The front of the new Ritchey Switch stem features the proven Ritchey C220 handlebar clamp, which is found on many Ritchey stems, but we have increased its width for added stiffness. Furthermore, everything else about this innovative stem is new and designed to allow the cables to discreetly disappear into the headset and frame. Up to four cables, such as for the rear brake, shifter, or electronics, are housed in a unique, enclosed channel at the bottom of the stem, which can then be effortlessly integrated into the Ritchey Logic-E 1.5" headset – ensuring the cables are neatly routed within the frame. The Ritchey Switch stem comes with a matching compression cap.
