SAN CARLOS, Calif. – March 2, 2010 -Ritchey Design, Inc., a leading developer and manufacturer of high-quality road and mountain bike components, today announced its new World Championship Series (WCS) Alloy and Carbon Curve Bars are available to consumers through independent bicycle dealers nation-wide.
Sporting a compact drop of only 128 millimeters, the WCS Curve Bars let riders set up for aggressive positioning in both the drops and tops, while maintaining a low stack height.

Other features include sanded stem and brake level mount sections for improved grip and, like most of Ritchey handlebars, are compatible with triathlon clip-on bars.
Enthusiasts will see the WCS Curve Bars in action throughout the race season (see past press release here) as Ritchey-sponsored United Healthcare Men’s Pro Cycling Team presented by Maxxis will be riding a combination of Ritchey Classic, Curve, Logic II and the soon to-be-released Evolution Curve Bars.

The company is well-known for its technical merits through attention to detail during the product design phase, resulting in high-quality, reasonably priced road and mountain bike components.
