Description

The front of the new Ritchey RL1 Switch stem features Ritchey’s legendarily logical four-bolt handlebar clamp design seen on many Ritchey stems – it’s stiff, practical, and secure. Beyond that, the heart of this innovative stem is designed to stealthily conceal cables into the headset and frame. Up to three cables – such as for the rear brake, shifter, electronic drivetrain or even dropper post – are effortlessly integrated with the Ritchey Switch System spacers and Switch headset (both sold separately) to cleanly route the hidden cables into the frame. Ritchey RL1 products are designed and built for the budget-minded cyclist looking for components to upgrade their current ride or to complete their next build – without compromising on the confidence and quality for which Ritchey products are known.
About the Ritchey Switch System
The Ritchey Switch System is an innovative integrated system designed to easily conceal internally routed cables, wires, and hydraulic lines from the handlebar into bicycle frames with straight 1.5´´ head tubes together with tapered 1-1/8´´ – 1.5´´ forks. The Switch System consists of three elements:
– Switch Headset
– Switch Headset Spacers
– Switch Adapters
Features:
3D Net Shape Forging:
– Process that forces the material grain to follow the product shape for greater structural strength.
C220 clamp:
– 220º clamping surface area offers a lighter faceplate and stem body with no sacrifice in strength or stiffness.
4-Axis Clamp:
– Simple security in this faceplate design. Four is better than two.
4-Axis-44 Clamp:
– Wider bolt spacing increases stiffness and security without the need for a wider stem body.
C260 clamp:
– 260º clamping surface area around the handlebar offers an almost seamless integration while reducing faceplate load.
Hinge Clamp:
– With two rear-facing bolts, the hinged clamp adds aerodynamic benefits and a sleek aesthetic.
2-bolt fix:
– Limitless adjustability for your perfect stem height without sacrificing strength.
Accessory mount:
– Unique adjustable-width stem mounts to free up bar space for lights or on-board cameras.
