The Thomson Dirt Drop Gravel Handlebars are designed for gravel cyclists and adventure riders who prioritize stability and ergonomic comfort on rough surfaces. Featuring a 25-degree flare, these bars provide superior control during technical descents; however, the wider profile may feel unconventional for traditional road cyclists used to narrow, race-oriented drop bars.

Yes, they can be used on a road bike if you prefer a wider, more ergonomic hand position, though they are specifically optimized for gravel riding.
The bars have a drop of 130mm and a reach of 90mm.
Check that the stem faceplate bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specification. Ensure there is no grease between the stem clamp and the handlebar.
Disassemble the stem faceplate, clean the contact points with isopropyl alcohol, and re-torque the bolts to the recommended settings.
To install, ensure your stem has a 31.8mm clamp diameter. When attaching the handlebars, center the bar accurately using the alignment markings and tighten the stem faceplate bolts in an 'X' pattern to distribute pressure evenly. Avoid over-torquing the bolts to prevent damage to the material. For maintenance, keep the handlebar tape clean and replace it periodically to maintain grip and comfort. Regularly inspect the bar surface near the stem clamp for any scratches or signs of fatigue. To clean the bars, use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh chemical degreasers that could damage the finish.
