The RL1 Venturemax handlebar features a short reach, shallow drop and purposeful flare, offering comfort and confidence to legions of riders looking to settle in and have some fun on those dirty drop bar adventures. The RL1 Venturemax also delivers Ritchey’s unwavering reliability and practical performance for budget-minded riders looking for components to upgrade their current ride or to complete their next build. With its round tops, short reach, and shallow drop the RL1 Venturemax offers multiple hand positions for comfort and confidence on any ride. Bolstering its comfort and performance in the rough stuff is its wide 24-degree flare at the drops. But it’s the Bio-bend in the drop that adds yet another design element that is practical and welcome for whatever surface you choose to ride upon and for however long your adventure endures.

• A top with a traditional and minimalist shape, size and weight
