The Ritchey WCS Beacon rewrites the rules of road handlebar ergonomics. Extreme flare, a shallow drop and expedition-tuned geometry – a combination that will change how you see long miles in the saddle.

A massive drop flare delivers exceptional stability off-road and with a fully loaded bike, while also creating generous space for bulky bikepacking bags. - Lightning-fast, comfortable grip changes
A shallow 80 mm drop combined with a shorter reach and ergonomic Evo-style shaping on the tops allows natural, quick hand-position changes without losing control of the bike.
