RITCHEY Outback Frame Set

Founder Tom Ritchie rides about 10,000 miles (16,000 km) a year, most of it off-road. With over 40 years of experience in bicycle design and manufacturing crossed with experience from real-world riding, it is no wonder that Outback is an upcoming icon in the gravel world.

Updated for 2020, the new Outback is a proprietary triple-butted Ritchie Logicsteel tubing and is solidly and carefully TIG welded, with many practical and adaptable features to provide riders with the best ride possible, so much so that by the end of the ride you may find yourself intoxicated by the day's epic adventurE

Rack mounts and fender mounts keep rider and bike dry at all times, and also serve solidly to extend load-bearing capacity for longer bikepacking adventures. On the other hand, the bike offers new riding possibilities by providing clearance for both 700cx48mm and 650bx2.0in tires.

The frame is compatible with flat-mount disc calipers, and the new carbon fiber Ritchey Adventure fork with multi-purpose mounts on the legs will provide a place to store the last groceries and beer you bought at the café.

Bikepacking, road, off-road, trail, expedition touring, etC. The new Outback makes all your rides possiblE
