A carefully designed collection of carbon road drops, cyclocross bars and our latest addition, the Gravel Bar!

Each bar features their own proprietary shape, profile and custom features. Examples include a mild aero profile road bar, a round top cross bar with twin flats underneath to create perfect comfort after they’re wrapped, and new to the line up – The Gravel bar featuring internal routing and 25 degree flare.

The updated line up features satin finish, Toray lay up and Nano Epoxy Resin for very high impact resistance.

Additional features below:

Our carbon fiber road racing handlebar features a mild wing shape on top, clamping area wide enough for aero bars, and mid-compact reach and drop. This is the modern road racing handlebar bar for the modern road bike. Our road bar wing section is small enough not to restrict hand movements when riding on the top, and allows bar angle adjustment without “locking out” your wrists. Shaping on the bottom side of the wing allows housing to be taped out of the way without the use of narrow housing channels or internal routing, both of which shorten bar life. Certified to EN, tested to DIN+.

For Cyclocross, we present the carbon CX bar. It’s the natural transition from your Thomson road bar for the ‘cross season. Twin flats on the bottom of the bar allow taping your housing to create a round bar when wrapped. The top profile is round and as wide as possible. This is the carbon fiber cyclocross handlebar built to take all the season can dish out. This allows auxiliary brake levers to be safely used and still leaves lots of room for your hands. Certified to EN, tested to DIN+.

The layup uses 3 different fiber types with different tensile strengths and tensile modulus, including High Strength carbon fiber. This helps allocate stiffness and flex where needed.

All carbon fiber is produced by Toray and uses tailor-made Nano Epoxy Resin for very high impact resistance. Toray is the main supplier of carbon fiber for Boeing and Airbus.

Both the Road and ‘Cross bar are made in one piece, not three pieces co-molded and glued together. The bars are molded over an EPS mandrel to avoid wrinkles inside the layup during molding. Most other bars are molded over inflatable nylon bladders.

Reach for the Road bike and ‘Cross bars is the same at 78.5mm. Drop is proportional. The road drops are: 40CM 137mm, 42CM 140mm, 44CM 140mm, and 46CM 143mm. The ‘cross drops are: 40CM 131mm, 42CM 133mm, and 44CM 135mm.

1.5K woven impact ends help prevent damage to unidirectional fibers from impact.

Our Downhill bar is 800mm wide with 20mm of rise, 9° of backsweep, and 5° of upsweep. It’s built using 7050 Aluminum alloy for strength and long life. 65mm wide clamping area fits our Direct Mount stem, giving you the most torsional stiffness of any bar/stem combination. 31.8 center section is absolutely straight over a width of 90mm. The long straight section in the middle reduces stress concentrations, especially when using wide Direct Mount stems.

Identical in alloy and construction to our Downhill bar, our new Trail bar is 750mm wide with 20mm of rise, 8° of backsweep, and 5° of upsweep.. The clamping area is 50mm, allowing a different bend profile for a more compliant ride. The Trail bar gives you a light aluminum all-around bar for your Mountain Bike.

Bars are butted and tapered in many steps for optimal fatigue life. Ends of the bar are thickened from 1.4 to 1.6mm to resist damage from impacts and contact with the ground.

Bars are produced by advanced Hydraulic Press Forming to avoid the need for hand grinding. Almost all other bars are manually bent, and bends are ground to appear smooth. Hydraulic Press Forming ensures very consistent wall thickness and close tolerances, especially in tapered sections. This keeps weight low and fatigue life high.

Together with a Thomson stem, this is the best aluminum cockpit you can get. It’s the perfect addition to your Elite X4 Stem or Direct Mount Stem.
