Ritchey RL1 Switch Stem - 31.8mm Clamp 60mm Black

The front of the new Ritchey RL1 Switch stem features Ritchey’s legendarily logical four-bolt handlebar clamp design seen on many Ritchey stems – it’s stiff practical and secure. Beyond that the heart of this innovative stem is designed to stealthily conceal cables into the headset and frame. Up to three cables – such as for the rear brake shifter electronic drivetrain or even dropper post - are effortlessly integrated with the Ritchey Switch System spacers and Switch headset (both sold separately) to cleanly route the hidden cables into the frame. Ritchey RL1 products are designed and built for the budget-minded cyclist looking for components to upgrade their current ride or to complete their next build - without compromising on the confidence and quality for which Ritchey products are known.

The Ritchey Switch System is an innovative integrated system designed to easily conceal internally routed cables wires and hydraulic lines from the handlebar into bicycle frames with straight 1.5" head tubes together with tapered 1-1/8" – 1.5" forks. The Switch System consists of three elements: Switch Headset Headset Spacers and Adapters (Sold Separately)
