Review on Ritchey WCS EvoCurve Road Bike Drop Handlebar - Lightweight Aluminum Alloy For Gravel, Cyclocross & Road Bikes by Victor Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

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. In the end though, all my bikes have ended up with Ritchey kit simply because it's reliable, cost-effective and does what I need it to do. 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 bike fit on an Ebay review!) , don't creak or squeak, and offer enough different hand positions that I don't get bored. Honestly, reviewing things like handlebars is incredibly subjective - if you stick with good brands pretty much all of them are very high quality these days - it comes down to body fit and intended use. Ritchey works for me, and these bars fit my needs perfectly.

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
