Product Information

Full details

The PRO Discover Aluminum 30 Handlebars are designed for adventure and gravel riders seeking enhanced control and comfort on varied terrain. Key benefits include superior handling in technical sections due to a 30-degree flare and an oversized top section for improved ergonomics. A potential consideration is that the specific reach and drop might require adjustment for riders accustomed to more traditional handlebar geometries.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the 30-degree flare?

The 30-degree flare provides significantly improved control and stability, especially when riding on technical terrain or during descents, by offering a wider and more secure grip in the drops.

Are these handlebars suitable for road cycling?

While designed for gravel and adventure, their versatility means they can be used for road cycling, particularly if you prefer a more upright position or frequently encounter rough road surfaces.

What is the clamp diameter?

The clamp diameter for these handlebars is 31.8mm.

How do I choose the right width?

Handlebar width is typically chosen based on shoulder width. Wider bars (46cm, 48cm) offer more stability for bikepacking and rough terrain, while narrower bars (42cm, 44cm) can feel more agile for faster riding.

What is the sweep on these handlebars?

The handlebars feature a 5-degree sweep.

What materials are these handlebars made from?

They are constructed from durable AL6066 aluminum.

What is the weight of these handlebars?

The weight starts from approximately 275g, depending on the chosen width.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars feel unstable.

Ensure the stem clamp bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Check that the handlebar is properly centered in the stem.

Difficulty reaching brake levers.

Adjust the position of the brake levers on the handlebar's drops to a more accessible position. Consult your bike's manual or a professional mechanic if unsure.

Rattling noise from the handlebar.

Check for any internal components or accessories that might be loose. Some internal cable routing systems can cause minor noise; ensure cables are properly secured.

Hand discomfort during long rides.

Experiment with different hand positions on the oversized tops and flared drops. Consider using padded gloves or bar tape for added cushioning.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent control and stability on rough terrain due to 30-degree flare.
  • Comfortable ergonomics for long-distance riding and bikepacking.
  • Durable yet lightweight aluminum construction.
  • Suitable for diverse riding conditions, from gravel to singletrack.
  • Compact reach and drop facilitate easy transitions between hand positions.

Cons

  • May require an adjustment period for riders unfamiliar with flared drop bars.
  • Aluminum construction, while durable, may offer less vibration damping than carbon alternatives.
  • Specific reach and drop might not suit every rider's preferred fit without careful setup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The PRO Discover Aluminum 30 Handlebars have a standard 31.8mm clamp diameter, making them compatible with most modern stems. Ensure proper torque settings are used when installing the stem and any accessories (like lights or computer mounts) to avoid damage. Adjusting the lever position on the handlebars is crucial to take full advantage of the flare and compact bend.

Compatibility: These handlebars are specifically designed for gravel and adventure cycling. They are compatible with standard brake and shifter systems. Available in widths of 42cm, 44cm, 46cm, and 48cm, allowing riders to choose the best fit for their body size and riding style.

Care: Clean the handlebars regularly with a mild soap and water solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents. Periodically check for any signs of damage, especially after a significant impact. Ensure all bolts and clamps remain secure.
