Handlebars, Tapes and Lock-in Plugs

The bicycle handlebar is not just limited to steering. It also provides support to your body, especially when you use your bicycle for multi-day racing events or long-distance tours. In short races, your body weight is concentrated on the pedals or crankset. On one hand, when you join bike tours or long cycling events, you will rely a lot on the handlebar and saddle for support. As such, it’s important to invest in the right handlebar and handlebar accessories. 

Back in the earlier days, bars feature subtle curves and enough room for your hands. Modern bars, on the other hand come with a square design with a shorter reach. You can either choose from aluminium or carbon-fibre, depending on your budget and preference. You can also select from bike bars with different shapes, styles and sizes. 

Handlebars shopping guide

With the varying sizes, shapes and types of bike handlebars available today, how do you know which one is the right choice for you? Here are some of the main types of handlebars and their key features:

- MTB handlebar - Mountain bikes usually utilise either riser bars and flat bars. Cross country racers usually prefer using flat bars thanks to its lightweight and rigid structure. Riser bars, on one hand, is the more popular choice amongst many mountain bikers because of its upward sweep and comfortable design.

- Road bike handlebar - There are many variations of the road bar. Some models feature carbon-fibre bar and stem, while others have ergonomic shape and design. 

- Upright bars - If you prefer riding in an upward position then the upright bar is the perfect choice for you.
