Ritchey WCS Beacon

The most striking feature of this handlebar is its super-wide 36° drop flare. Apart from the unmatched ergonomic comfort and stability this wide drop offers, it also allows plenty of space for handlebar packs. When riding in the drops, the Beacon offers twice the comfort with a very shallow drop of 80 mm and a shorter reach than usual. The Evo-style top offers wide support for the hands and is slightly curved back for a more natural hand position when riding on the crests. The unconventional aesthetics of the WCS Beacon belies its comfort and practicality. Inspired by the world of bike packers, the Beacon allows for an easy transition of hands around the handlebars without compromising the bike's handling when loaded with gear. The smooth change in hand position allows the body to stretch and move while the bike remains stable. Ideal for adventure touring on asphalt, gravel roads or for riding in the city.
