There are 250g aluminium bars for well under £100. That's true of all carbon bars, of course, but nevertheless weight would have to matter to you quite a lot to drop £220 on a carbon bar, if a lower gram count were all it offered. On the surface, this is a conventional carbon fibre bar, insofar as a component that is still fairly uncommon can be seen as 'conventional' it's not like you find carbon bars as standard equipment till you get to fairly spendy bikes.Īnd let's get it out of the way now - this is an expensive handlebar. What's cool about this bar is the Isozone foam inserts on the tops and in the drops that improve comfort. At 169g Bontrager's Race X Lite Isozone bar is light, even for a carbon fibre bar, but weight is not the heart of the story here.
