Comp Skyline Handlebar
Description
The new Skyline bar design's the latest result of Tom Ritchey'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. The Skyline has been optimized for road cycling, with several of the ergonomic features most popular on various previous Ritchey road bars. Featuring ergonomic tops and an anatomical bend shape, the new 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. One key aspect of he Skyline is that its reach and drop vary depending on the width of the bar - offering true ergonomic consistency across all sizes. This combination makes the Skyline the most ergonomic Ritchey road bar on offer and realistically can work for many riders of Ritchey's previous road bars. Made with double-butted 6061 aluminum alloy, the Comp Skyline is stiff and responsive, with precise relationships with the different features from side-to-side. Measured center-to-center at the lever mount zone, the Skyline is offered in 5 widths, and is 31.8mm compatible for accessories across a wide enough are to mount aero clip-on bars if desired. The ergonomic bar does have a 4 degree backsweep, and a 5 degree drop flare, without an outward flare.
