What Our Gearhead Experts Are Saying:"I love how the 9° backsweep on this handlebar gives my wrists a natural, comfortable angle while still feeling precise and responsive on technical terrain. The reversible /-5mm rise is a nice bonus for dialing in fit without adding weight."When we hit the trails, comfort and control are key, and the Ritchey Comp Flat Handlebar delivers on both. Its 9° backsweep aligns our wrists naturally for fatigue-free riding, while the double-butted 6061 alloy construction ensures lightweight strength that stands up to rugged terrain. Whether we’re fine-tuning our cockpit with the reversible /-5mm rise or enjoying the precise feel of its 710mm width, this bar gives us the confidence to push limits on technical descents and flowy singletrack alike.
