The ergonomic evolution of Ritchey handlebars continues with the revolutionary WCS Beacon. Its most striking feature is its super-wide 36° drop flare. Beyond the unparalleled ergonomic comfort and stability this wide flare provides, it also frees up significant clearance for the handlebars.
On descents, the Beacon delivers enhanced comfort with an 80mm drop and a shorter reach than usual. The Evo-style top section offers ample hand support and is slightly angled back for a more comfortable hand position when riding in the highlands.
The WCS Beacon's unconventional aesthetic belies its comfort and practicality. Inspired by the world of touring, the Beacon allows for easy hand transitions around the handlebars without compromising the bike's handling when loaded with gear. The smooth hand positioning allows the body to stretch and move freely while maintaining bike stability.
Ideal for adventure touring and bikepacking, on asphalt or gravel trails - or even for urban riding - the one-of-a-kind WCS Beacon brings a whole new level of comfort and control.
