The Ritchey P-29er was built by one of the godfathers of mountain biking, Tom Ritchey, to offer customers similar experiences he has enjoyed when riding off-road. This steel-framed cross-country bike is designed for twisty singletrack and huge adventures.

Although the P-29er has been around since 2012, this iteration welcomes modern features, including internal cable routing for a dropper post and bang-up-to-date XC geometry. Those figures include a 69.5-degree head tube angle, a 74-degree seat tube angle, and a lengthy 481mm reach on a large frame. Those angles are all built into a frame constructed using Ritchey's triple-butted Ritchey Logic steel tubing with the brand's Ultra-light Forged and machined tapered head tube.

Built to accommodate a 100mm suspension fork, the P-29er can also run a rigid fork with a 500mm axle-to-crown measurement making it capable of even bigger epics out in the mountains. Ritchey says it can be equipped with its Super Compact Drop Bar and can take riders even further – including a quick rip over Tarmac.

Other modern features come in the form of boost hub spacing and the bike can fit up to 29x2.3in rubber. There are two mounts for bottles in the front triangle and it's designed to work with 1x drivetrains.
The Ritchey P-29er is available as a frame only and can be picked up for £870.
