For 50 years, from the dawn of mountain biking to the present day, Ritchey has been innovating in the world of cycling. It is a comprehensive manufacturer that produces not only the frames often featured in our BIKE of the WEEK, but also a wide lineup of products including handlebars, stems, tires, and saddles.
We have just received some handlebars that are perfect for when you want to take it easy on an MTB or an adventure bike with wider tires, so let us introduce them to you.
CLASSIC 10D FLAT HANDLEBAR
CLASSIC 10D FLAT HANDLEBAR
Weight: 349g
Stem Clamp: 31.8mm
Material: 6061-series aluminum
Width: 660mm
A flat bar that looks flat from the front but features a 10° back sweep when viewed from above. Having that 10° angle makes the handle significantly easier to grip, making it a top choice for relaxed rides through the city or on forest paths. The width is 660mm, which is narrow enough to not get in the way even when riding on the street.
RITCHEY Classic Kyote Bar
This one adds another 4° of up-sweep; by bringing the bars closer, your upper body stays more upright, allowing for an even more relaxed riding position.
RITCHEY Classic Kyote Bar
Clamp Diameter: 31.8mm
Weight: 360g
Material: 6061-series aluminum
Width: 800mm
Both options are highly recommended for bikes that can accommodate wider tires, such as the Surly Disc Trucker, All-City Gorilla Monsoon, or the Ritchey Outback.
Please keep these in mind as an option for your next handlebar change.
