SuperLogic Carbon 2X Handlebar

Cruising around and trying to find that just-right handlebar can be an exercise in frustration. Ritchey knows this, which is why the company offers no fewer than 27 — yes, that's twenty seven — different handlebar models. On the market for a average-to-semi-wide width, unidirectional finish carbon bar weighing in as light as possible that can be mounted with a five-millimeter rise OR fall with a nine degree sweep? Well hey, here you go: it's the Ritchey SuperLogic Carbon 2X Handlebar.

Ritchey's SuperLogic 2X handlebar features a broad 680mm stance. Pretty impressive considering that its weight comes in around a feather-light 155g. We'll tell you with confidence that you'd be hard pressed to find another bar with this pedigree. Even more difficult is to find one with a remotely close stiffness-to-weight ratio. This is due to Ritchey's proprietary resin system that increases both rigidity and fatigue life as the grams decrease. This is an obvious perk, but the proof is in the pudding — or in this case, the ride quality. Mating the tried-and-true SuperLogic carbon fiber construction with +/- five degrees of rise and nine degrees of sweep, Ritchey created a heightened level of comfort for tall head tube frames. The rise is low enough to keep you aggressively positioned, while the carbon absorbs trail chatter and vibration. End result? A handlebar that's equally as race-ready as it is practical. No more sacrifices.

And expanding the SuperLogic's versatility is a new feature to the 2X design. This allows you to run the bar with either a positive five millimeter rise, or a negative five millimeter fall, while maintaining the same nine degrees of sweep. So, you can aggressively position yourself for XC on Saturday, and flip the bars over for comfortable handling on an all-mountain Sunday.

The Ritchey SuperLogic 2X Handlebar is available in the color Black and in a 680mm width. It has +/- five degrees of rise and nine degrees of sweep. Please note that this handlebar is only compatible with 31.8mm clamp diameter stems.
