Handlebar Types

HANDLEBAR TYPES

Handlebars determine the rider's posture and control. Common types include:

• Flat Bars: Standard on mountain and some city bikes, providing good control and an upright position.
• Drop Bars: Standard on road bikes, offering multiple hand positions and an aerodynamic tuck.
• Butterfly Bars: Popular for touring, offering many hand positions to reduce fatigue.
• Riser Bars: Similar to flat bars but with a slight upward curve for a more upright posture.
