Ritchey Classic El Camino Handlebar

The El Camino is built for versatility. Its geometry is optimized for gravel, adventure riding, and urban commuting, offering an upright, comfortable position that helps reduce fatigue on longer rides.

The El Camino features a standard 31.8mm clamp diameter, which is compatible with the vast majority of modern stems found on gravel, mountain, and hybrid bikes.

The significant 35-degree backsweep places your wrists in a more natural, neutral angle compared to traditional flat bars. This reduces strain on your joints and provides a relaxed, upright posture, though it will feel different if you are accustomed to a standard mountain bike bar.

Yes, the bar is designed with a 22.2mm diameter at the ends, which is the industry standard for mountain bike shifters, brake levers, and grips.

While 750mm provides excellent leverage and stability, it is quite wide for tight urban spaces. If you find it too wide for your specific commute, the alloy construction allows it to be trimmed down to your preferred width using a standard hacksaw or pipe cutter.
