An integrated carbon fiber monocoque bar and stem combination that offers complete internal cable/wire/hose routing for modern gravel and road bike frames. – Ritchey Logic
“Ritchey, the original Northern Californian component and frame manufacturer, has just released the latest version of its fast gravel bars, the SuperLogic Butano Ridge handlebar. The new bar is the answer to demands by adventurous riders calling for a carbon fiber version of Ritchey’s popular Butano range.”
“The SuperLogic Butano Ridge takes its design cues from Ritchey’s road combo bars, SoloStreem and MonoCurve. Yet the SuperLogic Butano Ridge features a deliberate monocoque shape for integrating stem and bar and accommodating the rider’s choice of internal routing system. The bar’s underside reveals a removable cable cover for easy access to cable routing, and then doubles its duty with an adaptor (included) to receive an integrated accessory mount (sold separately). The SuperLogic Butano Ridge Bar joins the Switch family of components to meet today’s world of integrated, internally routed bikes.”
“What makes the SL Butano Ridge really stand out is the integrated stem with an 80º angle. A lot of thought went into the bar’s tilt to make sure that the top section would be comfortable and would also provide a smooth lateral transition from the top to the hoods for maximal comfort. The bar is available in various size options (depending on market).”
“Ritchey bar shapes command special attention and Tom himself dedicates hours to designing bars that deliver useful characteristics to the rider. For instance, the SL Butano Ridge bar’s ergo-aero shape features a distinct flattened round design to fill the rider’s hands while being a bit aerodynamic. The bar also offers a comfortable resting place for the hands.”
“Another standout feature is of course, its weight, which tips the scale at a lean 417g for 44cm bars with a 110mm stem. Subtle features that also mark the difference are a 17.5º drop flare and a matte UD carbon finish.”
“With a nod to the boundaryless spirit of inspired off-road rides and a wink to today’s tarmac disciples, the SuperLogic Butano Ridge refuses to get pinned to a single cycling discipline. After all, the union of comfort, control, and style knows no limits. And neither should your rides.”
