RITCHEY WCS Beacon Blatte Di2 handlebar

The ergonomic evolution of the Ritchey handlebar continues with the groundbreaking WCS Beacon. The most striking feature is the super-wide 36° flare. Aside from the unparalleled ergonomic comfort and stability this wide flare provides, it also offers plenty of room for handlebar packs. When riding in the drops, the Beacon doubles the comfort with a very shallow 80 mm drop and a shorter than normal reach. The Evo-style upper offers wide support for your hands and has a gentle rearward movement for a more natural hand position when riding the tops. The WCS Beacon´s unconventional aesthetic belies its comfort and practicality. Inspired by the randonneur world, the Beacon allows for an easy transition of the hands around the bar without interfering with bike handling when loaded with gear. The gentle change of hand position allows the body to stretch and move while keeping the bike stable. Ideal for adventure tours and bikepacking, on tarmac or gravel trails - or even urban traffic - the unique WCS Beacon offers a whole new level of comfort and control.
