It is crafted from 6000-series aerospace alloy, chosen for its balance of weight, stiffness, and durability.
The handlebar weighs approximately 327g.
HMS stands for Half Moon Shape, referring to the ergonomic bend profile of the drops.
While it is compatible with many standard clip-ons, ensure the clamp area has sufficient space and that the alloy structure is not compromised by over-tightening.
Verify that the stem bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications and ensure the clamping surface is free of grease or debris.
Check all mounting bolts for tightness and ensure the connection between the stem and the handlebar is clean and properly seated.
Installation of the Falcon Road Ergo Handlebar requires a stem compatible with a 31.8mm clamp diameter. When mounting, ensure that the faceplate bolts are tightened in a cross-pattern to distribute pressure evenly across the center section of the bar. It is recommended to use a torque wrench to meet the manufacturer's specified torque settings, typically between 4Nm and 6Nm. For maintenance, clean the handlebar surface regularly with mild soap and water to remove grit and sweat, which can cause oxidation over time. Inspect the handlebar periodically for any signs of stress, particularly near the clamping area.
