Road Bike Handlebars and Tapes: Comfort and Performance

In the cycle components category, handlebars and handlebar tapes are essential for ensuring comfort, grip and performance on your road bike . The handlebar determines your riding position and influences handling, while the handlebar tape improves grip and reduces vibrations. Discover our selection of handlebars and tapes for optimal road riding:

Types of handlebars for road bikes

  • Anatomical Handlebars: These handlebars are designed to provide superior comfort with a slightly curved shape, ideal for cyclists looking to reduce strain on their hands and wrists, especially on long rides.
  • Compact handlebars: Very popular on road bikes, these handlebars offer a slightly shorter and more raised shape, improving ergonomics and facilitating handling while allowing for a more comfortable riding position, even during prolonged efforts.
  • Time trial handlebars: Specifically designed for time trial events, these handlebars offer an aggressive aerodynamic position to optimize speed. Their shape is straighter, which allows for greater stability at high speeds.
  • Shallow (round) bars: With a gentle bend and a higher grip, Shallow bars provide a more natural handling, ideal for riders looking for a compromise between comfort and performance.

Choosing the right hanger

The choice of handlebars depends on your body shape, your riding preferences, and your riding style. Here are some things to consider:

  • Ergonomics: Anatomical handlebars are ideal for cyclists looking for comfort over long distances, while time trial handlebars are designed for competitors looking to maximize their aerodynamic position.
  • Width: The width of the handlebar affects your posture and comfort. It is important to choose a handlebar that matches the width of your shoulders for optimal grip.
  • Material: Aluminum handlebars are lightweight and durable, while carbon handlebars offer even lighter weight and superior vibration absorption for added comfort.

Types of handlebar tape for road bikes

  • Leather Tapes: Offering excellent comfort and superior grip, leather is ideal for cyclists looking to combine aesthetics and performance.
  • Silicone bands: Very popular for their ability to absorb vibrations, these bands offer optimal comfort and a pleasant grip, even during long rides.
  • Foam Tape: Lightweight and effective, foam tape provides good shock absorption, ideal for cyclists looking for extra comfort during long rides.
  • EVA Tapes: This synthetic material is lightweight, durable and offers good vibration absorption, perfect for cyclists looking for comfort while maintaining low wind resistance.

Why choose a good handlebar and handlebar tape?

Handlebars and handlebar tape are key elements to ensure comfort and performance during your road rides. Here are the main benefits:

  • Improved Comfort: Quality handlebar tape helps absorb road vibrations better, reducing hand and arm fatigue, especially over long distances.
  • Better grip: A handlebar adapted to your position allows for a more comfortable and secure grip, essential for maintaining control of the bike in all situations.
  • Increased performance: The right handlebar, depending on your riding style, improves your posture, which optimizes your performance, especially on climbs or during sprints.

Whether you're looking for an anatomical handlebar for added comfort or an aerodynamic bar to improve your performance, our range of handlebars and handlebar tapes will meet your needs. Discover our selection and find the perfect combination for your road bike.
