8/12/2023 0 Comments Ritchey breakaway mountain bike![]() ![]() But the carbon bike actually gets the newer standard of flat mount brakes front & rear meaning it is another new fork. Ritchey would typically build the disc brake bike up with mechanical calipers so you can put splitters in the brake cable as well (and there is downtube & under chainstay routing for that.)īut they have also included hose guides for routing hydraulic brakes along the top of the chainstay that work with either reusable guide clips or zip ties for one time use.Īt first it looked like the carbon Break-Away bike would share the same gravel fork as the steel Outback. For derailleur cables you can use Ritchey’s in-line cable splitters. It uses a standard 68mm threaded BB, a 27.2 seatpost, and includes a removable braze-on front derailleur mount for clean 1x or 2x drivetrains.Ĭable routing is all external to simplify packing the bike down. The Outback Break-Away is available only as a frameset for $3150/3200€ (including the soft travel case & cable splitters.) Build it up into whatever adventure bike you need. That’s also only 200g more than the Break-Away road setup, even with the move to disc brakes, thru-axles, and big clearance for 40mm tires.īreak-Away Carbon Outback frameset tech details (The large Steel bike with frame, fork & axles claims 2.17kg.) Break-Away detailsĪt a claimed 2.01kg for a large complete frameset (frame, fork & axles) it is almost the same weight as the steel bike without the couplers bonded onto the carbon toptube, seattube & mono-seatstay. They are working to update the website with the data we have. Our Ritchey contact has confirmed that the data we are showing here is the actual geo for the bike, which uses a measurably more aggressive (read: long & low) fit with slightly steeper angles and higher BB than the steel bike. Update: It seems that Ritchey has not yet updated their website with the proper geometry table. The bike gets the identical adapted gravel geometry based on the steel bike and comes in the same five size range from XS-XL. And while they don’t have a photo of the bike packed in its case yet, we do have the full details. We’ve been chasing Ritchey to get some more info on the new bike. And the Outback platform seems like a perfect starting place for that. ![]() ![]() Sure Ritchey makes a Break-Away carbon road bike…īut if I’m traveling with a bike I want the freedom to ride any surface I can encounter. Owning steel & titanium cross & mountain bikes myself with S&S couplers to achieve the same ease-of-travel goal, I always lamented the fact that it was hard to get an all-around carbon travel bike. Ritchey Break-Away Carbon Outback gravel travel bike courtesy Ritchey But while we had a chance again to get a couple of mixed-surface rides in on the steel framed Outback with Tom, they also have a newer carbon version of the do-it-all gravel adventure bike that uses Ritchey’s own downtube & seat cluster couplers to break the bike down and pack it in a suitcase for travel. WARRANTY: If purchased locally, it comes backed with a 60 day limited mechanical warranty.Ritchey almost slipped this Break-Away Outback past us, as it didn’t make it to Eurobike in person. Please note this is an approximate range and the buyer is responsible for verifying the fit before purchase. SIZING: Based on traditional sizing, it could fit someone 5'7" to 5'10".
