Ritchey's WCS Trail series of components are fast becoming ubiquitous offroad. Made for greater strength, with only a slight weight penalty and more trail oriented than the standard XC-level WCS components. By offering the WCS Carbon Trail Flat Handlebar with a plus/minus 5mm rise/drop and a 740mm width, Ritchey puts you in control. The set-up favors 29er use, delivering steering leverage and subtle bike fit options that are desirable on big-wheel hardtail or short travel full suspension bikes. With a 9mm back sweep and 180 gram weight, this is an ideal trail bar.

Made from UD carbon fiber with a monocoque construction process, the WCS Carbon Trail Flat Handlebar has a great stiffness level under load, but offers slight flex at hard impact and is effective at filtering out trial vibration. The 31.8mm stem clamp interface is plenty wide for strength and stiffness, but tapers off so that you have plenty of room for the cockpit controls. This handlebar is not compatible with bar ends. The Matte UD carbon finish goes with anything and looks great. The bold WCS and Trail mirrored-effect logos ensure you can show off your brand loyalty whether you run your bar in a plus 5mm or -5mm configuration.
