Elevate your ride with the Ritchey MTB Classic 560mm Handlebar. Crafted from durable, lightweight 6061 double-butted alloy, this polished silver bar offers timeless style and proven performance. Its 560mm width provides nimble, responsive steering for tight trails or urban commutes, while the 5° backsweep ensures ergonomic comfort. Weighing just 221g, it enhances agility. With a 31.8mm clamp diameter and bar end compatibility, it´s versatile for any build, offering legendary quality and an iconic look.
The defining characteristic of this handlebar is its sharp, responsive handling. The 560mm width is specifically chosen to provide lightning-fast steering input, making it an exceptional choice for navigating tight, twisting singletrack or weaving through dense city traffic with confidence. This narrower profile allows for incredible agility, enabling you to pick your line with surgical precision. This non-integrated aluminum bar gives you the freedom to choose your preferred stem for a fully customized cockpit setup.
Comfort has not been sacrificed for performance. The gentle 5-degree backsweep places your wrists in a more natural, ergonomic position, reducing fatigue and strain on longer rides. This subtle yet crucial design element ensures that you can stay comfortable and in control, whether you´re tackling an all-day epic or just your daily commute. The flat, zero-rise profile promotes an aggressive, forward-leaning posture ideal for efficient climbing and spirited MTB cycling.
At the heart of the Classic handlebar is its advanced construction. The double-butting process intelligently varies the wall thickness of the aluminum tubing, reinforcing it where strength is critical and shaving weight where it´s not. The result is a bar that is impressively strong and stiff for positive control, yet remarkably light to keep your bike feeling lively and quick to accelerate. Its stunning high-polish silver finish not only protects against the elements but also provides a brilliant, eye-catching aesthetic that pairs beautifully with any frame color.
