Description
We warmly welcome the legendary Ascent to the Ritchey line. Inspired by life's experiences, the new Ritchey Ascent invites you to pursue your own life experiences on uncharted passes, winding roads and endless trails. The adventurous soul of the original Ascent is retained, while enhancing its adaptability with modern features and in-demand details.
Tom Ritchey enjoys all kinds of biking adventures - especially dirt - seeking out winding dirt roads, riding gravel trails and taking on flowing singletrack. He designed this latest version of the Ascent as a versatile adventure bike so thatautres can share the same adventurous thrill while enjoying the famous riding experience of Ritchey.
The new Ascent is more adaptable than ever. The frame is torch-welded with heat-treated, triple-butted Ritchey Logic steel tubing. It features rack and fender mounts and a multi-purpose mount under the down tube, while a new steel fork Ritchey offers multi-purpose mounts, for racks, fenders and a dynamo light.autres Notable features of the new Ritchey Ascent include post-mount brake compatibility, 148mm spacing and an external seat clamp.
Add a mountain bike bar and 27.5" wheels for more trail-oriented adventures. You can also use it with grab bars and 29" wheels for longer road rides. Whatever your choice, the riding possibilities are endless on the new Ritchey Ascent.
