Handlebars

Tom Ritchey has been riding off-road and riding far – and designing products for such adventures - decades before anyone thought to call it “gravel riding” or “bikepacking.” His real-life experiences directly inform every product made by Ritchey – such as the beloved VentureMax handlebar. With its short reach, shallow drop and purposeful flare, the original VentureMax offers comfort and confidence to legions of riders looking to settle in and have some fun on those dirty drop bar adventures. Like its predecessor, the new generation Comp VentureMax is influenced by those life experiences, but some adds new features – continuing to inspire riders to chase gravel and other mixed surface adventures. Aero-shaped 38x22.5mm ergonomic tops offer a more comfortable hand position, while drilling for a Shimano EW-RS910 junction box expands the adaptability of the WCS VentureMax. Multiple hand positions are key for comfort and confidence on any ride, and the WCS VentureMax offers plenty of options there – especially with its wide 24-degree flare at the drops. But it’s the return of the Bio-bend in the drop that adds yet another design element that is practical and comfortable for whatever surface you choose to ride upon and for however long your adventure endures. The flattened 38x22.5mm top section provides a comfortable area for resting hands Compatible with Shimano EW-RS910 junction box Width is measured at the initial bend rather than at the hood

In addition to full or partial internal cable routing, the new, lightweight Ritchey SuperLogic EvoCurve is a top-level, lightweight carbon handlebar featuring a short reach, shallow drop, and a 4-degree sweep at the ergonomic top section. Its smooth, double-radius drops afford great hand position. The no-slip grit at stem and brake lever mounting surfaces ensures confident installation, while position lines make sure levers are installed accurately and evenly. Inspired by a lifetime of experiences, the SuperLogic EvoCurve delivers exquisite performance and comfort for athletes at the highest levels of road and 'cross racing as well as more mortal riders who demand the absolute best. - Material: lightweight carbon fiber - Bend style: compact - Top style: ergonomic - Width: 400, 420, 440mm - Drop: 130mm - Reach: 80mm - Flare out: 2° - Backsweep: 4° - Clamp diameter: 31.8mm - Accessory mount diameter: 31.8mm - Cable routing: full or partial internal - Compatible with Shimano EW-RS910 junction box - Clip-on compatibility: no - Other features: Di2 cable internal routing—C260 compatible - Weight: 200g (420mm)

With its wing-shaped bar top, the SL-70 Aero features Zipp's latest bar refinements while building on the trend-setting aero legacy of the VukaSprint. The wing-shaped top was designed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The difference of that design is real, saving 6.4 watts over a round-tube section bar top. Beyond aero performance, the SL-70 Aero features a 70mm reach to allow proper fit without compromising stem length and steering control. The revised 10° ramp angle to the brake hoods eliminates the need for up-rotated bars. The bar also provides ample wrist clearance for riding and sprinting in drops. - Updated distinctive Zipp cosmetics - 70mm reach and 128mm drop allows for a low and aero drops position - Internal cable routing is easy with Rapid Route - Lifetime warranty

Light weight, comfort, and strength: the new SL-70 Ergo is the ultimate handlebar for long days in the saddle. The SL-70 Ergo combines the flat bar top shape of the beloved Contour SL bar with numerous modern features sought after by riders and pro bike fitters.
