The Break-Away is a stainless steel road and gravel bike with a patented coupler system that allows the frame to be packed into a suitcase — ideal for travelling cyclists. The Outback is a steel gravel bike built for adventure riding, with clearance for 45mm tyres, rack and bag mounts, and geometry dialled for mixed-surface exploration. Why Choose Ritchey for Gravel and Adventure? Ritchey components — handlebars, stems, seatposts, saddles — are among the most trusted in the sport, used by professional riders from WorldTour road racing to elite gravel events.
