Looks smart. Comfortable.

Perfect. Though it may relax your riding position a bit, think about a longer stem if you want to negate the 2 degree sweep back.

Pros
  • ‎Cycling
Cons
  • The Ritchey WCS EvoCurve Road Bike Drop Handlebar might not be suitable for those who are looking for a handlebar with a more traditional shape, as the EvoCurve design might take some getting used to

Ritchey equipment is the nest

There's a lot of bars and stems and seat posts out there, and I've used most of them over the last 47 years of riding.

With these bars in particular, I had to get something with less reach and drop, but without the flare effect that's so popular these days. They were easy to install, fit me perfectly (can't comment on fit in general - please don't base your…

Pros
  • ‎RITCHEY
Cons
  • While lightweight, the aluminum alloy construction may not be as strong as some other materials. This could be a concern for cyclists who regularly take their bikes off-road or participate in more demanding cycling events
