First proven on the Ritchey TRAIL stem, the C220 handlebar clamp design creates a more secure interface by wrapping a full 220 degrees over the handlebar. Bolt forces are aligned with the clamp so that the stem body ‘embraces’ the handlebar, which is less prone to damaging lightweight bars. This clamp design allows for a lighter faceplate and stem body with no sacrifice in strength or stiffness. The Carbon Matrix stem body is forged 7075 aluminum with a stiffness-enhancing carbon exoskeleton which makes this 12% stiffer than the WCS alloy C220 stem. Premium quality CRMO steel bolts are used throughout.
Ritchey WCS Skyline Carbon Rail Bike Saddle (V2)Developed for both road cycling and mountain bike (MTB) disciplines, this versatile saddle is well-equipped for wherever your next ride takes you. It features a premium Ritchey synthetic cover, which makes it suitable at handling multiple changes to your riding position as well as the increased pressure from long adventures. Its shell is constructed from two materials, so riders will benefit from the flexibility and strength of its nylon properties and the stiffness and low weight of its carbon fibre build. This combination makes it perfect for tackling whatever the terrain throws at you on your travels.Versatile Saddle with Carbon Fibre RailsKeeping weight to a minimum, this model is kitted out with carbon fibre rails for a strong and dependable hold to your seatpost as you conquer every ride. Its carbon fibre rails provide an excellent strength to weight ratio, so riders can enjoy fantastic durability and strength without adding any unnecessary excess grams to their bike. Coming equipped with superlight polyurethane foam padding, it also delivers lasting comfort when taking the long road home on your road bike or exploring new trails on your mountain bike. Vector Wing DesignShape and padding are key in the comfort of a bike saddle, but also its performance. This Ritchey saddle features the patented Vector Wing, which isolates and suspends the rear saddle rail attachment points from the saddle shell, allowing saddle pressure to be distributed more evenly and naturally. Vector Wing eliminates hot spots and provides incredible comfort for long, beautiful rides on country roads and hard rides out on the trail or on the race course.Features: Cover Material: Premium Ritchey Synthetic upper Shell Material: Nylon and Carbon Fibre Rails Material: Carbon Fibre Padding Material: Superlight Polyurethane Foam Use: Road, MTB Size: 277x147mm Rails Size: 8x8.5mm Vector Wing design Weight: 184gBuy Ritchey Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
Making up about 50% of your total race time the bike portion of a triathlon is where equipment choices can make the difference between first and fifth and no other equipment choice will save you more time than a disc wheel. While traditionally-shaped disc wheels are faster than their spoked counterparts the Roval 321 Disc for disc brakes turns conventional design on its head creating the fastest wheel on the planet. Disc wheels often fall into two categories—a completely flat shape with structure coming from carbon fibre and a honeycomb-foam filling or a spoked wheel that's been faired with a carbon fibre cover. In our quest to break traditions the 321 uses a single layer of 1k carbon fibre on each side of the wheel and it all comes together at the brake track bridge. This kind of carbon fibre is rarely used in bicycle components due to its high manufacturing cost but it offers a bevy of performance benefits. This coveted carbon is much lighter than other layups like 3k and 12k and it can only be laid by the most skilled of carbon fibre craftsmen. It's complicated but the pay-out is worth it as it delivers a supple ride and one of the lightest disc wheels available. And in the real world this means that it'll spin-up quickly and reduce fatigue over the length of the course. Stiffness is often the “hot-topic” in the disc wheel world but we think it’s an interesting conversation. It's long been thought that efficient power transfer and high stiffness are directly correlated but through extensive field-testing we've determined that this isn't the case at all. In fact our initial disc was so stiff that under power it wouldn't flex with the frame and this caused brake rub. This wrongly creates the perception of a flexy wheel when really the wheel is actually too stiff. In order to solve the brake rub problem we first designed our optimal aero shape and then worked on our internal stiffness targets to fit within what we consider to be a desirable frame stiffness. And while light overall weight was a development priority our focus was aerodynamics. Through hours of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and testing in the Win Tunnel we developed a never-before-seen shape that's optimized to work with a tire for on-bike airflow. What this translates to is an all-carbon disc wheel that on the non-drive-side has a shape that's as aerodynamic as our current understanding allows and a drive-side shape that's as aerodynamic as the wheel-dish and derailleur clearance will allow for. To save every possible watt we've also added CeramicSpeed bearings and DT Swiss 240 hub internals into our hub. Each 321 Disc wheel is also 2Bliss Ready right out of the box and comes with a padded wheel bag quick-release and tubeless valve stem. Designed for the most uncompromising athletes in the world with engineering to match the 321 Disc is the world's most advanced disc wheel for your race against the clock.

Feel your bike come alive on the open road with the new Alpinist CL II featuring the lightest best-handling clincher rims we have ever made elevated with the performance of a tubeless system. The brand new Alpinist CL II now brings mountain-taming performance slightly closer to Earth with a carefully selected build designed to let riders take full advantage of the low rim and spoke mass. The Alpinist CL II utilizes the same rim as the Alpinist CLX II. They react to even the slightest increase in power with immediate acceleration and carve the purest lines in the corners yet they can also handle almost double the impact standards of every certifying body. The result is a 1375-gram tubeless wheelset with an otherworldly ride quality designed for real-world road pressures. The Alpinist CL II utilizes components curated to keep you rolling and rolling fast. The DT Swiss 350 hubs featuring their Star Ratchet drive system are reliable and easy to service while 24 DT Swiss CompRace Straightpull spokes front and rear laced to the rims with their alloy Pro Lock nipples are synonymous with reliability and can be obtained at any bike shop. The reduced rolling resistance of a tubeless setup is undeniable as are the benefits of improved handling and incredible puncture protection. It took the most extensive and demanding engineering and testing program we’ve ever undertaken. As a result of this extensive development the Alpinist CL II features a hooked rim that can handle a huge range of pressures up to 110psi and offers an easier set up and mounting experience than ever.
