Key Features of the Redshift Top Shelf Low Flare handlebar

• Perfect for road, gravel, bikepacking, and commuting
• RISE - 50 or 70mm (2 or 2.75in) of rise creates a more upright and comfortable riding position without the use of a highly angled stem or excessive headset spacers. This allows riders to achieve a more upright, relaxed fit while maintaining traditional drop-bar bike geometry.
• CONTROL - Take advantage of the drops. The higher positioning of the drops provides a comfortable and secure hand position, giving you control to navigate rough terrain and steep descents. This keeps your body weight centered, while reducing neck and back strain.
• BACKSWEEP - 7° degrees of backsweep orients the bar where your hands want to be. Whether you're on the flats, the hoods, or the drops, you’re getting an ergonomic position for your most epic gravel rides.
• ROAD STYLE FLARE - 10° degrees of flare and a compact drop means a stable, aerodynamic drop position that is actually comfortable enough to use on your longest road or gravel ride. 
• FULL RANGE OF WIDTHS -  41, 44, 47, 50, and 53cm widths.
• STORAGE - the unique double-bar construction provides room for all of your bar-mounted accessories. Mount handlebar bags (like our custom-fitted Top-Shelf Handlebar Bag which is now available) securely, without flopping around like they do on a standard handlebar.

Why are your riser handlebar flared? 

The handlebars are designed to seek a balance between the traditional wide flat bars which offer stability and control over rough terrain and the comfort and speed of road bike drop bar position without sacrificing control. The Top Shelf Handlebars are flared in the drops to give the rider a stable and more controllable riding position that is essential for gravel biking terrain. This combination of comfort and control allows you to ride longer, further and faster and is especially well-suited to long distance multi-day, week or even months long bikepacking rides.

Why 10 degrees of Flare?

Because it's the right balance between classic dropbar shaping and the ergonomic plus comfort advantages of flare. A small amount of flare on performance road bike bars is quickly becoming a very popular option for this very reason.
