Ritchey Comp ErgoMax Handlebar (Black) (31.8mm) (38cm) (18° Flare)

Ritchey Comp ErgoMax Handlebar Description:

The Ritchey Comp ErgoMax Handlebar is a very comfortable handlebar with an exceptional cost-to-performance ratio. Constructed out of a light and sturdy double-butted aluminum alloy, this handlebar has a slightly backswept and raised aerodynamic top section that produces excellent comfort and reduces fatigue. Shallow, variable-radius drops enable an easier reach for the brake and shift levers from multiple hand positions, and those drops are flared outward for better bike control and handling; as a bonus the flares provide extra clearance around handlebar bags and front rack mounted bags. Last but not certainly not least, the Ritchey Comp ErgoMax Handlebar features generous cable groves on the underside of the handlebar for getting the cables and hoses tucked out of the way, ensuring there is nothing to irritate the fingers as they grip the bar and providing a cleaner appearance for the front of the bike.

Note:This handlebar is not compatible with Ritchey stems with a C260 handlebar clamp.

Features:

• Comfortable and durable drop-style handlebar that is right at home on a bike packing rig, gravel bike, or a road bike built for covering some serious miles
• Double-butted aluminum alloy construction produces an ideal balance of compliance, strength, and stiffness
• Flattened, ergonomic top section boosts aerodynamics and provides a wide perch that reduces hand fatigue and numbness in the fingers
• Tops feature a 10mm rise at the clamping area, offering a more upright riding position without needing extra headset spacers or a more angled stem
• 5° backsweep reduces fatigue and stress on the riders arms and wrists when resting on the top section
• Drops flare out 18° and the ends flare another 3° outward to give extra leverage and control over technical terrain plus extra room for front mounted bags
• The ends of the handlebars are approximately 8cm wider than the width of the tops of the handlebars
• 70mm reach combined with shallow continuously changing radius drops puts the brake and shift levers within a comfortable reach, and this profile also makes for faster and easier hand position changes
• Groves on the bottom side of the handlebar are for tucking cables and hydraulic hoses out of the way for improved comfort and a cleaner appearance
