With its flared, upward-swept wings, the Ritchey Comp Buzzard handlebar embodies the adventurous spirit of the Ritchey Comp Kyote and takes it to another level – offering a true off-road touring and bikepacking handlebar with comfortable and practical features.
Rising above similar adventure handlebars on the market, the Comp Buzzard boasts a flat 70mm rise, promoting a more upright riding position for ultimate comfort on tours or bikepacking trips – especially on bikes with a lower stack height. With a modest reach, the Buzzard is ideal for those of us who want to ride in a comfortable position that reduces wrist strain and allows us to settle back and into the bike, rather than hunching over in an aggressive and unsustainable angle.
The Buzzard's comfort is complemented by thoughtfully designed practical features. Its generous 820mm width ensures excellent control when the road gets rougher, its rise keeps your line of sight clear so you can see what lies ahead, and the wide central section lets you attach all sorts of bags and accessories needed for your long rides. Plus, its low price will save you money for a celebratory coffee at the end of your adventure.
The Buzzard's true calling is seeking out rides that float above forests, deserts, mountains, or anywhere you want to escape with ease and grace—whether it's joyfully cruising endless trails all day or tackling that 1,000-kilometer bikepacking event you've been dreaming of.
The Buzzard isn't a handlebar for aspiring riders—it's a handlebar for those who aspire to be.
