Ritchey WCS VentureMax Alloy Handlebar – 38cm
SKU code: DTW-RIG-HBWVM38BT
$201.95
The new-generation WCS VentureMax keeps the short reach, shallow drop and purposeful flare that made the original a favourite for gravel and mixed-surface adventures, with an ergo-aero top section and drilling for a Shimano Di2 junction box.
Highlights
- Triple-butted 7050 alloy construction, Blatte finish
- Ergo-aero 38×22.5mm top section for a flatter, more comfortable hand position
- 24° drop flare with Ritchey's Bio-bend in the drops
- Drilled for a Shimano EW-RS910 Di2 junction box
- Standard widths 38–46cm, plus 50cm and 52cm XL widths for a wider bikepacking fit
- Clip-on compatible on every width except 38cm
Geometry
102mm drop, 75mm reach, 6° flare-out and 4.6° backsweep. Ritchey's own spec sheet notes width is measured at the initial bend rather than at the hoods.
Compatibility & fit
31.8mm clamp and 31.8mm accessory mount diameter. Ritchey's own spec sheet states this bar is not compatible with the Ritchey C260 stem — Dirt Works' listing says the opposite; this copy follows Ritchey's page.
