Keep the weight down without the price tag of carbon fiber.
Ritchey's WCS Logic Curve is a race-ready "compact" handlebar built from TRX50 seamless, triple butted alloy for an incredible combination of weight savings, strength and rigidity.
A shallow decreasing radius bend and shorter 128mm drop provide comfort in any hand position and easier lever operation from the drops, making the WCS Logic Curve ideal for riders with smaller hands, those running low stack headsets with few spacers, or anyone uncomfortable on a traditional "Ergo-style" bend.
Available in 40, 42 and 44cm widths (center to center). 128mm drop, 73mm reach in all widths. 31.8mm clamp diameter. BB Black finish. 237g.

Among the best of the compact ergo bars
Most experienced riders will tell you that the early ergonomic bars were anything but. The new compact bends go a long way to correcting that. The square, flat top section on top gives you lots of stable placements for the hands from the stem to the brake hoods. Similarly, the increasing radius curve of the drops provides continuous hand placements, including some that keep the control levers in reach. What distinguishes the WCS Curve from many of the others is the squareness of the drops to the tops, a shorter reach, and a slightly deeper drop. You might enjoy the more upright position this gives, or you might prefer a lower, longer stem.

Awesome bar - light, strong, stylish, comfortable.
I have this bar on my travel bike. With getting packed and tossed around in airline luggage service, I wanted the sort of bar I have on my A bike but with the durability of alloy. This bar fits the bill perfectly. It's light, strong, and comfortable. The shape of the bar makes for a nice flat transition with my DA7800 shifters. Has a nice aggressive look on the bike, and is a perfect match to the Ritchey WCS stems in the ball-burnished finish.

great bars and shape
Good, stiff bars. I purchased to get a semi-compact fit and these fit well. They are good bars with a nice curve. I would like a bit more cable guide groove.

Great Bars
I have these handlebars on both of my bikes - they are great quality and lightweight. Love the short reach and shallow drops.
