Ritchey Superlogic Carbon Butano Ridge Gravel & Road Handlebar with Internal Routing

Experience the perfect blend of innovation, comfort, and control with the Ritchey Superlogic Carbon Butano Ridge Handlebar. Crafted from monocoque carbon fiber, this handlebar is designed for riders who demand precision and durability on gravel and road terrains alike. Inspired by the rugged trails of Northern California’s Butano State Park and refined with modern technology, it offers a shallow drop, short reach, and a subtle flare that enhances both ergonomics and aesthetics. Whether you’re tackling rough gravel roads or smooth tarmac, this handlebar adapts seamlessly to your ride.

The integrated bar and stem combo is not only lightweight at 417g but also features complete internal cable routing, ensuring a clean, aerodynamic profile. This is complemented by a removable cable cover on the underside of the bar, which facilitates easy maintenance and allows for the addition of integrated accessory mounts. The Butano Ridge’s compact bend shape and ergo aero top section provide a natural hand position, reducing fatigue during long adventures and improving overall ride comfort.

Designed with versatility in mind, the Superlogic Butano Ridge handlebar pays homage to the pioneering spirit of gravel and road cycling. Its modest 17.5° drop flare and 5° backsweep strike the perfect balance between aggressive control and relaxed riding posture. Compatible exclusively with Ritchey’s Switch headset, this handlebar is engineered to meet the demands of modern cyclists who seek performance without compromise.
