The Deda Elementi Gravel 100 RHM Handlebars are designed for gravel riders seeking enhanced stability and comfort without sacrificing classic brake lever feel. Their RHM (Rapid Hand Movement) curve and compact geometry offer an ergonomic advantage for long rides and demanding terrain.

FAQs
What is the RHM curve?
RHM stands for Rapid Hand Movement. It's a Deda Elementi specific curve designed to provide a compact handlebar geometry, allowing for quicker hand position changes and easier access to the brake levers.
What is the main benefit of the 12° lateral opening angle?
The 12° lateral opening angle increases stability, especially on rough gravel roads, while still maintaining the familiar feel and ergonomics of traditional brake lever positions.
What material are the handlebars made from?
These handlebars are constructed from 7075 triple-butted aluminum, which offers a high strength-to-weight ratio.
What are the available widths for these handlebars?
The Deda Elementi Gravel 100 RHM Handlebars are available in widths of 40cm, 42cm, 44cm, and 46cm (center-to-center).
What is the reach and drop of these handlebars?
The reach is 75mm and the drop is 130mm.
What is the clamp diameter for the stem?
The clamp diameter for the stem is 31.7mm.
How much do these handlebars weigh?
A 42cm set of these handlebars weighs approximately 260g.
Troubleshooting
Handlebars feel unstable on rough terrain.
Ensure the stem clamp bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Verify that the handlebar is centered correctly in the stem. Check tire pressure, as it significantly impacts ride stability.
Hand or wrist discomfort during long rides.
Adjust the position of your brake levers. Consider using thicker bar tape or gel inserts for added cushioning. Ensure your bike fit is optimized for your body and riding style.
Brake levers feel difficult to reach or operate.
Adjust the position of the brake levers on the handlebar. Ensure your brake cables are properly adjusted and not binding. The 12° opening angle is designed for a specific feel; confirm lever placement aligns with your preferred reach.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent ergonomic design for long-distance comfort.
- Improved stability on rough surfaces due to the 12° opening angle.
- Lightweight yet durable construction from 7075 aluminum.
- Compact geometry facilitates quick hand position changes.
- Multiple widths ensure a tailored fit for most riders.
Cons
- The 12° lateral opening angle may require an adjustment period for some riders.
- Slightly aero shape might not appeal to riders preferring a completely traditional round bar.
- Specific compatibility with certain stem clamp diameters needs verification (31.7mm).
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These handlebars feature a 31.7mm clamp diameter, ensuring compatibility with most modern stems. Installation should be performed by a qualified bicycle mechanic to ensure proper torque settings are applied to the stem bolts and any accessories mounted to the handlebars. Ensure cables are routed cleanly and do not interfere with steering.
Compatibility: Compatible with standard 31.7mm stem clamps. Ensure your existing stem is compatible with this diameter. Brake and shift levers designed for 23.8mm diameter bars will fit the drops and hoods sections.
Care: Clean the handlebars regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Periodically check stem and lever clamp bolts for tightness, especially after rough rides.
