Does this bar exist?

I currently have a rather nice ritchey venturemax bar in 46 wide.

Im considering either another one for use on the road bike or trying out a different bar and swapping around etc

Been browsing for another bar, does this specc or close to it exist anywhere?

Max drop, 100mm
Max reach 75mm
Width, at least 50cm
Flare, at least 24 deg

So, wide like walmer but shallow like a venturemax

Shame that ritchey stopped the beacon at 46cm,

Ta :grin:

I went looking at the Bike Packing.com's list of flared drop bars
https://bikepacking.com/index/gravel-bars/
and the closest that I could see was the Curve Walmer bar.
Surprised that Spank did not go with a 50 cm wide bar.
This site lists a 52 cm Spank 25 deg bar

Good luck in the search

Both too deep for me

I guess the ritchey beacon will be wider in the drops

I think I did, but promptly forgot.

Im now torn between the width at the hoods with the xl or the width at the drops with the beacon.
