The Ritchey WCS Switch stem joins the prestigious WCS lineup, carrying the legacy of multiple World Championship victories and the iconic rainbow stripe logo. It features Ritchey’s trusted C220 handlebar clamp design, now widened for enhanced stiffness. The clamping area has also been rotated slightly downward, resulting in a flatter, more aerodynamic profile. Additionally, the front of the stem integrates a hidden, reversible accessory mount, allowing riders to attach cycling computers, cameras, or power meter head units without compromising the stem’s sleek appearance.

Beyond its refined design, the WCS Switch stem is built to seamlessly integrate cables into the headset and frame using the Ritchey Switch System. With space for up to three internally routed cables—such as for brakes, shifters, electronic drivetrains, or dropper posts—this system ensures a clean and organized setup. Compatible with straight 1.5" head tubes and tapered 1-1/8" – 1.5" forks, the Switch System offers a cutting-edge solution for modern bike builds.
