The ergonomic evolution of Ritchey handlebars continues with the revolutionary Comp Beacon. The most remarkable feature is its super-wide 36° drop flare. In addition to the unrivalled ergonomic comfort and stability offered by this wide flare, it also provides plenty of space for the handlebars.
On descents, the Beacon doubles up on comfort with a drop of 80 mm and a shorter-than-usual reach. The Evo-style top section offers ample support for your hands, and is angled slightly backwards for a more natural hand position when riding uphill.
The Comp Beacon's unconventional aesthetic belies its comfort and practicality. Inspired by the world of hikers, the Beacon allows easy transition of hands around the handlebars without disrupting the bike's maneuverability when loaded with gear. The smooth change in hand position allows the body to stretch and move, while keeping the bike stable.
Ideal for adventure touring and bikepacking, on asphalt or gravel trails - or even for urban riding - Comp's unique Beacon brings a whole new level of comfort and control.
