SUNLITE Northroad Touring Bicycle Handlebar

Slothypiper93Slothypiper93: Very nice bars not cheap feeling and they look really nice too gave me an upright seating position on my charge plug prestige! Fit a 25.4mm Bar clamp perfectly and didn't get all scratched up on installation very east straight forward install also you may need to get longer cables depending on how your build was set up before.

Robin S. DouglasRobin S. Douglas: If you’re looking for a classic, upright seating position this handlebar is a must. It sweeps back at just the perfect angle for a comfortable cruising posture, allowing my wrists to not hurt on long rides. It is light weight aluminum and highly polished for performance and style. With the new position, compared to the straight mountain bike bar, I needed to put on longer cables for the controls, and it was a great reason to upgrade my twist shifters and grips as well. I love my bike; now I can really enjoy it with the Sunlite Northroad Touring handlebar.

M. CostasM. Costas: I actually purchased two of these so both my bikes would have comfortable bars.

My one bike is an old ATB that I altered to make a utility bike out of. That one has an adjustable stem which I constantly fiddle with depending on how I want to ride that day.

My other bike is already a "comfort" bike, and although it was comfortable when I got it, my hand arthritis progressed to the point that a straight bar tweaked my wrist and thumbs so I put this one on it with foam grips, it's now comfortable and utilitarian.

I would like to have nitto bars but these are more affordable and I'm fickle, if I decide to change them I'm not out a lot of money.

I don't see myself changing them though. My bikes are set up a little differently from each other so I can swap rides when I want a different position.

The mongoose is the old mountain bike. The other bike is a specialized expedition and I put a handlebar extension on it to raise my light and GPS above the cables and to save space.

Ancient Mariner: These bars are a classic touring style that really works well and looks good on a city bike, cruiser or, in my case, utility conversion of a mountain bike. They have plenty of straight grip area to take grips, shifters, and brakes, with room for a bell or mojo etc. They feel surprisingly light and strong (they're aluminum alloy), and they fit perfectly in my mountain bike stem. They have good sweep, so a long (traditional) MTB stem works best, but with my 120mm stem they never get anywhere near my knees even in turns. They have a lot of rise, nice for city riding, which also allows you to angle the grips downward for a neutral wrist. Fixie/touring users often flip them over for a comfy, slight drop, swept bar with MTB brakes. Admittedly the finish here is not as sleek and polished as it would be on a Nitto bar, so if you're building a showpiece, be aware, but at this price, for city or utility use, they look nice and shiny, and who's complaining?
