Our take
The Ritchey Breakaway Cross Travel Bike is a really unique offering for cyclists who hate leaving their best bike at home. The 'Breakaway' feature for easy travel is a standout, making it incredibly practical for flying or multi-modal trips. The steel frame is a classic choice for cyclocross, offering that coveted compliant ride quality which helps absorb bumps and provides a comfortable experience over varied surfaces, especially beneficial for a travel bike where you might not know the roads. The 700C wheels are standard for cyclocross, ensuring good tire options. However, as a dedicated cyclocross bike, it's a specific investment, and the large frame size means it's not for everyone. It's an excellent solution for the adventure cyclist who values ride quality and portability.
