Road Bike
Handlebars

The handlebar is one of the most vital parts of your road bike, although admittedly - every component of a road bike plays an important part. Handlebars are however one of the main contact points between you & the bike, alongside the pedals and saddle.

Alongside being an important contact point, the handlebar on your road bike is key to providing handling performance, alongside a comfortable fit and feel for you on the bike. The handlebar of a road bike is also one of the most upgraded parts, there’s a lot of aftermarket road bike handlebars to choose from, and it’s also an easy way of adding more carbon fibre to your bike.

The best road bike handlebar for you, may take some finding - but once you have found it, will provide a smooth transition between the drops, hoods and the top of the handlebar - allowing you to descend in the most comfortable position, with plenty of control over the brakes.

There’s also been a shift in the industry, from only providing race focussed bars which stretched a rider out, to now also catering for endurance focussed riders - who want to be able to ride comfortably, so there’s more handlebars than ever now which focus on the everyday cyclist.

Trends do however, continue to change - with handlebar manufacturers now introducing flare handlebars - which is a trend also seen on gravel bikes. Those looking for road bike handlebars, will surely be tempted by carbon fibre handlebars, the full range of which can be found here.
