Ritchey Hanger RL1 Venturemax

Tom Ritchey was off-roading and hiking - and designing products for such adventures - decades before anyone thought to call it "gravel riding" or "bikepacking. His real-life experiences directly influence every product Ritchey makes, like the beloved VentureMax handlebars. With its short reach, low drop and targeted flare, the original VentureMax offers comfort and confidence to the legions of cyclists looking to settle in and have fun on their drop bar adventures. Like its WCS and Comp brethren, the new RL1 VentureMax is influenced by these life experiences and inspires riders to chase gravel andautres adventures on mixed surfaces. But the RL1 VentureMax also offers Ritchey 's unwavering reliability and practical performance for budget-conscious riders looking for components to upgrade their current bike or complete their next build. With its round temples, short reach and low drop, the RL1 VentureMax offers multiple hand positions for comfort and confidence on any course. Its wide 24-degree flare at the drops enhances its comfort and performance on rough terrain. But it's the Bio-bend in the drop that adds yet another practical and welcome design element no matter what surface you choose to ride on and no matter how long your adventure.
