Ritchey WCS Beacon Road

In addition to the unmatched ergonomic comfort and stability this wide flare offers, it also allows plenty of room for handlebar packs.When riding in the drops, the Beacon goes double for comfort with a very shallow drop of 80mm and a shorter than usual reach. The Evo-style top end provides wide support for the hands and has a slight swing back for a more natural hand position when riding in the tops.The WCS Beacon's unconventional aesthetic belies its comfort and practicality. Inspired by the world of randonneurs, the Beacon allows for an easy transition of hands around the handlebars without disrupting the bike's handling when loaded with gear. The smooth change in hand position allows the body to stretch and move while the bike remains stable.Ideal for adventure touring and bikepacking, on asphalt or gravel trails - or even for riding around town - the unique WCS Beacon brings a whole new level of comfort and control. - Intended use: road bike / cyclocross - Weight: 270 g - Details: - Drop Flare: 36° Handlebar - Construction: Drop - Backsweep: 4.5 ° Dimension - Handlebar clamp (mm): 31.8 mm Race handlebar - Reach: 65 mm - Drop: 80 mm Main information - Material type: aluminium.
