Ritchey Montebello Bicycles Frames

The Ritchey Montebello frameset adds specialized features and design touches explicitly aimed at riders who require a machine for ultra-endurance and longer than long-distance rides. This frameset represents a significant strategic positioning in the touring market, built on a premium foundation of proprietary triple-butted Logic steel tubing. The Montebello provides an ideal blend of classic ride feel, superior comfort, and modern engineering innovation necessary for sustained, multi-day exploration.

✅ Core Architecture and Integrated Utility

The Montebello is engineered for stability and load-carrying capacity, featuring specialized geometry and comprehensive integrated utility features:

Geometry Optimization: Features increased stack height, a longer wheelbase, and a lower bottom bracket than its sibling, the Road Logic, delivering superior stability and comfort over extended riding periods.
Brevet Carbon Fork: Includes the new Ritchey WCS Carbon Brevet Fork with a $1 - 1/8 th$ straight steerer, providing a precise yet forgiving ride experience.
Advanced Clearance: Offers clearance for $700c \times 40 c$ tires without a fender, or $700c \times 36 c$ with a fender, ensuring versatility for rough roads.
Power Management: Features internal dynamo routing in the fork, a new addition for Ritchey, allowing adventurers to easily manage power for lights and charging after dark.
Load-Carrying Versatility: Equipped with dedicated mounts for maximum operational adaptability:
- Rack and fender mounts on the rear.
- Special mounting options on the fork legs for either a porteur or lowrider rack.
- Threaded drilling in the fork crown for attaching lights.
Modern Standards: Utilizes $12 mm$ thru-axles front and rear for improved stiffness and security.
Drivetrain Flexibility: Supports external cable routing with dedicated routing options for $Di2$ $12$ speed electronic shifting.
Included Headset: Comes complete with a $WCS$ headset ( $IS 42/ 28.6$ upper | $IS 42/ 30$ lower).
