Ritchey WCS VentureMax Drop Handlebar - Versatility for Gravel and Adventure Riding

The Ritchey WCS VentureMax Drop Handlebar is built on decades of riding experience by Tom Ritchey, offering a feature-rich design for gravel, bikepacking, and adventure rides. Designed to optimize comfort and control on rough terrains, this handlebar combines the familiarity of Ritchey's original VentureMax with refined ergonomic updates, including an aero-shaped top section, a bio-bend in the drops, and Shimano EW-RS910 junction box compatibility for Di2 integration. With a shallow drop, short reach, and multiple hand positions, the WCS VentureMax offers the ultimate adaptability for long, off-road excursions.

Key Features

• Ergo-Aero Top: Flattened 38x22.5mm top section enhances comfort for resting hands, reducing fatigue over long distances.
• Bio-Bend Drop Design: Features a bump that matches the curvature of the palm, dissipating pressure and providing stability in the drops.
• Wide Drop Flare: 24° flare provides control and confidence on rougher terrain, while 6° flare-out enhances wrist comfort.
• Shimano Di2 Compatible: Drilling for Shimano EW-RS910 junction box offers seamless integration for electronic shifting setups.
• Multiple Sizes: Available in 40, 42, 44, and 46cm widths, measured at the initial bend for accurate sizing.
