Ritchey WCS Beacon Road

The ergonomic evolution of Ritchey handlebars continues with the groundbreaking WCS Beacon. Its most striking feature is its super-wide 36° drop flare. In addition to the unparalleled ergonomic comfort and stability that this wide flare provides, it also allows for plenty of space for handlebar bags. When riding in the drops, the Beacon doubles down on comfort with a very shallow drop of 80 mm and a shorter reach than usual. The Evo-style top offers a wide support area for the hands and has a slight backward sweep for a more natural hand position when riding on the tops. The unconventional aesthetics of the WCS Beacon disguise its comfort and practicality. Inspired by the world of randonneurs, the Beacon allows for an easy transition of the hands around the handlebars without disturbing the bike's handling when loaded with gear. The smooth change of hand position enables the body to stretch and move while the bike remains stable. Ideal for adventure tours and bikepacking, whether on asphalt or gravel paths—or even for city riding—the unique WCS Beacon brings a whole new level of comfort and control.
