Outback Frameset
“Stable and easy to manage for everything from asphalt to gravel to dirt singletrack.”
- BikeRumor
“...offers a smooth ride that lets you focus on your adventure and scenery.”
“The Outback offers a ride that's not too harsh and not too flexible for the sort of multi-surface rides it's likely to be used on.”
PRODUCT DETAILS
A number of innovations and improvements to bicycle design came together to make the Outback a capable adventure companion. Road, off-road, trail, expedition, you name it, the Outback can do it all.
It starts with a fork that can comfortably clear a 700x40c tire with a surprisingly short axle-to-crown that improves the handling of the bike by lowering the front end's center of gravity. From there, choice decisions were made on the location and butting profile of time-tested Ritchey Logic steel tubing to create a resilient ride feel over the harshest terrain. Of course, Ritchey frames retain their signature 27.2 seatpost spec and straight steerer so as to not overbuild a bike in the name of stiffness, because who needs that when there are miles of trail yet to explore?
Slap a set of thru-axle Zeta Discs with your favorite tread on the Outback and you are ready to roll on a bike that's built to take on any and everything that stands in its way.
