The primary benefit is significantly improved comfort and reduced fatigue on long rides due to its ergonomic design, including a 20mm rise, 7° sweep, and 25° flare.
While designed primarily for gravel and adventure riding, its comfortable and stable nature can also be beneficial for long-distance road cycling where comfort is prioritized.
The handlebar has a 31.8mm clamp diameter. You will need a stem with a matching 31.8mm clamp size.
Yes, standard brake and shifter levers, including those for electronic shifting, are compatible as long as they fit the 31.8mm clamp diameter.
Handlebar width is typically matched to your shoulder width. It's recommended to measure your shoulder width from bone to bone and choose a handlebar width that aligns with that measurement, or consult with a bike fitter.
The 25° flare widens the handlebar in the drops, providing increased stability, leverage, and control when descending or riding on rough terrain.
Yes, you can mount accessories using the handlebar. The optional endurance loop accessory offers specific mounting points and alternative hand positions for bags and computers.
Ensure the handlebar width is appropriate for your shoulder width and consider adjusting the angle of the handlebar slightly. Check that your brake and shifter levers are positioned comfortably. Ensure you are not gripping the handlebars too tightly.
Experiment with rotating the handlebar slightly in the stem to find a better angle for your levers. Ensure your brake and shifter levers are designed for a 31.8mm clamp diameter.
Apply a thin layer of carbon paste (if applicable, though this is aluminum) or assembly compound to the stem clamp area. Re-torque the stem bolts to the manufacturer's specifications, tightening in a star pattern.
Setup: To install the Redshift Sports Kitchen Sink Handlebar, ensure you have a compatible stem with a 31.8mm clamp diameter. Use a torque wrench to tighten the stem bolts to the manufacturer's recommended specification. Adjust brake and shifter levers to your preferred position on the tops and in the drops, considering the handlebar's unique flare and sweep.
Compatibility: This handlebar is compatible with standard 31.8mm stems. It can also be fitted with optional accessories like the Redshift Endurance Loop for additional mounting options and hand positions. Ensure your brake and shifter levers are compatible with the clamp diameter of the handlebar where they mount.
Care: Clean the handlebar regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the finish. Periodically check that all bolts and clamps are securely tightened.
