Our take
The 2023 Ritchey Outback Gravel Bike is a truly desirable machine for the modern gravel enthusiast. Its custom-built steel frame in the 50th Anniversary Blue Fade color looks stunning and promises that compliant ride steel is famous for. With 700C wheels and tubeless tires, it's ready for varied terrain and enhanced puncture resistance. The 11-speed drivetrain paired with hydraulic disc brakes means reliable shifting and powerful, consistent stopping in all conditions. While it lacks suspension, that's common for many gravel bikes, keeping the ride direct. At $2,600.00, it's a premium, ready-to-ride gravel bike.
