Septimer Break-Away Carbon Frameset

The Ritchey Septimer Break-Away Carbon Frameset is an all-road carbon travel frameset built for riders who want one bike to cover fast pavement, broken backroads, and dirt connectors—without committing to a dedicated “road-only” or “gravel-only” platform. With clearance for up to 700 x 48c tires (tire/rim dependent) and Ritchey’s patented Break-Away couplers, it packs down into its included travel case for airline-friendly transport, then reassembles quickly at the destination for a proper ride feel, not a compromise build.

Built to travel, designed to ride like a real all-road bike

• Patented Break-Away carbon construction - Stainless steel joints and the included downtube hinge clamp deliver a packable frameset without giving up the feel and efficiency riders expect from a carbon platform
• Included travel-ready frameset kit - Ships with WCS headset, thru-axles, downtube hinge clamp, and a dedicated Break-Away travel case for a complete start-to-build package
• 700c x 48c tire clearance - Room for high-volume tires expands comfort and traction for mixed surfaces and rough pavement (clearance varies by tire/rim manufacturer)
• External cable routing (hydraulic compatible) - Simplifies service and reduces the hassle of breakdown/packing compared to internally routed systems
• Flat-mount disc braking platform - Designed around 140mm rotors front and rear, with 160mm max supported via adapters (sold separately) for riders prioritizing added braking leverage
• Ritchey Carbon Adventure Fork - Integrated carbon crown with multi-purpose rack and fender mounts supports practical setups for commuting, light touring, or travel-focused builds

Compatible with 1x or 2x drivetrains, the Septimer frameset gives fit-and-function flexibility for everything from compact, low-maintenance adventure gearing to closer-ratio road-oriented setups.
