## Description

Ritchey: The evolution of Ritchey handlebars continues with the Comp ErgoMax. This new bar enjoys a rich history of handlebar design and development, and combines it with the modern demands of discerning riders who enjoy riding varying surfaces.Designed to enhance control and comfort when riding along loose surfaces, the ErgoMax is ideal for a gravel bike since it places the hands in a wider, more stable position while in the drops. The ErgoMax is just as perfectly situated on road bikes that are built for endurance, its ergonomics delivering unparalleled comfort.The bar tops employ a 10mm rise at the clamping area, which offers a slightly more upright riding position. They are then ovalized and have a slight 4-degree rearward sweep to more evenly distribute the weight of the rider's hands and wrists, also putting them in a more natural position.Continuing with an eye towards ergonomics, the ErgoMax also features drops with a nice 12-degree flare to keep the rider's hands in a comfortable and confident position, while also adding a bit more unobstructed stability when turning or sprinting.The new Ritchey ErgoMax bar delivers more control, welcome comfort and increased confidence when riding gravel, setting out on multi-day adventures or rolling along those long miles of tarmac.Features:Material: double-butted 6061 alloyBend shape: compactTop section: ergo-aeroWidth: 40, 42, 44, 46cmDrop: 128mmReach: 73mmDrop flare: 12°Flare out: 3°Backsweep: 4.6°Clamp diameter: 31.8mmAccessory mount diameter: 31.8mmCompatible with Shimano EW-RS910 junction boxClip-on compatibility: noNot compatible with Ritchey C260 stemWeight: 320g (42cm)Color: BB black

Review: Great all around bar - I got this for my gravel bike, had an old road bar on their before deep hooks, old style. This new bar is wow awsome. I didn't think much about the shape before, just looked the part. Now I see why, the hand positions are great and help my bike fit much better. Now that I am not racing like a fool, this works better for me. I've seen more of these sneaking into regular road biking. I plan to get another for my road bike, except a little narrower. I like the angle of the hoods, more ergonomic and aero. I've been getting Ritchey Bars for 20 year, trust them, and this is as good as any of them.
Review: Very comfortable bars - I love these bars they're so comfortable I'm thinking of buying another pair for my other road bike

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very comfortable bars
*by W***3 on April 10, 2020*

I love these bars they're so comfortable I'm thinking of buying another pair for my other road bike

### ⭐⭐ Not for me
*by T***H on December 29, 2022*

I wasn’t a fan of the flat bar portion because I had to have my hands in just the right place for it to be comfortable. I returned this one (had to pay to send it back) and opted for a bar that was just round all the way. More comfortable in more positions I think.
