Introducing the Ritchey Outback Frameset: Explore Beyond the Horizon
The Ritchey Outback frameset is your ultimate companion for chasing epic ride experiences beyond the end of the road and the end of the day. This legendary gravel and bikepacking platform combines timeless design with practical, adaptable features, inviting riders to explore new horizons on any terrain. From bikepacking expeditions to spirited off-road adventures, the Outback is meticulously designed to do it all.
At its heart, the Outback is painstakingly TIG-welded with proprietary triple-butted Ritchey Logic steel tubing, delivering that signature lively and comfortable Ritchey ride quality. The all-carbon fibre Ritchey Adventure Fork complements this with lightweight performance and abundant multi-purpose mounts for extra gear. The latest '24 Granite & Snow model further refines performance with an updated one-piece truss design for flat mount brakes, providing superior stiffness while reducing chainstay weight, and stealth wire routing for semi-wireless Di2 groupsets.
With clearance for 700c x 48mm or 650b x 2.0in tires, extensive mounting options, and an unwavering spirit, the Ritchey Outback is ready for any adventure you can imagine.
The Ritchey Outback frameset is more than just a bike; it's a meticulously crafted tool for exploration, built to carry you confidently through every mile of your next great adventure.
