{"product_id":"ritchey-wcs-venturemax-cintre-gravel-aluminium","title":"RITCHEY WCS VentureMax aluminium gravel handlebar","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ritchey WCS VentureMax is an aluminium gravel handlebar for loaded bikes: handlebar bag, long stages, unexpected tracks. It has you spending more time in the drops, without strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst, the drop is only 102 mm: moving to the drops lowers your hands only a little, and you can hold the position for hours. The Bio-bend, a bump in the bend, fills the hollow of your palm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen, 24° of flare. In 42 cm, the drops measure 52.3 cm: each hand moves out by about 5 cm, a quarter more leverage to hold a weighed-down front wheel. Seen from the front, the forearm angles outwards on its way down from the shoulder; the tilted drops follow that line and the wrist stays straight. Ritchey measures the width at the start of the bend, not at the hoods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom Ritchey was riding far and off-road long before anyone talked about gravel; this VentureMax brings back his Bio-bend.
