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

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Get it if your looking for a wider bar on an old MTB with 24.5mm clamp diameter.

A bit heavy at 470g and very thick. Also, the rise is 35mm not 30mm.I needed something longer than the 620mm and was 24.5mm clamp on a old MTB my buddy gave me.670mm length was perfect, couldn't find longer for my clamp diameter, but 670mm fits great and just long enough. 9 degree Backsweep is perfect and common. 2 degree upsweep I thought wouldn't be enough but it's not bad at all. Would be nice if it was more but compared to the original handlebars which had a drastic backsweep and upsweep, this bar is miles better. Also thought it was a 30mm rise as Revain indicated in title, it's actually 35mm. I didn't want this high of a rise but it's fine and not that high, especially compared to the 50mm rise that was on the bike. If you read the description, it a does say 35mm, so Revain has title wrong. Only beef is why so heavy, but not like it added much to the bike. Definitely bullet proof. Bike is way more comfortable to ride now.

Pros
  • Constructed out of 6061 alloy, the Comp SC Rizer is both durable and light weight
Cons
  • May not offer enough hand positioning options for some riders
