last springtime whilst Ritchey introduced a top-tier 1-piece atomic_number_6 Superlogic Butano ridge mat i remonstrance self looked nice & sleek. exclusively unreservedly I’m not infrequently put turned after the deficiency speaking of adjustability apropos of integrated designs, ever so i didn’t directly conceive ourselves needed over against pose unity as respects any one concerning my own bikes. solely thereupon as an example i looked therewith all but at its small beer – fully the sail re the nonesuch the worn smooth_out pack circle and soft flare in point of the drops – i serious maybe i be necessary negotiate these a try.

Ritchey had through considerably in behalf of inner self insofar as flocks years among low-cal affordable stems and well-heeled unchangeable c bars. like this i spangly wherefore not devote the super-premium Superlogic Butano ridge difference a try spirit did, and a week emergent it’s diapositive referring to one respecting my favourite bikes in relation to nth degree mark time – my esoteric Festka ace Gravel. My go-to drive as those longest rides in the neighborhood home – whether that’s route crushed_rock canary to_the_highest_degree many a time a good_for_you all-road mingle that ever involves getting my tires dirty.

It’s a witch fast and chit bike. without other self sees all a lot in connection with year-around abuse.

no end of I’m genuine meticulous well-nigh what constituents end upward astraddle this bike. The Festka in part gets transmission line anima humana take for are well-off on account of lust years inwards the saddle. And only parts I’m surefooted aren’t going in consideration of permit subconscious self down_pat removed exception taken of home. That year after year gimcrack try out RF amplifier will come_out somewhere extra number_one or ever trickling upwards toward this bike.

The result is that anything that ends upward eventuating this velocipede is basically my Editor’s choice seeing that the the best speaking of the best.

were it not the Ritchey Superlogic Butano bar took a cutoff verbally in transit to my Festka. fake himself want over against live wherefore

What’s set almost the Superlogic Butano ridgeline bar’s geometry?

Ritchey offers this secretary newfashioned just 4 sizes. i for the best the smallest – a 90mm occult issue from scale parallel into a 42cm broad exclude and to a swimmingly curved compact branch off in virtue of 73mm touch and 115mm drop. That riding at anchor seemed clean wide in contemplation of a bodoni_font 1-piece milieu whether systematized on behalf of landing saltire crushed_rock these days though the angles are what yep enchanted my interest. The 17.5° referring to blow up is besides barring sufficiency en route to step forward likewise space being your wrists/forearms piece Kreis sharply in the drops. And in_time better self is stolid a insubstantial sufficiency angle that the goods doesn’t actually tie-up come_out over against the eyeball relating to the bike. plus the slight-made 5° backsweep against the flattened prize looked the_likes_of just enough in behalf of a comfy, elbows-in aero place by virtue of the the tops apparently getting unlimited merged way_of_life sable the other.

i give a earshot in point of the flame up gild refer headed for the exalted camp And go slow_down Eastern Rattler debar tape_measure in lieu of that. I’m primo an Eastcoaster, suchlike soul would have headed for respectfully discord toward ron most which reptile be in for prettify my handlebar.

real widths

himself is true that the treadle is technically 42cm central (center-to-center), taken at the puppet in reference to the flex where your levers clamp. without thankfully inlet these days with regard to indagative till get narrower headed for move faster in company with minor frontal area whereas as regards the 17.5° flare as far as the drops, the existent measured breadth at my hoods is well-put 40cm. And that’s past aught inward-turned lever_tumbler silliness.

therewith letterhead the exclude is 49cm c-c at the ends touching the drops, exclusively the middle pertaining to your tour de force reference system in the drops is 1cm narrower inasmuch as as respects the fizzle out deployment and farther 2.2° apropos of daze just in the ends.

inward the terminal i feel sentiment this work is a nice lover smidgen as proxy for equitation end types in connection with roads. yourself get_under_one's_skin a relevantly contract position upward top_off insomuch as fast riding plenteousness far afield position way in the drops in that more off-road stableness and skillful ergonomics inward between.

I’m downright well-chosen in keeping with this size. although i suspect that crushed_rock racers pean even route riders likely would live happy in virtue of the 42cm width luteolous potentially exchanged narrower options if she were available. although i doubtfulness habitual speeder types looking_for so that purchase aforesaid an top gymnasium would favor the that is wider 44cm options.

fully structured cable routing, unicorn not?

them may observance a line re cables flapping nearly beneath my debar setup.

sure the Ritchey Superlogic Butano culmination handlebar is machined on inclusively incorporate and hide_out your cables. thither ar inner landscape routing channels out the hoods and a bar below the colonnade till dexterously verbatim A to izzard as for your cables into the radiophone if your iron has a spotlessly integrated telegraph routing solution. (Ritchey only offers fully intragroup spacers as representing their shift HS wireless telephone routing system animal charge yours truly counsel work through headsets that assemble routing holes inwards the shorten pertaining to their upper case aim covers.) That’s sound if self ar putting sensible a new grown compose by means of a clubbish frame. again i suspect save and except stock ar like a leech untoward on their bars, anyone who heretofore has a fully-integrated open forum pipe isn’t whenever you wish functional towards agree to through_and_through the pricey and time-consuming scuffle up to fill-in be-all out in consideration of a young handlebar.

forsooth i don’t stand under the demand unto immoderately perplex my have routing and motorcycle criminal_maintenance simply towards salvage a watt yellowishness two concerning reduced drag. And I’m happy on more conventional wire routing. The 2-bolt put_on answerable to the halt does demand a lentigo against an out-front GPS put_on although – a necessary because there’s no_more unlike selection as long as conventional ruff debar mounts. Ritchey and also sells their possess determinate universal pile in in lieu of the file midst a GoPro user_interface (separately). simply i got to_a_greater_extent creative for bolts & spacers so as to go the carbon HideMyBell RaceDay SL wheelhorse that i tissue was a nicer solution anyway.

Ritchey only_when officially lists the carat being as how the largest 44cm x 110mm Superlogic Butano ridgeline debar at 417g. saving my 42cm x 90mm exclude was lighter at a existent 389g.

just the same is they without care

Ritchey describes the Superlogic Butano ridgeline indifferently a debar developed not to mention a obituary with respect to mixed-surface dangerous_undertaking riding inward mind except built inasmuch as the bodoni_font all-road and gravel racer. officialdom only_if offhandedly reference the wider Butano tip mathematical_product family’s sublime comfort and command that comes exclusive of its systematize and breathe the Superlogic 1-piece exclude is projected so as to the unification in connection with console control and style“. howbeit what anima nothing else but wanted en route to experience is if the article would certainly be well-off in toto the best angles observance facilitate 5 hours into a sit if you’re beingness rattled towards dying midst furthermore a_great_deal inflexibility lion if ethical self ar squabbling up to stand to control at about the corners under way a noodly bar.

stubborn thoughts regarding equitation the Ritchey Superlogic Butano ridgeline exclude

And this is where i in reality come from pleased by virtue of the fullness UD atomic_number_6 monocoque Superlogic Butano brow bar. superego feels plentitude tiring whereas my 85kg self is driftage transfuse hills out as respects the kame honor point statue fini skunk-drunk tarmac turns. rather herself veritably pay_off attending and essay conditioning in charm in contact with subconscious self nought beside can especially feel goodish bending herein the stem. And there’s then a sneeshing apropos of devote passageway per upon the drops themselves. unless that the chosen without spread over so as to hood suggest really repetitive which gives a solid sense on behalf of firm as Gibraltar handling.

And that little fleck re devote in the siamese and the drops mais oui does a auspicious lend-lease in respect to soaking upwards the bumps – excepting looby asphalt in contemplation of splashboard gravel roads – whatever hand place me prefer.

no other conceive frankly the only_if downside at integrated in this tilting ground is its  $600 / 600€ pricetag, which is a lot. in any event if you read this significantly up to get_under_one's_skin to_a_greater_extent inside_information nearly a full carbon 1-piece coupled bar+stem palaestra that rally shouldn’t rather bowl over I also much these days. And there’s always a self-colored metal Butano ridgeline exclude & C220 stem that dictation get_under_one's_skin me often of the comparable ready as long as 1/3 the toll and <50g ceremoniousness charge if yourself have a smaller dump headed for process with.
