The Ritchey WCS Carbon Flat MTB handlebar is very popular particularly in cross country and marathon mountain biking. As the name indicates, the WCS Carbon handlebar is made of a special carbon layup, which ensures high stiffness, good vibration damping and low weight. It has an internal reinforcement for safe mounting of shifters, brake levers and bar ends. And it has a textured area for secure mounting to the stem. Very lightweight and strong thanks to the carbon-monocoque design The Ritchey WCS Carbon bars are made based on an innovative carbon-monocoque design. It is a construction technique whereby the load-bearing structure is formed by the shell, or outer skin, with no internal reinforcements. This makes these handlebars super light as well as super strong!
