Ritchey Comp Butano Handlebar

The Butano shape features a shallow drop and a slight flare, which provides a more stable and comfortable hand position when riding in the drops. It is designed to improve control on gravel descents while remaining ergonomic for long road rides.

This handlebar uses a standard 31.8mm clamp diameter, which is the industry standard for almost all modern road and gravel stems. As long as your stem is designed for 31.8mm bars, it will be compatible.

A 40cm width is generally considered a narrower setup, which can help with aerodynamics and a more compact riding position. It is best suited for riders with narrower shoulders or those who prefer a more agile, responsive steering feel.
