Review on Upgrade Your Ride With The Ritchey Comp SC Rizer Mountain Handlebar - Perfect For Mountain, Adventure, And Gravel Bikes by Terrance Haralson

Updating my 1997 MTB and replaced an Aluminum 21" handlebar with this Ritchey handlebar. Easy to install, and the extra 5.5" in length will be very helpful on the trails. I'm not happy about the weight. Substantially heavier than the 23 year old handlebar I'm replacing. Another problem is the tube walls are thick (the source of the extra weight) so I need to find bar-ends that will fit that. Totally at a loss about why Ritchey would make such a thick and heavy bar. Definitely watering down the brand by putting product like this on the market.
