Tom Ritchey was off-roading and hiking - and designing products for such adventures - decades before anyone thought to call it 'gravel riding' or 'bikepacking'. His real-life experiences directly influence every product Ritchey makes, like the beloved VentureMax handlebars. With its short reach, low drop and flared shape, the original VentureMax offers comfort and confidence to legions of cyclists looking to settle in and have fun on their low drop handlebar adventures. Like its predecessor, the new generation Comp VentureMax is influenced by these life experiences, but adds new features - continuing to inspire riders to chase gravel and other mixed-surface adventures. Ergonomic 38x22.5 mm aero-shaped tips offer a more comfortable hand position, while drilling for a Shimano EW-RS910 junction box expands the Comp VentureMax's adaptability. Multiple hand positions are essential for comfort and confidence on any course, and the Comp VentureMax offers plenty of options in this regard - especially with its wide 24° flare at water-drop level. But it's the return of the Bio-bend in the drop that adds yet another practical and comfortable design element, whatever surface you choose to ride on and however long your adventure.
The flattened top section measuring 38x22.5 mm provides a comfortable area for hands to rest.
