Compare Comp or Logic

The Ritchey Logic is a classic steel/plastic Ahead headset with retainer ball bearings. It is robust, durable and ideal for traditional steel frames, but somewhat heavier and technically simpler.

The Ritchey Comp uses modern semi-cartridge bearings and aluminium shells. It is lighter, easier to maintain and offers a more precise, low-friction bearing - ideal for versatile use on road bikes, gravel bikes or MTBs.

👉 In short: Logic = classic & robust, Comp = modern & lighter.

Conclusion:

Logic: Classic, durable headset for robust steel frames or retro bikes. Focus on durability and simple technology.
Comp: Modern, lightweight headset with semi-cartridge bearings. Offers better ease of maintenance and is intended for all-round use (road, gravel, MTB).

👉 The Logic is ideal for classic steel frames or retro setups. For lighter, modern bikes with a focus on weight and easy maintenance, we recommend the Comp.
