Ridgeback Panorama
Burrows Burgundy — Reynolds 725 Steel Touring Bike
Some bikes are made to get you from A to B. The Ridgeback Panorama is made for everyone who's already thinking about C, D, and the long way round. Whether you're riding to work through the grey drizzle of a Tuesday morning or setting out on a loaded tour along the Sustrans coast-to-coast, this is a bike that was designed with purpose, then built to last a lifetime.
The Panorama is the flagship of our Trekking range, and that status shows in every component choice. It starts with a Reynolds 725 chromoly steel frame — a material that serious tourers have trusted for decades because it absorbs road vibration, handles load gracefully, and can be repaired almost anywhere in the world. The geometry is relaxed enough for an all-day excursion, yet precise enough that the bike responds crisply when the road demands it.
Lighting on a touring bike should be something you forget about, not something you worry about. We fitted Busch & M?ller dynamo lighting front and rear — powered by the Shimano DH-3D32 dynamo hub, the Busch & Müller Briq-S T Senso headlight (60 lux, with standlight function) and Toplight 2C tail light keep you visible without ever needing a battery charge.
Gearing is handled by a full Shimano Cues 2x9-speed drivetrain — a system designed specifically for trekking and urban use, prioritising durability and ease of maintenance. The wide 46/30T chainset paired with an 11-39T cassette gives you a genuine low gear for loaded climbs on the hills of Wales, the Peak District, or further afield, whilst also being fast-enough for main-road miles in between.
Carrying capacity is addressed with an AtranVelo AVS rear rack (27kg limit) and AtranVelo Explorer front rackVittoria Randonneur 700x40c tyres are wide enough to absorb rough tarmac and bridleway sections comfortably, with a puncture protection belt that earns its keep.

Ridgeback Panorama

Ridgeback has been making bikes for all kinds of riders since 1983, and understands what an important part bikes play in the lives of many, many people in the UK. From flat bar mountain and touring bikes to comfortable commuters and children’s bikes all the way to E-Bikes, Ridgeback leads the way in making practical and fun bikes designed to fit in with your lifestyle.
From the UK’s first MTB in 1983, through the Roxy, the introduction of the Urban series in 1998, the Genesis Day 03 flat bar road bike in 2001, the Dual Track 29er and the 25th anniversary R25, Ridgeback Bikes have been helping people get out and about for 40 years now.
For the modern Ridgeback range, E-Bikes are absolutely the present and the future. Cycling isn’t always about fun or fitness, sometimes (or even most of the time) it’s an incredibly powerful tool for just getting around without using a car. For that type of urban mobility, E-Bikes are the perfect solution which is why the Ridgeback range contains multiple different models at different price points so that you have a choice no matter where you are or where you need to get to.
But that’s not to say that Ridgeback has ignored the non-E-Bike, not at all. The range still has classic, powered bikes from £400 all the way up to £1,199.99, making sure there is a choice for every rider, no matter their budget. The other fundamental is to make bikes that complement lifestyle, not hinder it. That means every Ridgeback uses quality parts to make sure that they keep going for longer and wont let you down when you need them most.
The other fundamental part of Ridgeback bikes is the kids bikes. It starts with the Scoot and Scoot XL balance bikes that are designed to teach kids the fundamentals of bike riding without throwing pedalling into the mix and goes all the way up to the almost-adult-sized Dimension 26, Ridgeback’s kids bikes are proper bikes, not toys. That means they’re made to withstand the beating that kids can inflict and come back ready for more, they wont need a trip to the bike shop every 5mins because that’s doesn’t benefit anyone.
