Half the guides recommend "say-tr" like you said. The other half (maybe British English?) recommend "sat-r", as in "She sat 'erself down on the chair."
While I'm sure this bike is a few steps up from my Norco, I absolutely love my Search (steel) for all the same reasons you've detailed here with this one. Like you, one of the best things I love about that Search is that if just FITS, and feels good from one end of the gravel spectrum to the other.
Thanks for a great video on the Ritte "the Satyr". I have never heard of this brand before. I have been looking at the Fairlight Secan as a potential gravel bike. You have made my life more complicated to consider my next bike.
Haha. Thanks for watching! Yeeesh, I hear ya. There are so many amazing steel bikes out there. I’ve drooled over Fairlight bikes for a while. Wish I could provide a comparison between, but I haven’t ridden a FL before. Good luck!
Nice setup - steel is right up my alley. I was just looking for framesets. If you know any other good steel "all terrain" bikes or frames, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Just waiting till late Jan when my Ritchey Outback arrives at the shop(bangkok Thailand) for assembly. I get there from Malaysia end of feb, get fitted then me and the bike heading to Koh samui for a month…no I’m not riding from Bangkok to Koh samui 😂.
I’m sorry, if it were possible for you to ride a bike blindfolded, you couldn’t tell the difference. Tires are more important to ride than aluminum vs steel. If everything else was the same and it was possible to ride blindfolded, you couldn’t tell the difference. Short chain stays and gearing and the rides capability is more important than steel vs. aluminum. And don’t give me the “strength” of steel argument, we’ve all heard about every other material breaking at some point or another. Components being the same the only thing different is the frame and you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Tires are going to make more of a difference. FWIW - Proper bike fit is more important than anything. A bad fitting bike for you will make it “feel” like the worst bike ever.
Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment! I usually run about 30-40 PSI with 40c tires. Tubeless of course! Have fun out there🤙🏼
Did I mispronounce this bike? Either way… steel bikes are really fun off road.

The Satyr is great looking bike, enjoy it man! 🤘🏼
Thanks homie! I wish I could keep it, haha. I had a lot of fun on it though!

Couldn't agree more! When a bike feels good with the fit, then you def want to ride more!
Steel bikes with carbon forks - best of both worlds! Looks like a fun to ride. Thanks for the nice review.
Couldn’t agree more. Perfect combination for sure. It’s a great bike!!

Steel frames are the GOAT.
Absolutely. Couldn’t agree more!! It’s exciting to see companies stick with steel, but update them with modern geo. I’m here for it!

Steel bikes are so hard to find.
