In terms of both comfort and performance anywhere that your body touches the bike is of the utmost importance. That's why we designed the Hover Alloy Handlebars to excel on both fronts. Starting with the construction they're made from our Premium Butted Aluminum for a nice overall weight and high rigidity. And for comfort much of it boils down to fit. Along these lines they feature a shallow drop & bend that's extremely comfortable while they also have a 15mm rise to help accommodate a wide fit range. For added stability we've added 12 degrees of flare at the drop to give that wide stance. Specialized Hover Alloy Handlebars - 15mm Rise plus Flare in Sand Blast Ano Black
