WS - Low Flare Top Shelf Handlebar System

The perfect handlebar for all-day comfort and control, now with road style drops (10 deg flare versus the original 25 deg). The Top Shelf Low Flare Handlebar gives you an ultra-comfortable upright riding position with 50 or 70mm (2 or 2.75in) of rise, easy reach to the drops, and extensive bar space to mount anything you need for your on- and off-road adventures.

The patent-pending design features a unique double-bar construction, which allows for easy, secure mounting of bags and accessories. Configure the perfect set-up for anything from an afternoon gravel adventure to an epic multi-day bikepacking trip.

KEY Handlebar Features:

• RISE - 50 or 70mm (2 or 2.75in) of rise creates a more upright and comfortable riding position without the use of a highly angled stem or excessive headset spacers. This allows riders to achieve a more upright, relaxed fit while maintaining traditional drop-bar bike geometry.
• CONTROL - Take advantage of the drops. The higher positioning of the drops provides a comfortable and secure hand position, giving you control to navigate rough terrain and steep descents. This keeps your body weight centered, while reducing neck and back strain. 
• BACKSWEEP - 7° degrees of backsweep orients the bar where your hands want to be. Whether you're on the flats, the hoods, or the drops, you’re getting an ergonomic position for your most epic gravel rides.
• ROAD STYLE FLARE - 10° degrees of flare and a compact drop means a stable, aerodynamic drop position that is actually comfortable enough to use on your longest road or gravel ride. 
• FULL RANGE OF WIDTHS -  41, 44, 47, 50, and 53cm widths.
• STORAGE - the unique double-bar construction provides room for all of your bar-mounted accessories. Mount our custom-fitted Top-Shelf Handlebar Bag securely, without flopping around like they do on a standard handlebar.
• Perfect for road, gravel, bikepacking, and commuting. 

Why 10 degrees of Flare?

Because it's the right balance between classic dropbar shaping and the ergonomic + comfort advantages of flare. A small amount of flare on performance road bike bars is quickly becoming a very popular option for this very reason.

To get even more comfort and performance out of your Top Shelf Handlebar, add the ergonomic Cruise Control Grip System.

Finally, the new Top Shelf Handlebar Bag is custom-designed with dual straps to attach rigidly to the double-decker bar construction, and reinforced side panels support all of your gear without sagging or bouncing.

Add a bike computer mount (compatible with Garmin and Wahoo computers), that sits on top of the bag in an ideal location just in front of the stem.
