Ritte

US-based, Belgian-inspired brand Ritte always produce eye-catching bikes and this new ACE is no different.

We first spotted Ritte’s new flagship chassis at the Core Bike Show last month but that’s a trade-only affair. The good news is that the machine pictured above will be on the Ritte stand in London.

To recap, the ACE replaces the Vlaanderen in the Ritte range and comes in with a claimed weight of 980g. It’s made from a mix of T700 and T1000 carbon fibre, which helps drops the frame weight over the Vlaanderen, while reportedly improving the level of stiffness.

It has room for 25mm tyres (though Ritte will say it can take 28mm, depending on the model of tyre) and will be available in three colours, with matte black and gloss white options alongside the very nice light blue pictured here. Yours for £1,999.99.
