Ritchey P-29 MTB frameset 29er dirt in blood red

Tom Ritchey is passionate about mountain biking, which inspired him to create the Ritchey P-29er, allowing you to experience the same thrilling adventures he has enjoyed on trails throughout his life. Designed for navigating tight, twisty, and technical cross-country singletrack, the P-29er embodies Ritchey’s rich mountain bike heritage. This exceptional frameset captures everything Tom cherishes about mountain biking—roots, rocks, excitement, and endless exploration in the wilderness.

The P-29er frame is constructed from Ritchey’s proprietary triple-butted Logic steel tubing, paired with modern XC geometry for a remarkably balanced ride. It blends a lively, responsive feel with a comfortable and predictable handling. The P-29er stands as the ultimate cross-country mountain bike.

Building on the legacy of its P-series predecessors that helped shape the sport, this latest iteration of the P-29er is a contemporary machine equipped with features that today’s XC riders demand. It features BOOST spacing, discreet dropper post routing, and an ultra-light forged tapered headtube. With clearance for tires up to 2.3” and designed around a 100mm-travel fork, the P-29er is a true testament to the spirit of endless singletrack adventures.
