Press Release: Ritchey launches Skyline Handlebar – Progressive Drop designed for Road, but great for Gravel too

ritchey skyline handlebar review

Having banked several decades of riding at least 10,000 miles per year, and still doing so, Tom has logged lots of hands-on (excuse the pun) time pondering handlebar design. And the new Skyline bar is the latest result of Tom’s never-ending quest to bring the best product designs to demanding riders everywhere so that they may enjoy every pedal stroke as much as he does.” – Ritchey Logic

Featuring ergonomic tops and an anatomical bend shape, the new Skyline is designed for amazing road riding experiences but also shines along cyclocross courses and anywhere else you would want a comfortable and confident drop bar.”

Bolstering the multiple hand positions offered by the tops and anatomical bend is the shorter reach and more shallow drop of the Skyline. But the key to the sublime ergonomics of the Skyline is that its reach and drop vary depending on the width of the bar – offering true ergonomic consistency across all sizes. This combination makes the Skyline the most ergonomic Ritchey road bar on offer.”
