Element Technic alloy bars are designed with special sweep and rise to improve rider comfort and control. Since handlebar position is a critical element to bike fit, we took special interest in handlebar positioning.

By testing position with an experimental adjustable bar and stem, we evaluated over 30 bar sweeps of which we narrowed down to 10 and then finally four positions. Mainly, we found the need to have an increased up-sweep. These four positions fit the widest range of riding styles and body positions.

• Special sweep and rise for control and comfort
• Precision tolerances on bar diameter and wall-thickness
• Heat-treated triple-butted AL7075 alloys
• Dual surface treatments:
• Shot-peened center and bends for maximum fatigue strength
• Polished ends for better adhesion of grips
• Marked ends for cutting-down
• Color graphics
• For Ø25.4mm stems
