A unique patent-pending flattened oval shape delivers just the right amount of vertical compliance combining the best characteristics of 31.8mm and 35.0mm diameter handlebar standards. This one-of-a-kind profile increases steering responsiveness allowing you to hit all the turns with ease. A unique design minimizes the 35mm clamping area and quickly changes to a flattened oval shape in the transition zone then to the standard 22.2 clamps for the shifter brakes and grips.
