Ready for adventure, this solid model uses a 6061 alloy body construction which makes it perfect for tackling all the challenges that come with a long day in the saddle. Richey has also gone the distance with this version by giving it a bead blasted finish which further protects it against the elements and road-side obstacles. To top it off, its updated Comp graphics give it a stylish appearance which makes it look as awesome as it performs.
The reason for the easier installation or removal is thanks to Ritchey's unique "press-fit" handlebar clamp. This design improves the interface between the stem and handlebar making attaching the bars to your bike simpler and faster. Also, the forward-facing bolts mean fine tune adjustments are a breeze. Secure and Stable Engagement In addition to easy installation, the WCS 220's clamp design creates a stable and secure bar engagement. This, in turn, increases bar stiffness for more precise handling, sprinting and climbing. Also, the coated CrMo bolts are positioned in alignment with the clamp plate's face for a more efficient hold and reduced flex.
Equipped for adventure, this stunning version features a 3D net-forged aluminium construction which gives it unrivalled stiffness and durability. One final stand-out feature is Ritchey has also given it a bead blasted finish which adds an additional layer of robustness to this already solid road warrior. Weighing in at only 170g (approx), it is the ultimate choice of upgrade for riders who want a lightweight component at an affordable price.
Made from a super-durable 3D forged aluminium, this trail-centric stem is designed similarly to the popular C260 model, boasting a 220-degree clamp, making it suitable for use on bars with a wider bend. Compatible with 1 1/8" steerers, it fits most MTB frames and forks to provide a long-lasting and reliable hold from a relatively lightweight construction.
All set for long road journeys, this stiff component uses a 6061 T6 3D-forged aluminium construction for world-class performance. Its durable build makes it ideal for riders who like to go the extra mile as it handles all the abuse that comes with riding over unpredictable surfaces. Futhermore, its four-bolt security eliminates linear clamp stresses, so you can enjoy its unparalleled reliability and grip on every adventure.
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.
More than just a beefed-up version of our other stems – for the Trail stem we revised the patented C260 clamp to a 220-degree version that fits a wider variety of riser bar bends and still packs a dramatic increase in stiffness and strength over competitor's designs.
