The Satyr

$ 2,250.00


The road hasn’t always been paved. In fact, there haven’t always been roads. Or paths. Or tracts. Or trails. Somewhere along the way we became less rugged, more fearful of the woods and the desert. We became serious and conservative, riding for structured training rather than fun. It’s time to balance it all out - the racing, the training, the wooded adventures.


The Satyr was a mythical forest creature known to the Romans as a woodland God (and a bit of a party animal), and it’s also the newest Ritte. The embodiment of fun and rowdiness, the Satyr was a man built atop the legs of a goat. And climb like a goat the new Satyr does. It goes down smooth too, with geometry influenced by Tom Kellogg’s years of designing frames for championship winning racers mixed with his dirt riding prowess.

Taking cues from our All-Road Phantom, the Satyr dials it up to 11. But you’d expect nothing less, this thing’s got horns! The Satyr clears a 700x43c tire to tackle tough terrain, but it turns in with an eagerness many road bikes can’t match. It’s equipped with a T47 bottom bracket and internal cable routing, to keep your cables protected through the harshest conditions. Flat mount disc brakes with thru axles front and rear keep you in control. The Enve gravel fork up front provides direct, confident steering input and comes in differing rakes to suit each frame size perfectly. The Satyr’s custom Reynolds tubeset is stiff where you need it, but tames the trail chatter in a manner that only steel can accomplish.

From the dirt roads of the Berkshires to the back country trails of the Sierra Nevadas, the Satyr has been in testing all year proving it’s capabilities. It’s the bike that truly can ride right out the front door - road to trail it gallops along happily, easily earning it’s name.

The Satyr is the wild side of your drop bar stable, just begging you to turn every ride into a party. Egging you on - “slide into that corner,” “jump those roots,” “send it down that chute.” Is it a gravel bike? You could call it that. We just call it a bike for fun (and glory).

Took the satyr out yesterday on fast roads, until the 90 degree heat got to me and I jumped over to the wooded trails and fire roads for the ride back. Hopped up some steep cobbles that are way out of my comfort zone on a road bike, and still tackled my usual ill-advised sprints in the mile before home. The satyr is a true route liberator, all with an elegance that seems out of place on a gravel bike. I've had my heart set on a steel gravel bike, but other iterations I rode were so disappointingly clunky. Not so here.

I see a lot of frowny-face on the fat-bikes and mtbs slogging over the miles of pavement it takes us to get to the crunchy stuff. Safe to say that a satyr would flip that frown upside-down.

Rider:
40 years old, 5'10", 165 pounds. Medium Satyr. Saddle height 75cm, 25+ years cycling, with lots of racing of all sorts. 1x build with 40t x 11/42
7 months quick take:
The Satyr impresses with it's seductive side: happily I roll along with the same fit and contact points I've been running on my road bike since the Clinton administration, content to tap out paved miles in absolute comfort- but any and all terrain, roads, used-to-be-roads, game trails, everything short of double black diamond mountain bike descents are in this bike's wheelhouse.

In the past, I've ridden with this bikes designer, Tom Kellog- and Tom poured every bit of his dirt road descending prowess into penning this geometry. This bike has the fit and feel of your favorite road bike, but slight geometrical tweaks(like the nice low bottom bracket height) allow my 40c WTB Venture shod Satyr to lead me down any trail I encounter while still having the right weight distribution and turn in feel to scorch paved corners at terminal velocity.
When I first got this bike I insisted that I needed to convert it to a double, because it has better manners on the road than any of the other bikes in my basement at the moment- but somehow the 1x setup has remained because the Satyr constantly coaxes me off the pavement, and I'm appreciating the extra ground clearance with the single 40t ring up front.

For people who live in areas with sandy, loose dirt roads the Satyr will be a revelation. Never have I ever ridden a bike that will remain upright and moving forward even in the deepest, finest sugar sand as long as I am able to provide ample watts. Wheel eating mud? No problem, might have to stop every once and a while to clear out the drivetrain. Jonesing to race some XC mtb someplace without huge rocks or drops? Yes. The Satyr never says no.

Salute to the Ritte crew for making a top class party machine!
