Ritchey WCS Carbon Ergomax - When Tom Ritchey steps outside his door and clips into his bike, he seldom has a plan for that day's ride. He might head right to the trails close to his house for an afternoon of ripping singletrack, or he might be gone for several hours on a brisk road ride. There's also a good chance he'll spend a lot of time on the gravel roads that link his favorite trails to long stretches of tarmac. In order to take full advantage of this diverse mix of riding surfaces, it's important to have the tools that are up for the job. That's the idea behind the Ritchey WCS Carbon ErgoMax handlebar. As with the popular original ErgoMax, the new WCS Carbon version of this adaptable handblebar is designed to enhance control and comfort when riding along any riding surface thrown at it. The new WCS Carbon ErgoMax is an ideal bar for riding along loose and dirty surfaces since it places the hands in a wider, more stable position while in the drops. Yet, it's just as perfectly situated on road bikes for endurance rides along smooth, clean tarmac - its ergonomics deliver unparalleled comfort. The 15mm rise at the clamping area offers a slightly more upright riding position, while a 5 backsweep and ergo aero tops reduce arm and hand fatigue. The 12 drop flare keeps the rider's hands in a comfortable and confident position while also adding a bit more unobstructed stability when turning or for those out-of-the-saddle efforts. And, of course, the carbon fiber construction of the new ErgoMax helps mute road (and gravel) vibration, offers internal cable routing, and keeps the weight low.

Just taking it shows its excellent quality, details that you can only find in a Ritchey product, its very contained weight makes it almost imperceptible compared to a carbon one.

I originally had a more gravel focused handle bar that was 42cm wide along with a more flared out bottom. It wasn't 100% comfortable so I decided to check out other bars. Ritchey looked like something I would fit what I was looking for. I wanted to be a bit more comfortable sitting up right and the 10mm rise and the backsweep on the Ritchey made the difference I was looking for. The other factor I liked about this one is the flatter part of the top of the bar allowing my wrist and hand to sit more comfortably.

Stiff and lightweight. Excellent for my gravel bike.
This is a very high caliber bar, spot on with the weight. Finish is durable and also grip grit embedded into the finish around the brake levers and stem. I found the flair at the ends to be wider than expected. Perhaps after seeing I would consider a 40 over my regular 42.
My first impression of the Handlebars was that it is carbon handlebars due to the weight. I have double checked and indeed it is alloy .The combination of the bars and good padding tape made ride on loose terrain and pathols much more comfortable.Although the product was delivered in poor conditionThe box was completely smashed and there was a small scratch on the handlebars due to transport I did contacted Bikinn and send them pictures but after I didn't get much enthusiastic response. I give 4 start only due to package issue if it wants for that I would give 5 start .
After a proper bike fit, I needed to increase handlebar height in order to meet the fit height. The 10mm flare up from the stem and short reach perfectly met my needs. Handlebar is reasonably light and stiff.
