Drop

Having banked several decades of riding at least 10,000 miles per year, and still doing so, Tom has logged lots of hands-on (excuse the pun) time pondering handlebar design. And the new WCS Skyline bar is the latest result of Tom’s never-ending quest to bring the best product designs to demanding riders everywhere so that they may enjoy every pedal stroke as much as he does. Made from triple-butted 7050-T6 alloy and featuring ergonomic tops and an anatomical bend shape, the new WCS Skyline is designed for amazing road riding experiences but also shines along cyclocross courses and anywhere else you would want a comfortable and confident drop bar. Bolstering the multiple hand positions offered by the tops and anatomical bend is the shorter reach and more shallow drop of the Skyline. But the key to the sublime ergonomics of the Skyline is its progressive reach and drop depending on the width of the bar - offering true ergonomic consistency across all sizes. This combination makes the WCS Skyline the most ergonomic Ritchey road bar on offer.

Contact points—those spots where our bodies meet our bikes—are crucial areas for comfort and control. Get it wrong, and even the best bikes can be miserable to ride. We developed the new Terra handlebar to be the paragon of comfort, control, and performance, with an optimized blend of carbon fiber and advanced construction techniques yielding exceptional ride comfort, precise handling, and class-leading strength at an impressively low weight. A shallow drop and moderate reach combine with a 12-degree flare for optimal all-terrain comfort and control. - Optimized blend of high modulus carbon fiber materials and advanced construction techniques yield a light and confident bar - Ergonomic top perch alleviates pressure on the hands - Bar flared 12 degrees at the drops for added stability - Bend: 103mm drop x 70mm reach

In terms of both comfort and performance, anywhere that your body touches the bike is of the utmost importance. That's why we designed the Hover Alloy Handlebars to excel on both fronts. Starting with the construction, they're made from our Premium Butted Aluminum for a nice overall weight and high rigidity. And for comfort, much of it boils down to fit. Along these lines, they feature a shallow drop & bend that's extremely comfortable, while they also have a 15mm rise to help accommodate a wide fit range. For added stability we've added 12 degrees of flare at the drop to give that wide stance. - Constructed from 6061 Butted Aluminum for a high-strength design. - 15mm rise provides a wider range of fit. - Shallow Bend Drop: 103mm drop x 70mm reach x 12d flare

The Surly Truck Stop Handlebar combines the benefits of a drop bar with those of a riser bar. Offering a variety of hand positions for comfort over the long haul, it also features 30mm of rise for a more upright and relaxed riding position. With a clean aesthetic, it’s a great option for taller riders looking for more rise and for bikes with a low-cut steer tube. - Lightweight, aluminum construction - Available in various widths - 31.8mm clamp diameter

Whisky's No.7 12F is their most versatile drop bar. It's equally at home on tarmac, gravel or twisty cyclocross courses.
