RitcheyWCS Logic Curve Handlebar(Return to Product Page)

Good, stiff bars. I purchased to get a semi-compact fit and these fit well. They are good bars with a nice curve. I would like a bit more cable guide groove.

I have these handlebars on both of my bikes - they are great quality and lightweight. Love the short reach and shallow drops.

Most experienced riders will tell you that the early ergonomic bars were anything but. The new compact bends go a long way to correcting that. The square, flat top section on top gives you lots of stable placements for the hands from the stem to the brake hoods. Similarly, the increasing radius curve of the drops provides continuous hand placements, including some that keep the control levers in reach. What distinguishes the WCS Curve from many of the others is the squareness of the drops to the tops, a shorter reach, and a slightly deeper drop. You might enjoy the more upright position this gives, or you might prefer a lower, longer stem.

I have this bar on my travel bike. With getting packed and tossed around in airline luggage service, I wanted the sort of bar I have on my A bike but with the durability of alloy. This bar fits the bill perfectly. It's light, strong, and comfortable. The shape of the bar makes for a nice flat transition with my DA7800 shifters. Has a nice aggressive look on the bike, and is a perfect match to the Ritchey WCS stems in the ball-burnished finish.

Bought this to replace an OEM anatomical bend bar. I didn't realize how much I disliked the old bar until I installed this one. The curve is much better and I use the drops much more frequently. I have the added benefit of a shorter reach improved my position and I am havng less hand numbness.

This bar is a great budget option for those who wish to try out a compact bar. I used this so I could drop my stem but still have the same relative reach to the drops. I'm also able to shift a bit more easily in the drops than I was with a full-size ergonomic bend bar.

Overall a great, easy upgrade! Bars seem stiff, and have a very handy ruler printed on each bend, making it a snap to line up the levers on both sides evenly.
