Gravel drop bars Carbon Road Bike Handlebars RXL SL Carbon Handlebars Road Bike Handlebars 31.8 Drop Bars Handlebars Black UD Glossy Drop 123mm Reach 77mm External Cables 31.8x400mm

Lightweight inexpensive carbon road bar with nice tight 90 degree bend from top to curve section which I wanted so I could use the full width. Also has a tight radius curve to relatively straight drops that makes mounting brake hoods at just the right angle and position a challenge. The white marks are located too low on curve to be useful in mounting brakes. Also wish the circular mid section of top was a bit wider before going to oval with cable relief to attach phone holder and speedometer. They end up mounting slightly crooked even when as close to the stem as possible.

The specs listed 180 grams for the 42 cm bars. My 40 cm bars weighed in at 181 grams. I like that the surface is rough where the brake levers and stem attach which reduces slippage. Excellent bars at a great price.

I was spooked by the installation instructions and the look of the shipping wrap. The bubble wrap on the bars was cut on one side with some carbon fiber dust around the cut. Then I re-read the installation note and it said not(NOT) to install on an alloy stem. I was putting these bars on my old steel framed criterium bike to reduce the road vibration. The bike has an alloy stem so the bars went back. Bummed. Didn’t want to chance the damage or contrary installation.

Ok, these bars surprised me. They are obviously way, way cheaper than popular brands. However, I’v been mostly happy with them.The bars seem to be very strong. They are very stiff and very light. My set weighed around 200g. The aluminum bars I replaced weighed about 300g. 100g isn’t a lot but it’s 30% lighter than aluminum, which is impressive. I didn’t buy them for the weight savings. I bought them because my aluminum bars broke off on the left side drop while I was riding because of corrosion.They have an aero-ish profile. They transition from round to oval as you move from the hoods in toward the stem and then round out again at the stem.Two things I noticed that were different from my aluminum bars: 1) they seemed a bit narrower, even in the same size, because of the design choice to shorten the top tube and flare out the drops. I guess the drops match the stated width but the result it feeling a bit more cramped in the top. 2) the tube diameter on the drops is smaller than the aluminum and it was noticeable right away. Also, while riding I can tell there is more concentrated pressure when sprinting and it can cause fatigue on longer rides.

Overall, I am pretty happy. They are light, fairly comfortable and what I expected. I few things to note before ordering. The 44cm is actually 42 at the hoods. There is a slight flare that gets the ends to 44 cm. The drops are a little flexy so a crit rider may not want them. I haven't tried but it feels like if I really ripped up and down from the drops they may break.

I am happy with the purchase, but handlebars are so basic its hard to say much. The price was reasonable and availability during covid-times was not an issue. The portion of the finish not covered by handlebar looks nice. The bar section on the top of the bars is comfortable if you want to ride with your hands placed there.

These were an exact replacement for my stock Felt bars, exact same bend and drop. much more flexy than the aluminum ones, but I did want more comfort. Don't really notice it on the road and about 70g lighter.

The seller sent the handlebars very quickly and professionally boxed. The handlebars are carbon and have friction surfaces for the stem and shifter/brake mounting points. Fit and finish is good and the drop and reach match the description. I do like the drop profile and contour but that is personal preference.

Lo compre para ponerselo a una bicicleta que uso para el rodillo y en ocasiones salir a carretera.El manubrio es muy ligero y de buena calidad. no he tenido ningun problema con el, se siente lo suficientemente rigido para hacer sprint sin ningun problema.
