Best road bike handlebars: Fine-tune your bike's front end for comfort and performance whatever your budget... cycling
Ergonomic drops fit your palms perfectlyCould be too wide for some
The width and comfort mean you get loads of control from the drops – perfect for hardcore descending over surfaces.If you want oodles of extreme terrain, high- and low-speed control, super-comfortable grip, loads of luggage space, and all at a sharp price, the Ritchey Comp Venturemax XL could be the answer.
Reach is the horizontal distance that the handlebar extends forwards from the stem clamp area. A longer reach pulls you further forward. Most road handlebars have just a small flare or none at all. On the other hand, gravel and adventure handlebars have a large flare to provide extra stability and control when you're using the drops.
Bear in mind that it can be difficult to fit some lights, computer mounts and so on to the non-round sections of bars, although it's usually possible right next to the clamping area.The tops of most handlebars head out at right angles to the stem but others sweep forwards or backwards.
