THE GO-ANYWHERE RIG

The satyr was a mythical forest creature known to the Romans as a woodland spirit (and a bit of a party animal). 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 turns, handles and descends beautifully too, with geometry influenced by Tom Kellogg’s years of championship winning frame design mixed with his dirt riding passion and prowess.

“THERE’S NO OTHER WAY TO SAY IT – IT’S JUST A LOT OF FUN TO RIDE. THE SATYR FEELS BEAUTIFULLY PLANTED AND STABLE, ABLY ASSISTED BY THE SPRINGINESS OF THE REYNOLDS 725 TUBING. IT HAS THE UNMISTAKABLE FEEL OF HIGH-END CUSTOM STEEL, BUT WITHOUT SLAPPING ON THE ASSOCIATED PRICETAG. ”

Fancy commuter, good for probably anything.

TLDR:
Pros: Comfortable, stylish, forward-to-neutral geo for gravel, and as always, an absolute pleasure to work with the company.
Cons: Decal durability if you do not get a painted option (however I was sent spares and other colors to play with!)

Slightly more in depth:

I've quickly become a Ritte fan boy. After building up a Phantom frameset that I stumbled upon, I quickly added an Esprit to the quiver. After accepting that both bikes were great, I placed an order for a SaTir. While waiting for the SaTir, I fell out of love with my commuter and ordered a Satyr frame to replace it. And it is awesome. It makes me look forward to my 15-mile, 1,500 ft round trip commute.

I have it built up with flat bars and 650b i9 wheels. Shifting duties are GX AXS shifter to Apex AXS drivetrain. T47 bottom bracket is just about all I accept these days. It's just so quiet, forever, and easy to maintain. To the cockpit, my shifter is accompanied by Sram S300 hydro brakes and a bar mounted RouteWerks bag.

All told, with full bottle, folding lock, flat kit, front bag, pedals, lights, etc. my XL is still only 26 lbs with heavy 2" tires. You could build this up easily sub 20, even in an XL.

Furthmore the ENVE adv fork is a lovely addition and has me considering adding a dynamo light considering the fork has the internal routing for it.

My current flat bars have 0 rise so I added a bit of the excess material from the extra decals I was sent to provide some protection to the frame. First over rotation of the bars sliced right through it. A. the paint underneath was fine and B. that isn't really the purpose of the decal. That said I will just be cognizant of its thinness moving forward.

Wrapping up, this company does a really good job. I love their designs, ride quality, and service. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

First steel bike in 30 years

After taking my new Ritte Satyr out of the box, I am even more impressed with the bike. The ride quality is amazing with a very neutral and controlled feel on the 12 mile gravel loop near my house. Elijah's on-line virtual fit is spot on with no adjustments needed. I have recommended this bike to others and could not be more satisfied with this ride. Thank you Elijah and the team at Ritte!!

Equally at home on the road, fire road, and technical singletrack

The new Satyr is fantastic. The frame and fork geometry and materials
result in superb handling and feel, equally at home on the road, fire
road, and technical singletrack. The frame balances weight against
performance perfectly: solid enough to be smooth, forgiving, and robust on
the tough strails but sufficiently agile and easy to accelerate. The paint
job is glorious, a rare and unique combination of colors with a striking
depth to that mysterious green has resulted in a lot of comments on the
roads and trails. A much needed and refreshing remedy to the
all-matte/all-black bicycles so popular today! The new Othr carbon wheels
are impressively light, aerodynamic on the roads but easy to accelerate
and steer on tight trails, and have handled the offroad punishment with
aplomb.

GOAT!

I love this gravel steed! I’ve ridden it on gravel roads (and single track) all over the US and Europe, and it’s fantastic. I even use it to commute to work a few times a week (a 30 miles round trip) and it’s perfect for dodging Napoli traffic and hopping curbs when things get spicy. Worth it, get it.

Superb handling even in XS

I've come back to Ritte after 10 years. When they started, I ordered one of the zeroth (?) generation made-in-USA Snobs. Since then, that frame didn't make it, gravel became a thing, and Elijah gave a discount on a new frame.

Kellogg's design is really something. I am a small person, and the XS size's handling is arguably on par, if not better, than my custom geometry bike. Some of it has to do with the flip chip in the Enve fork: the extra rake really helps for a small frame. No toe overlap on an XS with 700c and 40mm tires, imagine that! And handling isn't sluggish! The whole package is comfortable and handles superbly.

The paint job has the Ritte panache, and I'll be sad it accumulates chips and scrapes from all the adventure rides.

Also to echo what other reviewers say: Elijah deserves your business for the customer support alone. He specced out a build kit, helped me with geometry eyeballing, provided detailed build tips around internal routing. All in all just seems like a really good dude.
