Ritchey Classic Corralitos Handlebar

The drops run a lengthy 180mm for leverage and control when you need it, and the 24° drop flare pushes your hands wider at the lowest grip point — steadier on rough terrain and a bit more open through the chest. There's also 12° of flare-out at the bar ends and 5° of backsweep worked into the top.

What sets the Corralitos apart from most drop bars is how little it changes your fit. With a 52mm reach and 67.5mm drop, it offers the shortest reach and smallest drop available in an alloy bar, so you can add drops to a bike that was never designed for them without ending up stretched out and low. If you're converting a flat-bar bike or just want the hood-and-drop control of a road cockpit without the road position, this is the bar that makes it work.

Construction is double-butted 6061 alloy in Ritchey's high-polish silver finish, with a round top section that takes standard bar tape and a 31.8mm clamp. The 31.8mm accessory-mount diameter gives you room for lights, computers, and bags along the tops. It plays nicely with a clean cockpit too — the bar is compatible with the Shimano EW-RS910 junction box and pairs with Ritchey's C260 stem.
