The Ritchey WCS Venture Max V2 bars are made of triple-butted 7050 aluminium, which is lighter and stiffer than the widely used 6061 aluminium. They have a 4.6 degree backsweep at the bar top, and are compatible with all types of shifters.

Meer controle door breder stuur
Breder stuur gemonteerd om mijn gravelbike. Direct meer controle in bochten en op paden. Ik kan het iedereen adviseren.

Cocky good.
In the search for suitable handlebars for my gravel bike, I ended up with Ritchey again. Due to bikepacking trips I chose the widest version to have enough room for a bag. It takes some getting used to, but also gives a lot of stability. The shape of the handlebar bend is, as often with Ritchey idiosyncratically different from other brands, but it works. The top is flat and with a slight backsweep. This is very comfortable because it gives you more support surface for your hands. Definitely highly recommended.

Top handlebar that is light despite the allu version
Top steering wheel Takes some getting used to, given the angle of the flares
Pros & Cons
5 / 5
Best first step to upgrade your gravel bike to.
Very nice upgrade for any gravel bike. Offers sufficient damping, especially compared to other aluminium handlebars. The flare makes descents on rough terrain a lot easier. Good weight. Well, as indicated on the product page, the flare does take some getting used to the position of the shifters, they have a different angle than when mounted on regular handlebars. Also, wrapping handlebar tape can be a bit tricky at the ends, this is due to the 'kink' in the drops.
