Handlebars and stems

Handlebar Types and Selection Criteria

The handlebar is one of the main elements of the bicycle, influencing riding comfort and control. When choosing handlebars, it's important to consider various factors related to your riding style and the type of bike.

• Handlebar width – Wider handlebars are ideal for MTB bikes as they provide greater stability in technical conditions. Narrower handlebars are better for road bikes as they improve aerodynamics and increase speed.

• Handlebar shape – The handlebar shape is closely related to the riding position.

• Material – The material of the handlebars significantly affects both weight and durability:

  • Aluminum handlebars are very durable and suitable for most types of bikes. They offer good performance across a range of price points.
  • Carbon handlebars are lighter and offer greater stiffness, which is especially important for racing and high-performance riding.

Stem Types and Selection Criteria

Stems are essential to adjust the height and reach of the handlebars, ensuring a comfortable ride. Stems come in various lengths, allowing you to tailor your bike to your personal needs.

• Stem length – If you want a more comfortable and upright riding position, choose a shorter stem. A longer stem will provide a more sport-oriented and aggressive position, which is suitable for faster and more intense riding styles.

• Stem material – Stems are typically made of aluminum or carbon:

  • Aluminum stems are durable and suitable for all types of bicycles.
  • Carbon stems are lighter and often used on high-end road and MTB bikes to improve performance.
