New for 2015, the Ace takes over as the flagship of Ritte’s road racing lineup. Utilizing the most state-of-the-art construction techniques and materials, the Ace takes power transfer and responsiveness to an even higher level. So you can make your own luck.
The Ace is made with true monocoque construction. Unlike most framesets, which are made in three or more separately molded pieces, the Ace is made as one main structure, with no hard joints or seams. Also, the Ace utilizes the most up-to-date molding process with an hard inner mold and bladder system, resulting in higher carbon compaction and more uniform wall density. Toray T700/T1000 carbon fiber is used throughout – the highest possible grade of carbon that can be practically used on a road frame.
The Ace also offers interchangeable Di2 and mechanical cable routing. Both are cleaner looking than their previous bikes and easier to route with specially designed inserts.
Keeping with current trends, the Ace can accept the biggest possible tires that a standard brake caliper can clear. Every brand’s 25c tire and many 28c models can fit.
The Ace uses the same well-tested, much-loved geometry from the Vlaanderen for confident, precise handling and stable descending.
