## Description

Ritchey RL1 VentureMax Road Handlebar: BB Black 44cm

## Features

- It's all in the name – this economical handlebar is made for adventure. The VentureMax is just as applicable on a cross country tour as on cross country singletrack.
- Intended to ride wider than typical drop bars, the VentureMax is measured at the initial bend rather than at the hood.
- While it boasts a number of attributes including multiple hand positions, it's the return of the Bio-bend in the drop that adds to the signature look and feel of this bar.
- Material: double-butted 6061 alloy.
- Weight: 310g.

    Not the correct photos.
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2024*

The pictures are all of bars with a flat aero top as Ritchey describes the venture max on its website. These are round tops.

    Achtung falsche Abbildung!!!
  
  

*by R***K on Reviewed in Germany on September 5, 2023*

Zum Produkt selber kann ich nichts sagen, da ich den Lenker gleich zurückgesendet habe. In den Produktbildern wird scheinbar das Nachfolgeprodukt (Venturemax V2) gezeigt und nicht der Lenker der tatsächlich geliefert wird/wurde (Venturemax V1).Der V2 hat eine flache und breite "Handauflage", so wie abgebildet und der V1 ein normales rundes Rohr..Den Rückversand muss man (bei meinem Fall/Verkäufer) selber tragen; rund 20 € weil Spanien. Das ist natürlich sehr ärgerlich wenn man sich hier nicht auf korrekte Produktabbildung verlassen kann.
