Cycling handlebars come in various shapes and sizes, each designed for specific types of riding, providing different positions and levels of control. Here are some common types:
Drop Bars:
- Found on road bikes.
- Offer multiple hand positions (tops, hoods, drops).
- Good for aerodynamic posture, suitable for long-distance riding and racing.
Flat Bars:
- Common on mountain bikes, hybrids, and some road bikes.
- Offer a more upright riding position, which can be more comfortable for casual riding.
- Provide good control, especially for maneuvering in traffic or on trails.
Riser Bars:
- Similar to flat bars but with a rise (upward curve) towards the rider.
- Offer a more comfortable, upright riding position than flat bars.
