Gravel and adventure designed for real-world travel

The Ritchey Outback is a frameset conceived for travel-oriented gravel riding, bikepacking and dirt-road touring. It is a platform designed to handle mixed terrain, long days in the saddle and loaded configurations, while maintaining stability and control when conditions become demanding.

In independent reviews, the Outback is often praised for its balance between comfort and precision, its predictable handling on rough surfaces and a geometry that works equally well when fully loaded or in lighter setups. It is not an “extreme” frame, but a coherent and reliable tool for riders who cover long distances across varied terrain.

Frame: Ritchey Logic steel and durability-focused construction

The frame is built from heat-treated, triple-butted Ritchey Logic steel tubing and TIG welded to Tom Ritchey’s specifications. The EPD Coat treatment improves corrosion resistance, an important factor for riders traveling in variable weather conditions or on long, remote routes.

The tapered head tube (1-1/8" – 1-1/2") is designed for modern forks and precise handling, even with front-end loads. The 27.2 mm seatpost diameter contributes to long-distance comfort, a trait frequently highlighted in both on- and off-road reviews.

Mounting points

The frame offers a complete and practical mounting setup:

3 bottle cage mounts on the frame
Fender mounts
Rack mounts

This makes the Outback suitable for both minimalist gravel builds and more traditional, fully equipped touring setups.

Technical standards and compatibility

Bottom bracket: 68 mm, English threaded (BSA)
Drivetrain compatibility: 1x and 2x
Front derailleur mount: brazed-on
Seatpost diameter: 27.2 mm
Headset: tapered (not included)
Axles: thru-axle
Brakes: disc, flat mount

Included fork: carbon adventure fork with internal cable routing

The frameset includes the Ritchey Comp Carbon Adventure Fork, developed specifically for gravel and adventure use.

Key features:

Tapered steerer
Thru-axle compatibility
Accessory mounts on the fork legs
Flat mount disc brake compatibility
Internal cable routing through the fork

Internal cable routing is particularly appreciated by long-distance riders, as it reduces exposure to mud and external elements while contributing to a cleaner, more reliable setup over time.

Wheel and tire compatibility

The Outback supports a wide range of configurations:

700c wheels with tires up to 48 mm
650b wheels with tires up to 2.0"

This allows riders to choose a faster, more efficient 700c setup or a more stable and comfortable 650b configuration with high-volume tires, depending on terrain and load requirements.

Geometry and size selection: stability, control and predictability

The Outback’s geometry is focused on off-road stability and confident handling with load. Independent reviews consistently highlight its predictable behavior, good control on rough descents and a riding position that remains comfortable even after many hours in the saddle.

The progressive stack and reach values make it possible to fine-tune the fit for either a more performance-oriented gravel setup or a relaxed, travel-focused configuration.

If you are unsure about sizing or want to compare the geometry with a bike you already ride, we can go through the numbers together before purchase.

Intended use

The Ritchey Outback is well suited for:

Mixed-terrain gravel riding
Bikepacking
Dirt-road touring
Multi-day trips with bags and accessories

It is a platform for riders who prioritize reliability, coherent design and real-world versatility over trends or technical extremes.

Choosing the right size

According to the manufacturer, the following height ranges can be used as an initial reference:

XS: 154–160 cm
S: 157–170 cm
M: 168–178 cm
L: 175–186 cm
XL: 183–191 cm
XXL: 188–196 cm

This chart should be considered a starting point only. Height alone doesn’t define the correct size: inseam length, riding style and intended use can significantly affect the final choice.

If you’d like personalised advice, contact us with your height and inseam. We’ll get back to you within 24 hours.
