![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Over 40 Years Of Sponsorship & Unrivaled Performance If a bicycle or component can be successfully raced at the highest levels of the sport, there’s no doubt those bikes and parts will perform nobly during more mortal cycling pursuits.Thus, Ritchey has a rich heritage of supporting riders who have won world championships, Olympic medals, national championships, Tour de France stages, cyclocross championships and more. By the time you put it on your bike, it has passed a global testing and approval process second to none. Once a product clears machine testing, prototype samples endure rigorous use by amateur and professional riders alike, including our sponsored athletes around the world. This outside authentication keeps us honest and ensures product releases meet the highest standards. In 2006, we aligned ourselves with a respected German test lab in order to verify our own testing results. We apply the same stringent standards to impact testing, meaning that before a proposed design finds its way onto a tester’s bike, it has already been proven structurally – and then some. Starting with fatigue cycle testing, we strive for at least 2x the standard mandated by CEN (the European Committee which determines minimum safety standards for bicycles and components sold in Europe). Over 40 Years Of Testing & Validation Drawings and finite element analysis are great tools, but we are always eager to prove our new designs in the real world. ![]()
