Integrated cockpits used to mean choosing between weight savings and serviceability — go one-piece carbon and you locked yourself into a specific routing system. The Ritchey Superlogic Butano Ridge takes a more flexible approach. Cable routing is internal in the top of the bar, but never actually goes inside the stem, so cables are relatively easy to manage and can be used with a variety of setups — fully-internal, semi-internal, and conventional external routing. That makes it a one-piece carbon cockpit you can actually live with day to day.

The bar shape is built around Ritchey's Butano gravel geometry, refined for the integrated platform. You get 17.5° of flare to the drops from the hoods plus another 2° at the flat ends of the drops, 5° of backsweep on the flattened aero tops, and Ritchey's classic compact round bend with 73mm of reach and 115mm of drop. The flare opens your chest in the drops for descending control without going so wide that the hoods feel awkward, and the backsweep on the tops lets you tuck your elbows in for long climbs or headwind sections.
