OVER 30 YEARS OF SPONSORSHIP
& UNRIVALED PERFORMANCE
We believe state of the art engineering is only useful when it delivers real
benefit. Flashy products or the implementation of expensive materials
or manufacturing have never been our end goal. That’s why “Logic” has
always been the very best word to distinguish Tom’s sophisticated yet
sensible approach to component design.
Ritchey sponsored teams enjoyed another stellar year. In Europe, our
association with Saunier-Duval/Prodir, Gerolsteiner and Lampre yielded
impressive race results, including a whopping 7 stage wins at the
Giro d’Italia, 2 stage wins at the Tour de France, as well as victories
and podiums in the Spring Classics. Legendary MTB racer Thomas
Frischknecht again led his Swisspower team to a strong showing on
the World Cup Mountain Bike circuit this season, and as he continues
to defy the perceived limits of age and time, he is also passing his torch
on to young guns guns Nino Schurter and Florian Vogel — both podium
threats at any World Cup they line up for. Thomas and Tom have been
colleagues and friends for many years, and we still look to Thomas and
his entire team for invaluable product development feedback. In the US,

WCS CARBON EVOLUTION SL ™
LOGIC, LOGIC II & CLASSIC
Multiple hand positions are critical to a good road bar. Modifying one position often affects the others, so different models are
necessary to satisfy the individual needs of different riders. The R75 bend of our Classic bars offers a more gradual transition curve
from tops to levers, providing lots of forearm clearance for sprinters and track racers. Classic bars also feature traditional, round
drops. Ritchey’s R-50 Logic bend tightens the angle from tops to levers, creating 30% more space on the tops, and also features a
flat section in the drops for enhanced ergonomics and braking. The R65 bend of our new Logic II series represents a middle ground
between Logic and Classic. Logic II also features specific reach and drop characteristics for each width, providing an ideal shape
for riders of all sizes.
