The Radavist

Tyler from BTCHN Bikes has a pre-order running for his titanium bullmoose bars ($480) he debuted at this year’s MADE Bike Show on his Geoshift hardtail. When John saw them, he had to have them and forked out some cash to take a pair home. We’ve got a review coming up next week but we wanted to alert our readership that they do indeed rule, offer just the right amount of flex, without being too springy, plus look the part, even mimicking Tom Ritchey’s OG Bullmoose with just the right amount of shaping/ovalizing on the twin struts.

Specs:

• Made in Chico, CA
• 800mm
• 13° of backsweep
• 50mm effective stem length
• Weight 493 grams
• Pre Order closes Oct 5th. Bars will ship Oct 21st

With the Duralcan love in our Top 10 Beautiful Bicycles of 2021 post, this couldn’t come at a better time. These bars have been in development for a while now, and are featured on Ronnie’s Duralcan in our gallery. Crust Bikes just got a full order up on their website. Here’s the gist:

“Uncle Ron’s Orthopedic Back Bar “Ron’s Ortho Bar” is a high-performance spinal alignment tool for the aging athlete.  3 unique comfort tech hand positions matched with the industry-leading width tame the wildest of 2 wheeled stallions.  A handlebar that you can point down the Boca boardwalk, GDMB trail, and everywhere in between… spinally aligned like a stoic statue of your departed youth.

A long 110-130mm stem is recommended for the Xtreme comfort tech sweepback of these bars.  No end shifter compliance to prevent trail stabbing from the pointy protrusion.  Made of 7000 series aluminum. 400 grams. 69cm wide, 69º backsweep, 69mm rise.”

In stock now at Crust Bikes for $120.

Velo Orange’s Crazy Bars have a cult following ranging from commuters to tourers and everything in between. These bars give you the benefit of a riser bar’s riding position with the option for a more aero hand placement. Sure, they look… uhh… crazy but that’s their name, right? For this round, VO widened the bar to 780mm and the sweep has been reduced to a more comfortable 35º. The horns also got massaged by shortening them to 110mm for an overall better riding experience. See more details and on-the-bike photos at Velo Orange.

Whisky Parts Co’s newest carbon component is the Spano Bars, an all-road or gravel bar with multiple hand positions, a multi-stage flare, and flat tops. These bars feature a compound flare, measuring 12º at the hoods and 20º through the drops and are available in 40cm to 48cm widths. Check out more information at Whisky.

Straya’s Curve Cycling knows if you put standard flat bars on a drop-bar bike it drastically shortens your reach and adversely affects the handling of the bike. That’s why they designed and developed the Remlaw Bar, which is designed to match the same reach and handling properties of a drop bar. With 12° of sweep-back, hand positioning remains similar to that when using the hoods on a drop bar.

PNW Components’ Range Handlebar Gen 3 comes in an 800mm width and a new 35mm diameter option. As modern mountain bikes push towards a longer reach, the Range Handlebar Gen 3 prioritizes fit and comfort with 10º back sweep and 5º upsweep, and a 30mm rise means your arms and shoulders will be in a more relaxed position. These aluminum bars are wider and even with the increase in diameter, are 25grams lighter than their predecessor bars.

The Range retails for $69 from PNW Components and come in a variety of accent colors.

Velo Orange has long made practical bars with versatility in mind. Their newest bar, the Seine Bar, is a dirt-worthy riser bar featuring a super comfortable position with loads of real estate and leverage for long days in and out of the saddle.

Tumbleweed’s 800mm wide Persuader bars are a great option for your touring bike, with a large, flat area at the stem clamp for bags, zero front sweep to keep those bags nice and neat, 50mm rise, a 30º back sweep, and weighing only 638g. These bars can easily be cut down if 800mm is too wide for your taste but can certainly be ridden uncut.

The pre-order opens today at 10 am PST at Tumbleweed Bicycle Co, with a two-week delivery time.
