RITCHEY COMP ERGOMAX｜Gravel handlebars for long rides with a natural forward-leaning posture

Ride comfortably all day, from paved roads to gravel, in a natural position.

The RITCHEY COMP ERGOMAX is a drop handlebar that prioritizes comfort for gravel rides and long-distance touring. The 12° drop flare allows for a stable grip on the drops, supporting calm control even on loose surfaces.

The top section features a flat, rounded ergo-aero shape. Additionally, the clamp area is raised by 10mm, making it easier to achieve an upright riding posture that isn't overly aggressive.

The 12° flare is not excessively wide, so it's a shape that minimizes discomfort when switching from standard road handlebars. It's suitable for those who want to maintain ease of riding on paved roads while increasing stability on gravel.

The 10mm higher clamp area is also appealing as it makes it easier to sit upright without adding too many spacers. It's recommended for those who want to slightly moderate their forward-leaning posture or prioritize comfort on long distances.
