Ritchey:
the legend returns. You asked – ritchey listened. Back by popular demand, the ritchey p-29er makes its triumphant return to the trails.
A modern manifestation of tom ritchey’s deep mountain biking heritage, the p-29er is designed for fast, technical cross-country singletrack. Built from ritchey’s proprietary triple-butted logic steel and featuring progressive XC geometry, it delivers a perfectly balanced ride—responsive and snappy, yet comfortable and composed.
From roots and rocks to endless ribbons of singletrack, the p-29er is a celebration of everything great about mountain biking. With boost spacing, stealth dropper routing, and compatibility with 100mm forks, it’s a forward-thinking frame with old-school soul.
