312 R Carbon Light | ergonomically shaped

The flattened and forward-extended top section creates a maximized contact area. This allows your fingers to wrap securely around the handlebar – for a firm hold and full control. The combination of ample surface and freedom of movement ensures optimal pressure distribution, resulting in noticeably more comfort, even on long rides or rough terrain.

When choosing the right handlebar width for your gravel bike, comfort, control, and personal preference all come into play. A handlebar that’s too narrow can feel unstable off-road – too wide, and it may affect your riding efficiency.

To strike the right balance, we recommend: Shoulder width + 2 cm = optimal handlebar width

This extra width adds stability and control on rough terrain – without compromising comfort.
Tip: Measure your shoulder width by taking the distance between the outer edges of your acromion (shoulder bones).

Pressure mapping shows that the maximized contact area of the 312 R handlebars enables an even, ergonomic distribution of pressure across the hands.

The visual shows pressure intensity by color: White = low pressure, increasing through blue, green, yellow, orange, up to red = highest pressure.
