We now have all of the first three available wide handlebars in stock.

We have Sunline V1’s (29.5″), Diety Dirty Thirty’s (30″), and Gravity Lite’s (31.5″!!!) all in stock, come while supplies last.

As an instructor, I’m constantly trying to work on getting riders in the proper position on their bikes. One of the best things I’ve done for my own riding is to get bars that fit my body properly. Now when I look back at old pictures and video of myself, I’m surprised I was able to ride as well as I was with standard width bars. Having bars which are too narrow force the riders elbows in and put a lot of pressure into the shoulders when braking, which keeps the riders’ center of gravity too high in their body. Within minutes of changing to wider bars, I could feel the changes I was able to make as a result. Riding in what I call the ‘throne’ position has always been a goal of mine, and getting bars that fit me properly made an immediate difference to my body position, which not only made me feel faster and better positioned, but also gave me greater control due to the leverage they provide.” - Simon Lawton
