Butterfly Handlebar

BUTTERFLY HANDLEBAR

The butterfly handlebar (or trekking handlebar) is a type of handlebar shaped like a butterfly or a figure-eight. It is highly popular among long-distance touring cyclists because it offers multiple hand positions. This variety helps prevent hand numbness and fatigue by allowing the rider to shift their weight and change their hand grip frequently.

Butterfly handlebars also provide ample space for mounting accessories like GPS devices, handlebar bags, lights, and bells. They are typically used with a more upright riding position, which is comfortable for multi-day tours.
