The Ritchey Outback is a steel-framed, carbon-forked gravel and adventure frameset designed for everything from road to bikepacking and off-road touring, with all kinds of gravel in between.

Released this morning, the updated 2020 Ritchey Outback has more mounts, revised geometry, and clearance for 650b x 2.0” tires. Find all the details, including Miles’ thoughts and plenty of photos here…
Comfortable steel frame provides a great foundation for a gravel touring rig.
Modern specs like 650b x 2.0” tire clearance, thru-axles, and multiple bottle mounts.

No front rack mounts.
Long rear end makes for a less playful ride.

Beautiful looks, confident ride and great comfort
No rack mount and only two bottles

That’s exactly what the Ritchey Outback Carbon Break-Away frameset promises, and tech writer Dave […]

The Ritchey Outback adventure bike is Tom Ritchey's latest creation. We throw a leg over the teal steel machine. Could it be the ultimate escape vehicle?
