is kitted out with the brand's distinctive Ribble Ultra handlebars, Shimano Ultegra Di2 groupset, Mavic SL R 65 / SL R 45 wheels and Continental GP5000 tyres.
Custom upgrades include Nova Ride OSPW oversize jockey wheels, and Ribble say the bike weighs in at 7.8kg.
The Ribble Weldtite Pro Cycling team were presented with their new race machines at Ribble's flagship showroom in Clitheroe before flying out to Calpe for pre-season training.
The team welcomes in eight new faces for 2022, including the Tanfield brothers Harry and Charlie who will be looking to achieve success in Ribble Weldtite colours, to add to their already lengthy list of accomplishments.
RWPC will be racing on Ribble's Ultra SL R, Endurance SL R and Ultra TT models throughout the 2022 season starting with the UCI Europe Tour at Dorpenomloop Rucphen (1.2) in the Netherlands on 13th March.
"The team had me on the edge of my seat in 2021 with some amazing performances in the UK and abroad - and 2022 is set to be an even more exciting year," says Andy Smallwood, Ribble Cycles CEO.
"The combination of Ribble's R&D and a stronger than ever rider line up sees our Ultra SL R being raced by the leading British based team on the world stage.
"Our involvement with RWPC allows us to gain essential product feedback and insights into real world racing conditions and will inform our R&D as we continue to develop and innovate in the creation of world-class racing machines. The distinctive aerodynamically optimised lines and new colourway will help the team really standout from the pro peloton."
The Ribble Ultra SL R is the result of an extensive R&D project carried out by Ribble giving riders a proven performance advantage.
Team edition colourways will be available on select models including the Ultra SL, Ultra SLR, Ultra Tri, and across the Endurance models.
