Ritchey launches three lightweight carbon mountain bike handlebar options for the SuperLogic lineup with rises of 0mm, 20mm, and 40mm. The different rises support lower, forward climbing positions or more upright riding positions for longer, technical descents. All bars are 760mm wide and include cutting marks to trim width by up to 80mm shorter. Backsweep is adjusted by rise: 7° for the 0mm bar and 8° for the 20mm and 40mm bars. Carbon construction is designed to keep weight low while meeting structural requirements for XC to trail use, with additional material for higher bars. Retail pricing increases with rise, and weights are 155g, 170g, and 175g respectively.
"Riders can choose the zero-rise option for a lower, more forward climbing position and more weight on the front wheel. Or, if that's not your jam, a higher-rise bar for a more upright riding position for tackling longer, technical descents."
"All three of the new SuperLogic carbon bars measure 760mm wide. They also include cutting marks so riders can trim them to their preferred width (as much as 80mm shorter, as far as we can see). Ritchey has adjusted the backsweep angle based on how the bars will actually be used."
"For instance, the zero-rise bar features 7° of backsweep, while both the 20mm and 40mm riser versions bump up to 8°. This complements the more upright riding position that typically comes with higher bars."
"Ritchey designed the carbon construction to keep weight down while maintaining the structural requirements for the XC to trail mountain bike use each would see - more carbon layers and more weight for the higher bars. So in the end, the different rise options can also aid riders in finding their perfect fit for dialing in comfort and control for their type of riding."
