Ritchey Breakaway Road

Ritchey travel bike

Take the legendary design, great handling and super comfort of a hand-built Ritchey bicycle. Add a revolutionary coupling system that allows you to pack it and travel around the world with ease. The result is the ultimate travel bike: The Ritchey Break-Away.  A full size bike in a case that measures a scant 9″ x 26″ x 29″!

The Break-Away bike disassembles and assembles in minutes and comes complete with a travel bag. Ritchey custom steel and carbon fiber tubesets and the patented compression coupling system are the keys to this design. The frame is securely joined at the seatpost in two places and on the downtube. The coupler clamps unobtrusively around small flanges on the downtube. While this system is as secure as systems much larger it adds less than 100 grams.

Have a tired old road bike gathering dust in the garage? The Ritchey Breakaway is one of the few framesets available these day ready to utilize standard rim brakes and/or quick-release wheels! You can use the parts off of your old bike if you like!

All packed up and ready to roll

It’s a bit of a puzzle, but it all fits.

Simple seat clamps hold the frame together

Ritchey Break-Away frames are available in custom heat treated cromoly tubing and carbon fiber. Frame sets are available in road or gravel/touring frame styles in a broad range of sizes. Purchase as a complete bike or as a frameset with carbon fork, headset, cable couplers & deluxe travel case.
