RITCHEY WCS ERGOMAX | Gravel handlebars for long rides in a natural forward-leaning posture

From paved to unpaved roads, achieve a relaxed position that allows you to ride all day long.

The RITCHEY WCS ERGOMAX is a drop handlebar designed for comfort on gravel rides and long tours. Its moderately flared drop shape helps stabilize your hands on rough terrain, supporting controlled operation.

The top features an ergonomic aero shape that allows your palms to rest naturally. By raising the clamp area by 10mm, it's easier to achieve an upright riding posture without excessive forward lean.

This handlebar is a good choice for those who want to maintain an effective forward-leaning posture without it being too aggressive, while also ensuring operability on rough terrain. Its shape is suitable not only for gravel bikes but also for touring bikes used for relaxed long-distance rides.

The 12° flare is not excessively wide, so it helps minimize discomfort when switching from standard drop handlebars. Recommended for riders who want to comfortably change hand positions between the top, hoods, and drops.
