Whether you're exploring countryside back roads or planning a weekend bikepacking getaway, this gravel bike handlebar is equipped with an anatomical bend shape, an ergonomic top & supportive geometry for handling the rigours of mixed terrain riding. Weighing only 270g (420mm option), it keeps weight to a minimum while delivering smooth handling & durability wherever your next ride leads you. Ergonomic Gravel Handlebar with Comfortable Geometry The ergonomic evolution of Ritchey handlebars continues with the ground-breaking WCS Beacon. The most notable feature is its super-wide 36° drop flare. Aside from the unmatched ergonomic comfort & stability afforded by this wide flare, it also allows for plenty of space for handlebar packs. When riding in the drops, the Beacon doubles down on comfort with a very shallow 80mm drop & a shorter than usual reach. The Evo-style top section offers broad support for your hands, & it has a gentle backward sweep for a more natural hand position when riding the tops. The unconventional aesthetic of the WCS Beacon belies its comfort & practicality. Taking inspiration from the randonneur world, the Beacon allows an easy transition of the hands around the bar without upsetting bike handling when loaded with gear. The gentle change of hand position allows the body to stretch & move while keeping the bike stable. Ideal for adventure touring & bikepacking, on asphalt or gravel trails
