Handlebars for optimal control and comfort

Are you ready to experience more grip and comfort on your bike? The right bicycle handlebar is the direct connection between your hands and the ground, which is essential for confidently cutting sharp corners, conquering technical trails, or riding deep in the drops for hours. At Woest, we understand that the perfect cockpit is crucial for your performance. A handlebar not only affects maneuverability but also dictates your entire riding position. Whether you choose aerodynamic drops, wide grip, a flared shape, or an aero position; a handlebar change completely transforms your riding experience.

Handlebars and components for top performance

Do you want to push your limits and get the most out of your training? A high-quality cockpit offers the stiffness, control, and ergonomics you need to confidently race over asphalt, through mud, or on endless straight roads. At Woest, we understand the passion for cycling like no other. In addition to a wide selection of handlebars, we also offer all other components. Our handlebar collection includes brands such as Cervélo, Profile Design, and Zipp for riders who want to perfectly tune their cockpit and equipment.

The right cockpit for your discipline

Adjusting your handlebars makes a world of difference to your bike's riding character. For every branch of cycling, a specific design has been developed to meet the unique demands of the terrain. For example, road bike handlebars are designed around an aerodynamic posture, with compact drops providing excellent grip when you pick up speed on the asphalt. Mountain bike handlebars are much wider for maximum leverage and optimal stability on rough, technical singletracks. Gravel bike handlebars feature a distinct 'flare', where the bar ends angle outwards for extra control on loose surfaces such as gravel and sand. For triathletes and time trialists, it's all about minimal air resistance, which is achieved with a setup that supports a streamlined aero position. With brands like Cervélo and Easton, there is a suitable handlebar for every challenge.

Within our assortment, you can optimize your cockpit with the following individual components:

  • Curved handlebars:The basis for many road and off-road bikes, featuring 'drops' and 'tops' to alternate between an aerodynamic and a comfortable, upright hand position while riding.
  • Extensions:Separate, straight or slightly curved aero bars that are mounted on the handlebars to position the arms narrowly forward, drastically improving aerodynamics.
  • Basebar:The wide base handlebar on triathlon and time trial bikes where the brake levers are mounted, intended for maximum control during starts, climbs, and steering in sharp turns.
  • Arm cups:Padded, adjustable elbow and forearm rests that are attached to the handlebars or extensions to stably support the upper body in the aero position.
  • Stem:The fixed connecting piece between the steerer tube and the handlebar, which, through its length and angle, determines the reach and height of the riding position.

Frequently asked questions about Handlebars

What is the difference between aluminum and carbon handlebars?

Carbon handlebars are lighter and dampen vibrations better, which offers more comfort during long rides. Aluminium handlebars, on the other hand, are often sturdier. The choice depends on your preference for weight and durability.

When should I replace my handlebars?

Replace your handlebars as soon as they show cracks or deep scratches. Additionally, new handlebars are advisable if you experience neck, shoulder, or hand pain while cycling. Your handlebars should also always match your riding style and cycling discipline for the best results.

Can I install a new steering wheel myself?

Yes, you can do this yourself with the right tools. Pay attention to the correct diameter for fitting your stem or frame, and make sure your cables run properly through or along the new handlebars.

How do I determine the correct handlebar width?

The ideal width depends on your shoulder width and riding position. A handlebar that's too narrow restricts control, while one that's too wide can be uncomfortable. Our specialists can help determine the correct size.

  • Woest Sport is zeer fijne zaak. De winkel is heerlijk ruim en en biedt een zeer breed assortiment. Door het hoge plafond, de overvloed aan daglicht en de ruimtelijke indeling van de winkel is het als een oase van rust.
