Ritchey, the legendary bicycle component company by Tom Ritchey

The “WCS Butano V2” is an aluminum drop bar characterized by its perfectly balanced drop flare, shallow drop, and short reach.

About 50 years ago, Tom Ritchey, his mentor Jobst Brant, and a group of like-minded friends rode countless adventure rides on the remote trails and rough gravel roads around Butano State Park in Northern California.

The pioneering riding style developed there serves as the inspiration for the Butano handlebar.

Features such as internal routing and the ergonomic aero top section on the upper part of the handlebars maximize comfort.

The drop flare features a generous 18° angle and a shallow drop, delivering superior control on both paved roads and gravel.

The handlebars are crafted from lightweight, high-stiffness triple-butted 6066 alloy.
