Tom Ritchey has been riding off-road for decades, long before the terms "gravel riding" or "bikepacking" became popular, and he has designed products for such adventures. His experiences are directly reflected in every Ritchey product, such as the popular VentureMax handlebar. With its short reach, shallow drop, and targeted flare, the original VentureMax offers comfort and confidence for many riders looking to enjoy dirty drop bar adventures.

The new generation of the WCS VentureMax is also influenced by these experiences and adds some new features to continue inspiring riders to explore gravel and other adventures on mixed surfaces. Aero-shaped 38x22.5 mm ergonomic tops provide a more comfortable hand position, while the drilling for a Shimano EW-RS910 junction box enhances the adaptability of the WCS VentureMax.

Multiple hand positions are key to comfort and confidence on every ride, and the WCS VentureMax offers many options, especially with its wide 24-degree flare at the drops. The return of the bio-bend in the drop adds another practical and comfortable design element, regardless of the terrain you ride on and how long your adventure lasts.
