The RL1 Curve brings a classic double-radius road bend — short reach, shallow drop, round tops — to RL1, Ritchey's entry tier that delivers the brand's reliability and practical performance at a budget-friendly price.

Highlights

  • Double-radius bend gives more hand positions in the drops than an anatomical or ergo shape
  • Short 73mm reach and shallow 128mm drop
  • Centre section is aero bar compatible
  • Double-butted 6061 aluminium alloy
  • Entry-tier RL1 pricing

What is RL1?
