Ritchey Stem Stem RL1

The front of the new Ritchey RL1 Switch stem features the legendary and logical design of the four-bolt handlebar mounting system from Ritchey, which is found on many Ritchey stems - it's rigid, practical, and secure. Beyond that, the core of this innovative stem is designed to discreetly conceal cables within the headset and frame. Up to three cables - like for the rear brake, derailleur, electronic groupset, or even a dropper seat post - can easily integrate with the Ritchey Switch system spacers and the Switch headset (both sold separately) to neatly route hidden cables through the frame. The Ritchey RL1 products are designed and manufactured for budget-conscious cyclists looking for components to enhance their current bike or to complete their next build - without compromising the trust and quality that Ritchey products are known for.
