Product details

Tom Ritchey has been riding off-road for decades, long before the terms "gravel riding" or "bikepacking" became popular, and has designed products for such adventures. His experiences are directly reflected in every Ritchey product, such as the popular VentureMax handlebar. With its short reach, shallow drop, and targeted flare, the original VentureMax offers comfort and confidence for many riders looking to enjoy dirty drop bar adventures.

The Classic VentureMax is influenced by these experiences and adds some new features to continue inspiring riders to explore gravel and other mixed-surface adventures. With its high-gloss polished silver finish, the Classic VentureMax adds a touch of stylish sophistication. The aero-shaped, ergonomic 38x22.5 mm tops provide a more comfortable hand position, while the drilling for a Shimano EW-RS910 connection box enhances the versatility of the WCS VentureMax.

Multiple hand positions are key to comfort and confidence on any ride, and the Classic VentureMax offers many options, especially with its wide 24-degree flare at the drops. The return of the bio-bend in the drop adds another practical and comfortable design element, no matter what surface you ride on or how long your adventure lasts.
