UPANBIKE25.4mm Bike Handlebar 420mm Length Fixed Gear Bike Handlebar Drop Bar Bent Handlebar Aluminum Alloy

Great!

I wouldn’t recommend this style for a gravel bike build, but if you have a small frame compared to your body or are making a road bike adjustment it will be good. The bars are even and I have no complaints for the quality. They are just very old school in their reach on the tops.

I thought I’d try this unique bar shape to get more forward room and extend my arms out. It has some elements of a touring bar- flat across then a tight 90 degree bend. The difference lies in how far forward the downward curve begins. This translates to lots of options for hands on bar positions.That’s the good part. If you intend to use the drops you’ll quickly discover the drops are curved in such a way that unless your elbows are quite bent, you can’t settle into the flat part of the drops without hitting your forearms on the bar above. It’s just all wrong in the execution.What also made me return it is the bar diameter didn’t match my stem. I removed a 25.4 mm Cinelli bar from my Cinelli stem, only to find the clamp barely had any force on this bar. I would have to over torque it just to close the clamp on it. Not on a nice stem, made with tight tolerances. Put the Cinelli bar back on.In addition, be aware the 90 degree bend will use more cable length when changing from a normally curved bar in the same width. It may prevent your brake/shift cables from having enough reach to the front caliper and frame cable stops.So I pulled it off and sent back.Could have been much better but it’s those pesky details!!

Decent bars for the money. They have a long reach so take that into consideration with your stem length. For me, they placed my shifters a little too far forward. Comfort in the drops is not as good as you would think. I just can’t seem to find a comfortable hand position down there. Not a huge deal, but it doesn’t make me want to stay in a tucked position for long,
