The benefit of this design is in two areas - you can use a longer stem which can be more aesthetically pleasing and you can reduce the spacers used whilst maintaining the correct stack height. 

At neutral position, it provides a higher stack at the shifters since the curve doesn’t “dip down”. This helps reducing spacers needed below the stem to achieve same effective stack height.

Instead of a traditional round cross-section, R180/R150 handlebars employs an asymmetrical oval shaped section to get the best of both worlds.

Using the tops provides a more upright torso position and relaxes the shoulders. Our design accommodates this with a specifically designed cross-section.

We went back to the drawing boards with our riders’ input, making the tops more comfortable for gripping. Whether you choose to run the cable housings in front or below, the cross-section will always be ergonomically friendly.

Rider safety is our top priority, especially with lightweight models.
