FEATURED IN THE PRESS

“The Esprit changed my perceptions of what I want and expect in a road bicycle for 2024—and probably for the next several years. I think about the Esprit almost every time I pedal a different bike on the road. So many of the things that annoy me about other road bikes, Ritte gets right with the Esprit.”...“Now it’s time for others to hear about and appreciate the Esprit. But don’t just hum along to this tune, scream about it at the top of your lungs like no one is listening and dance to it like no one is watching. Race bike fit and geometry with endurance bike comfort and versatility is the soundtrack to the summer of 2024. Throw in service and attention to detail unmatched by almost any other mid- or large-sized bike brand and Ritte has a smash hit.”

I’ll be honest: there’s a heck of a lot to like about this thing.As you might guess given the frame’s proportions, the Esprit is plenty efficient in terms of how well it turns pedaling efforts into speed. It squirts forward with little delay when you apply the power, and there’s a general eagerness to how it responds to either pedaling or steering inputs.  Climbing on the Esprit is quite enjoyable as a result – particularly when out of the saddle – as is sprinting. More surprising, however, is the overall comfort level. Even as compared to other bikes I’ve ridden with similar tire-and-wheel setups, the Esprit positively glides over ugly tarmac, smoothing over small imperfections as if it was one of those asphalt trucks laying down a fresh layer of tar. It effectively damps smaller vibrations, but still has enough flex in reserve to take the sting out of bigger impacts, too.

SUPER LIGHT. FAST AS HELL.

We built the Esprit to be light where it counts - quick on its feet, efficient on climbs. Yet stiff where it matters - sudden sprints, precise and unshakeable handling.The Esprit frame weighs in under 850g 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.


  • Optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio
  • Stable and agile geometry
  • Hi-modulus carbon where it counts

CONFIDENT. COMPOSED. CONSISTENT.

Every frame size gets its own distinct geometry and construction. With details like variable fork offsets, chainstay lengths, and bottom bracket drop per size. 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
