Affordable Ritchey Kite Post Drops In, Plus SuperLogic ErgoMax, Classic Bars, Pedals Too!

Ritchey Logic has unveiled a range of new cockpit components aimed at gravel and mountain bike riders seeking quality and affordability. The highlight is the introduction of their first-ever dropper post, the WCS 1-bolt Kite, available exclusively in a 27.2mm diameter with two travel options of 70mm and 100mm. Designed to fit traditional gravel and MTB frames, the dropper post is lightweight, constructed from 7075 aluminium, and priced competitively at around $200, although it does not include a remote, which is sold separately. On the handlebar front, Ritchey has expanded its offerings with several new shapes and finishes. The premium SuperLogic ErgoMax is a mid-rise carbon drop bar designed for enhanced ergonomics and comfort, featuring a 20mm rise near the stem, a 17.5° flare on the drops, and a subtle backsweep on the tops. This bar aims to reduce hand fatigue on long rides while providing ample space for accessories, and it will be available in multiple widths later this summer. For riders seeking more budget-friendly options, the company has introduced new alloy bars including the Corralitos ergo gravel drop bar with a slight rise and wide flare, and the El Camino flat bar, which offers a dramatic 35° backsweep for a comfortable, upright riding position. Ritchey has also refreshed some of its classic bar designs with new high-polish silver finishes, adding a stylish alternative to the popular black anodised versions. The El Camino flat bar and the Corralitos drop bar will both be offered in this new Classic silver look, appealing to riders who want a blend of modern performance and vintage aesthetics. Complementing these cockpit updates are the new WCS Bigfoot alloy platform pedals, which provide a robust aluminium alternative to the existing plastic versions. These pedals feature a wide concave platform, replaceable traction pins, and durable chromoly axles, available in both black and silver finishes. The expanded range of Ritchey Logic components reflects the brand’s commitment to providing versatile, well-engineered products that cater to gravel and mountain bikers without demanding a premium price. By combining innovative design elements with practical features, Ritchey aims to enhance rider comfort and control across a variety of terrains. These new products are expected to appeal to riders looking to upgrade their bike’s cockpit with reliable and stylish components, with availability anticipated from this summer onwards.
