By cleverly optimising the widths and angles, I’ve been able to create a handlebar that offers a very similar effective ‘reach’ from saddle to bullhorn, bar top or grips. The all-new Remote 160 is the electric bike we’ve been waiting for. My initial thoughts were that these bars should be optimised around the three most important characteristics for touring: bike control, comfort and speed – but we left it at that. But if you skip to 3:22, you can hear all about how I set up my KOGA Denham Bars, including my five hand positions and the mod I’ve made to my right-hand Rohloff grip.For a €2500 upgrade, you get a KOGA WTS 2.0 touring bike with your Denham Bars! And the bullhorns worked out to be too long for comfort and not optimised in terms of ergonomics.Fitting a wide handlebar to my touring bikes is the most important modification I’ve ever made. I can assist you with all kinds of resources, advice and inspiration!
This is because the sweptback nature of this handlebar puts your hands ~75mm behind the steering axis. Depuis, des victoires sportives sont remportées régulièrement, faisant honneur à la marque. I like to keep my DSLR camera in a handlebar bag because it best protects my camera from shock and vibrations. Microshift or Paul) the cable routing prevents you from being able to use the bullhorn section of the bars, so please don’t fit them if you want all hand positions.I discuss every frame detail and component on my bike in this video. Oh, and I’ve got lots of reasons why I prefer flat bars over drops These bars are also a nice upgrade to an off-road touring bike like the Surly Troll or Ogre, but they KOGA have minimum standards when it comes to handlebar stiffness and strength. I was notably inspired by the I was sure the Crazy Bar design was on the right track, but the angles and widths didn’t quite gel with me. Mais aussi grâce à la compétition, Koga ayant sponsorisé et équipé diverses équipes professionnelles de cyclisme. As KOGA is a bicycle company first, their components are exclusively available through their dealer network only (much like Giant or Specialized parts and accessories).

That’s because wide bars increase the The bar width I’ve selected (711mm) suits smaller riders just fine. Firstly, there are three distinct hand positions that give you the opportunity to change the pressure points on your hands (actually, I use five different positions as shown The bullhorns are super short and have been angled inwards by 15° to give you a really snug fit, and the ‘bar tops’ offer a gentle 8° backsweep to pull your shoulders in on the open road.The 34° rearward sweep at the grips is nice for any bike setup where the handlebars are approximately level with the saddle or higher. I'm here to help you travel the world by bicycle. For comparison, standard bars fitted to extra-small women’s mountain bikes are actually a touch wider (720mm).If you’ve been following this site for a while, you’ll know I have a keen interest in aerodynamics; in fact, I once spent a whole day I haven’t measured the actual speed difference between the hand positions on the Denham Bars, but given your body is a big wind sail – the difference is certainly noticeable.
A high degree of handlebar stiffness is important for safety, but it’s also about getting the right steering ‘feel’ – make them too stiff and you reduce rider comfort. For example, the Easton EA70 AX bars have a ‘reach’ of 80mm, so if you were switching from them, you would want to go 10-20mm longer with your stem to get the bullhorns in the same place as your hoods.

This is because the ‘reach’ is longer in all hand positions on the Moloko. 1 099,00 € - 7 499,00 € I was chatting to Aloys from With lots of ideas buzzing around my head, I started sketching.

Learn how to create your own. The 45° rearward bar sweep put my hands diagonally across the grips, which resulted in hand numbness if I didn’t wear my gel-padded gloves. In my opinion, the Denham Bars are spot on in terms of stiffness, comfort and feel.One of the biggest differences between the Denham Bar and other similar bars (Jones Loop, Surly Moloko) is that it fits a handlebar bag.
If you want to learn more about this concept head over to my For the bullhorns and bar tops, I’d recommend a nice thick bar tape (I use a double layer wrap) as it will dampen more vibrations and provide a larger diameter handhold.
