Road Bike Handlebars

Road Handlebars come in a wide range of shapes and sizes to suit everybody; bar width, reach (the amount the bar projects forward to where the levers mount) and drop (the amount the bar drops from the tops to the bottoms) are all choices dependant on rider preference. Bars with flat sections on the tops offer an aerodynamic advantage but also offer more comfort for the hands when riding on the tops. Many racers choose narrower bars to reduce aerodynamic drag. Road bar shape has also been broadly categorised into compact, traditional and ergonomic styles. Merlin stock the world’s leading road handlebars from 3T, Deda, Enve, Easton, Ritchey and others.
