LOS ANGELES (BRAIN) — Produced as a true monocoque frame, with no hard joints or seams, the Ritte Ace is the Los Angeles bike brand's new flagship road racing model for 2015.
The Ace is made as a single main structure using a "positive molding" process, with a hard inner mold and bladder system. This results in higher carbon compaction and more uniform wall density, Ritte says.
The frameset carries over the geometry from Ritte's Vlaanderen model with a long wheelbase for better front/rear balance. Cable routing is interchangeable between Di2 and mechanical, and the frame accepts every brand's 25c tires and many manufacturers' 28c treads.
The Ace is available in five sizes from XS to XXL in matte black, gloss white, light blue, dark blue and dark red.
MSRP: $2,700 (frameset, including carbon seatpost and seatpost clamp)
