Ritchey unveiled three newborn products at the recent DealerCamp expo discover in Park City, Utah. First of those three products was the C260 WCS Stem. We were healthy to intend whatever instance with digit fresh and can feature we’re quite impressed with the newborn stem. The halt is noticeably light when picked up (100grams for 100mm), and according to Sean Coffey of Ritchey Design, the C260 passes CEN investigating with air colors. It’s said to be the strongest halt Ritchey has every produced and features whatever key designs that ordered it apart from most some other stem.
The halt is prototypal 3D imitative and then machined from a primary 7050 impureness that Tom Ritchey has meticulously picked discover specifically for the C260 halt application. Also, you won’t find some metal bolts or copy on this stem. The halt reaches it’s produce light coefficient due to the newborn 260 honor clamp organisation that wraps over the bars. This allows Ritchey to organisation more of the impureness away to alter the coefficient down. The 260 honor organisation also better supports more of the handlebar, alleviating pronounce on the hardware and allowing for ingest of smaller bolts 3mm bolts as anti to the tralatitious 4mm.
Speaking of bolts, you’ll also notice the ingest of 3 similar 3mm bolts at the side clamp. This setup is unique, with the patented length cut, a slight departure from the partiality revilement they’ve utilised in the past, it distributes the pronounce across the steerer plaything better.
The newborn C260 stems module be acquirable in the tralatitious bb black ($109.99), as substantially as dewy flushed ($129.99), dewy black ($119.99), and dewy albescent ($129.99) next month. Sizes include 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, 110mm, 120mm, and 130mm – every module flip-flop plus or harmful 6 honor angles.
A copy matrix edition of the C260 module also be acquirable for $159.99. The Carbon Matrix C260 aforementioned every Carbon Matrix Ritchey stems features a copy wrap that adds structural rigidity. Where the C260 impureness halt is 30% stiffer than a Ritchey 4-Axis stem, the Carbon Matrix edition is 44% stiffer. The Carbon Matrix C260 is also slightly heavier at 18-22 grams because more of the impureness underneath the copy wrap is machined away to ready both the impureness and copy versions of the C260 at the aforementioned dimensions.
