Ritchey Venturemax Classic Handlebar Ready for day-long gravel bike adventures, this drop handlebar features a double-butted 6061 alloy construction that makes it durable on the most demanding of mixed terrain conditions. Whether you're exploring countryside back roads or spending the weekend bikepacking, this versatile model is well-equipped with a round top section & comfortable geometry that's specifically engineered for tackling the demands of gravel riding. Tom Ritchey has been riding off-road & riding far
- & designing products for such adventures
- decades before anyone thought to call it “gravel riding” or “bikepacking.” His real-life experiences directly inform every single product made by Ritchey
- such as the beloved Venture Max handlebar. With its short reach, shallow drop & purposeful flare, the original Venture Max offers comfort & confidence to legions of riders looking to settle in & have some fun on those dirty drop bar adventures. Comfortable with High Polish Finish Like the original, the Classic Venture Max is influenced by those life experiences, but some adds updated features
- continuing to inspire riders to chase gravel & other mixed-surface adventures. Adding a touch of stylish sophistication with its high-polish silver finish, the Classic Venture Max features aero-shaped 38x 22.5mm ergonomic tops for a more comfortable hand position, while drilling for a Shimano EW-RS910 junction box expands the adaptability of the WCS Venture Max. Gravel Bike Drop Bar with Bio-Bend Design Multiple hand positions are key for comfort & confidence on any ride, & the Classic Venture Max offers plenty of options there
- especially with its wide 24-degree flare at the drops. But it's the return of the Bio-bend in the drop that adds yet another design element that is practical & comfortable for whatever surface you choose to ride upon & for however long your adventure endures.
