Crafted from lightweight yet durable aluminum, this 31.8mm clamp diameter handlebar features a bold matte black finish, making it an ideal upgrade for gravel bikes, endurance road bikes, or any bike where rider ergonomics are a priority. Materials & Engineering Constructed from aluminum, the Ritchey Ergomax handlebar offers an excellent balance of strength, weight savings (weighing only 325 grams), and corrosion resistance. Its engineering incorporates a flattened round top with a comfortable ergonomic design, reducing fatigue during long rides while providing aerodynamic benefits. The handlebar's variable radius curve ensures seamless hand positioning, promoting natural grip variations and enhanced comfort.

Whether you're a gravel rider tackling rough trails, an endurance cyclist covering long distances, or a commuter seeking comfort and control, this handlebar provides the perfect blend of ergonomics and performance. Its Review: Love the Rise on These! - I got these to replace my stock handlebars on my steel gravel bike. So far I really like them. Big fan of the slight rise as I have a bad lower back so its more comfortable for long rides with these bars. I also like the more flat tops for resting my hands. They seem very well made at a reasonable price. Definitely recommend for a gravel bike upgrade! Review: Comfortable - Love this bar. Just the right amount of rise for me and really like the flat profile in the tops. Only issue is limited space on the tops to add accessories. ## Features - Enhanced control and stability on loose surfaces with a 12 flared drop bend style, ideal for gravel and endurance cycling. - Constructed from lightweight, durable aluminum 31.8mm clamp diameter for excellent strength-to-weight ratio and reliable performance. - Ergonomically designed with a flat, aerodynamic top section featuring a 10mm rise for a more upright, comfortable riding posture during long-distance rides. - Features a variable radius curved profile and a slight 4.6 rearward sweep, ensuring natural hand positioning, reduced fatigue, and improved handling. - Sleek matte black finish combined with external cable routing simplifies installation and maintenance, making this handlebar a smart choice for versatile cycling needs. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07VDGVYY4 | | Best Sellers Rank | #474,479 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #576 in Bike Handlebars | | Brand | Ritchey | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (43) | | Date First Available | July 17, 2019 | | Exterior | BB Black | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 11.3 ounces | | Item model number | RT30335317074 | | Manufacturer | Ritchey | | Manufacturer Part Number | RT30335317074 | | Model | Comp Ergomax Bar | | Product Dimensions | 19.69 x 7.87 x 0.04 inches | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ritchey - **Color:** BB Black - **Item Weight:** 320 Grams - **Material:** Aluminum - **Product Dimensions:** 19.69"L x 7.87"W ## Images ![Ritchey Comp ErgoMax Drop Handlebar - Aluminum, 31.8, 44, BB Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41U+oKZq17L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love the Rise on These! *by J***Z on April 4, 2025* I got these to replace my stock handlebars on my steel gravel bike.
