SCHMOLKE Carbon Fiber Handlebars (Please contact us to confirm price and availability) The world's lightest road race handlebars, available in either 40, 42, 44 or 46 cm, measured from the outsides of the tubes. The handlebars' diameter for the stem clamping is 26 mm, for stems from 25.8 mm to 26.2 mm. Recently there has been a trend toward over-sized handlebars with diameters of 31.7 mm or 31.8 mm. This increase in diameter is meant to increase stiffness of aluminium bars, something not at all necessary with carbon fibre bars, which are four times as stiff as aluminium. The Tri handlebars have an extra radial layer of carbon fiber, allowing the clamping of aero bars. This version weighs 12 grams more than the road bars. Together with our sister brand, Schmolke Titan, we have helped to establish an ambitious amateur racing team in the area of Frankfurt. Many pros have also chosen our handlebars when an important race or a mountain stage is at stake. Jan Ullrich, Tyler Hamilton, Jorg Jaksche, Laurent Dufaux, Fabio Salvodelli, and Leontien van Morsel are a few. 130 to 155 grams |
