Our take
The Ritchey Ascent Disc Adventure Frameset strikes a fantastic balance for an all-around adventure machine. The TIG-welded steel construction provides that classic ride quality – compliant on rough roads and sturdy enough for off-road excursions, and it's built to last. The Medium frame size and 27.5-inch wheel compatibility make it maneuverable and capable, perfect for varied terrain. I particularly appreciate the mention of rack mounts, which is crucial for bikepacking or utility. At 15.85 pounds for the frameset, it's on the heavier side compared to lighter alloys or carbon, but for a durable, versatile adventure bike that can take a beating, it’s a fair compromise.
