Jenson USA Exclusive: 2017 RITTE ACE ETAP BIKE

STEP ON IT

RITTE'S Ace bike is just one of those bikes that never fails to make a lasting impression on those who ride it. With a true monocoque design the Ace is made as one solid main structure, in an effort to eliminate hard joints and seams through the tubes and joints. This creates a more rigid frame that transfers power with outstanding efficiency. The RITTE positive molding process utilizes the most advanced techniques, creating a hard inner mold and bladder system, and eventually resulting in higher carbon compaction and more uniform wall density.

Using tuned and tested geometry, the Ace creates precise and responsive positioning for the rider. Using a slightly longer wheelbase and better front and rear balance, the rider feels centered and the attack position allows for super-fast acceleration. With cleaner cable routing, the Ace also features excellent aerodynamics, and is wide enough to accommodate tires larger than 25c. With a lifetime warranty, you know this bike is made with quality that RITTE stands behind.

Using the SRAM's outstanding new eTap wireless electronic shifting group, you know that this bike will give you super precise and responsive shifting. The front derailleur cage rotates to maintain a consistent angular relationship with the chain, eliminating shifter trim. Other excellent features include advanced power management, mechatrionics created to create the most intuitive and consistent shifting available, the eTap kit will provide a shifting experience unlike any other. The Zipp cockpit puts you in the perfect attack position, and the Fabric Scoop Shallow Elite Saddle provides hours of comfort on the road. Mavic Ksyrium Wheels and Yksium Tires maintain a super low rotating weight and excellent grip in a wide variety of conditions. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and lay foot to pedal.

REVIEWS

PELETON IMPRESSIONS: RITTE ACE - "Two things scream at you the moment you get on the Ritte Ace. The power transfer is ungodly. Stamp on the pedals-from a standstill, from 17 miles per hour, or from 30 mph-and the bike goes like a stabbed rat, visceral acceleration, in and out of the saddle. No twisting head tube, no sloppy rear end. A small rider looking for instant acceleration to launch an attack on a 10-percent grade will be equally impressed." - Tim Schamber, Peleton Magazine
