The ergonomic evolution of Ritchey handlebars continues with the groundbreaking Comp Beacon. The most striking feature is its super-wide 36° drop flare. Aside from the unmatched ergonomic comfort and stability this wide flare provides, it also allows plenty of room for handlebar packs.When riding in the drops, the Beacon goes double for comfort with a very shallow drop of 80mm and a shorter reach than usual. The Evo-style top offers wide support for the hands and has a slight sweep to the rear for a more natural hand position when riding in the tops.The unconventional aesthetic of the Comp Beacon belies its comfort and practicality. Inspired by the world of randonneurs, the Beacon allows for an easy transition of hands around the handlebars without disrupting the bike's handling when loaded with gear. The smooth change in hand position allows the body to stretch and move while the bike remains stable.Ideal for adventure touring and bikepacking, on asphalt or gravel trails - or even for riding around town - the unique Comp Beacon brings a whole new level of comfort and control. - Purpose: Road / Cyclocross - Weight: 300 g Handlebar - Type: Drop - Backsweep: 4.5 ° Dimension - Handlebar clamping (mm): 31.8 mm Race handlebar - Reach: 65 mm - Drop: 80 mm Main information - Material type: aluminum.
