Ritchey WCS Streem Handlebar (Matte Black) (31.8mm) (38/42cm) (10° Flare) (w/ Internal Cable Routing)

Ritchey WCS Streem Handlebar Description:

The Ritchey WCS Streem Handlebar has long combined great performance with exceptional all-day comfort, and the latest iteration has received refinements that make it a phenomenal upgrade for modern road, all-road, and gravel bikes. To start, a triple-butted aluminum alloy is utilized to provide excellent comfort and strength while keeping the weight in check. On top, a wide aero-formed section with a subtle backsweep and the variable-radius compact drops makes it much easier to operate the controls and provides multiple comfortable hand positions. The biggest change to these bars are the flared drops which add leverage for better stability when descending and enhanced control of the bike when carrying gear for commuting or a bike-packing trip. Last but not certainly not least, the Ritchey WCS Streem Handlebar features ports to run cables and hydraulic brake hoses through the handlebar that produces an aerodynamic, comfortable, and aesthetically appealing appearance for the front of any drop-handlebar style bike.

Note:This handlebar is not compatible with Ritchey stems with a C260 handlebar clamp. Also, this product may feature either a multi-colored (champion’s stripes) or a grey Ritchey logo.

Features:

• Refined drop style handlebar built for riders whom refuse to choose between all-day comfort and exceptional performance
• Triple-butted aluminum alloy construction puts extra material where it is needed for strength and stiffness, and reduces it elsewhere for a smoother ride and less weight
• Aero-formed top section improves aerodynamics and provides a wide, very comfortable perch for the hands
• 5° backsweep reduces fatigue and stress on the riders arms and wrists when resting on the top section
• Refined profile of the compact drop sections utilize multiple radii to add more comfortable hand positions and make it easier to operate the brake and shift levers
• Drops flare 10° so the ends of the bar are approximately 4cm wider than the tops, resulting in more control when riding in the drops and adds clearance around handlebar bags and cargo
• Internal cable routing provides an aerodynamic and cleaner appearance, and tucks the cables out of the way for better hand comfort and clearance for handlebar mounted accessories
• UCI-compliant, so these handlebars can be used on race day in addition to everyday riding and training
