Ritchey Outback Frameset

The Outback sports practical and adaptable features that offer riders the ability to chase epic ride experiences beyond the end of the road and the end of the day. Rack and fender mounts help to keep things dry and expand the load-carrying capacity for longer bikepacking adventures, while clearance for 700c x 48mm or 650b x 2.0in tires opens up a whole new world of possibilities. Doubling down on the Outback’s practical performance, an all-carbon fiber Ritchey Adventure Fork with multi-purpose mounts on the legs gives you more places to stow the supplies you gather at the last café.

The Outback is painstakingly TIG-welded with proprietary triple-butted Ritchey Logic steel tubing.

Our ’24 Granite & Snow model also sports an updated one-piece truss design for flat mount brakes - providing as much stiffness and strength of previous mounts while significantly reducing chainstay weight – and stealth wire routing for semi-wireless Di2 groupsets.

Bikepacking, road, off-road, trail, expedition, you name it…the Ritchey Outback is designed to do it all.
