Ritchey Swiss Cross Disc

The triple-butted Ritchey Logic steel offers a distinctively lively, springy ride quality that absorbs road chatter better than most aluminum frames. While it is heavier than a high-end carbon frame, it provides a level of durability and compliance that many riders find more comfortable for long days on mixed terrain.

The Swiss Cross Disc officially clears tires up to 40mm wide. This provides plenty of volume for gravel and cyclocross racing, though you should account for mud clearance if you plan on riding in particularly sloppy conditions.

While the geometry is tuned for the snappy, responsive handling required for cyclocross racing, it is versatile enough for light gravel touring. However, it lacks the extensive rack and fender mounts found on dedicated bikepacking rigs, so it is better suited for fast, minimalist adventures.

Yes, the WCS Carbon Cross Disc fork is a major upgrade for comfort. It is designed to track precisely through corners while actively dampening high-frequency road vibrations that would otherwise travel through the handlebars and fatigue your hands.

This frame is designed exclusively for modern flat-mount disc brakes. You will need to ensure your groupset components are compatible with the flat-mount standard.
