Good bars with wings

On: 2009-11-07

I like the shape these bars have, they are definitely better than regular bars comfort wise. They were reasonably priced, not super heavy, and look good also.

Not the bars fault but accessories are forced up against the stem, headlight mounting is a challenge. I never use the drops except on descent, and they work fine. I like the width as well.

You have to understand that these bars are more limited in mount position tahn regular round ones, if they are uncomfortable when the wings are positioned right, there is less adjustment available to compensate. Just be aware of this going in so there are no unforeseen surprises.

For the money, these are the best handlebars on the market - flat top design, ergonomic/anatomic design for better comfort, 46cm (C-C) width which is hard to find, but incredibly more comfortable than the smaller sizes. However, IRD needs a polished silver version!!!
