HANDLEBARS

Problem Solvers Handlebar Shims

The Cowbell bar shape is a mild departure from a traditional road bar, so it’s easy to transition to if that’s what you’re used to. The design differences it offers do bring substantial benefits however. The 12° flare at the drops offers increased leverage and stability when things get loose, while still preserving aerodynamics and a typical drop bar brake/shifter feel. All these things make the Cowbell bar the wise choice for gravel racing and riding, especially in wide-open country with a lot of exposure to wind.
