RITCHEY CLASSIC BUTANO 42 handlebar

Product description

Named after the trails behind Tom Ritchey's home, the Classic Butano handlebars were designed for the mixed-surface riding Tom is known for, yet they bring a timeless look to any ride with their high-gloss silver finish.

The Butano features a shallower drop ( 118mm ) for better reach and control, whether you're holding the handlebars in curves or by the levers. The 12° flare at the bottom has become the standard for modern road and gravel handlebars. Comfort is further enhanced by the ergonomically shaped top section with a slight 4° backsweep and short reach ( 73mm reach ).

The Butano is a classic in another sense: it doesn't offer internal cable routing, making installation and maintenance easier, yet it's compatible with Shimano's EW-RS910 drivetrain. Ready to outdo the competition on both tarmac and gravel, this handlebar delivers comfort and control in a wider range.

Main advantages
