Matrix Technology: Ritchey has broken new ground by merging carbon and alloy - two dissimilar materials - into a union that strengthens both to a level well beyond their original state. Ritchey Matrix carbon alloy is the refinement of this exciting new material science.

Weighing just 260g for a 42cm bar) and available in 40, 42 and 44cm. 31.8mm (O/S) clamp only.

By fusing a carbon exterior to a 3D-Net forged alloy inner form, the strength and durability of the component is increased by as much as 300%. This means a component that is considerably tougher than carbon, but also resists fatigue better than a pure alloy component. With Matrix carbon alloy technology, the whole truly is greater than the sum of the parts.

Matrix carbon alloy technology produces a road bar with an unheard of strength:weight ratio. TRX-50 alloy inner form is combined with a carbon shell for exceptional toughness and strength. Logic = Ergonomic shape and R50 bend for more comfort and hand positions. Extended 31.8 centre section is compatible with clip-on bars. 135mm drop.  260g (42cm).
