Consider Your Riding Style When Choosing Handlebars
When it comes to customizing your ride, whether it’s a road bike or mountain bike, the handlebars are one of the most impactful components that you can change. Different styles of handlebars will give you different riding experiences, so it’s critical to choose the right ones for your needs. There are three main styles of handlebars for road bikes, drop-down, bullhorn, and flat.
Drop-down handlebars are the most common type of handlebars found on road bikes. They offer a more aerodynamic position and put the rider in a body position to pedal more powerfully. Bullhorn handlebars are less common, but they offer a more upright riding position and can be more comfortable for some riders. Flat handlebars are the least common type for road bikes, but they offer a more relaxed riding position, and many commuter cyclists prefer them.
When choosing the right custom handlebars for a bicycle, you should also consider the type of bike you have and how you plan to ride it. If you are a more aggressive road or gravel rider who likes to go fast, drop-down handlebars will give you the performance you need. If you prefer more comfort and want to see the road ahead, a bullhorn or flat handlebar might be better for your body. We also stock SQlab handlebars that provide more ergonomic hand positions to ensure better wrist comfort and less hand numbness.
No matter what type of custom handlebars for your bicycle you choose, make sure that they are the right size for your bike and body specifications. Handlebars that are too wide or too narrow can cause discomfort and potential injuries. And always make sure to check that your handlebars are securely fastened to your bike before you start riding. Take these factors into account beforehand, and you won't be confused when determining what size handlebars for your road bike you should purchase.
