Esprit Level One - Red / Dura Ace
THE RACE BIKE FOR EVERYDAY
Built to become a legend, the Ritte Esprit puts an end to compromise. It’s the right bike for the fastest group ride and the biggest day in the mountains, for the coffee ride turned town-line sprint, from fresh pave to cobbles and everything in between. The Esprit is designed to excel on your road ride—whatever it may be.
SUPER LIGHT. FAST AS HELL.
But grams aren’t the full story. Being in the sweet spot is - light, with all the ride characteristics that make a bike fun to ride. We built the Esprit to be light where it counts - quick on its feet, and efficient on climbs. Yet stiff where it matters - sudden sprints, precise and unshakeable handling.
The Esprit frame weighs in under 800g in a size Medium. It’s light, of course - but more importantly, it’s confidence-inspiring, dependable, and has a smooth ride that’s all too rare in fast road bikes. It’s easy to go too light or too heavy, but the Esprit is right in the sweet spot.
- Optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio
- Stable and agile geometry
- Hi-modulus carbon where counts
CONFIDENT. COMPOSED. CONSISTENT.
From aggressive turn in to split-second line changes, the Esprit is effortless. It goes where you want it to go, no convincing or cajoling required. The Esprit lets you ride at your best. A ride where the bike disappears beneath you is easier said than done, so we sweated the small stuff. We considered the details and made the investments that few will tackle.
Every frame size gets its own distinct geometry and construction. With details like size-specific chainstay lengths and size-specific fork offsets, we’ve made sure that regardless of which size fits you best, the Esprit’s confident and composed handling is consistent for you.
- Tom Kellogg designed rider-first geometry
- No compromises in handling across sizes
- Variable fork offsets
COMFORT FROM THE GROUND UP
The Esprit is efficient, quick, and comfortable. It glides effortlessly in a way that we’ve always been told carbon can’t do. From a long out-of-the-saddle climb to a sprint to roughed-up corners the Esprit is smooth.
Transmitting power effectively and isolating road noise from the rider’s body aren’t easy tasks. We spent countless hours iterating the layup, and the Esprit consists of hundreds of pieces of precisely modeled and cut unidirectional carbon fiber sheets. It’s why we’re proud to leave one of our colorways completely raw, with the layup visible.
This is what makes the Esprit a race bike for every day. It’s got the speed, confidence, and efficiency you expect from a carbon racer but it has the poise and all-day comfort we all dreamt of.
- Blend of high modulus and intermediate modulus carbon from Toray Japan
- Carbon layup is specific to frame size
