FAQ

What does flare mean on a gravel handlebar?

Flare refers to the outward angle of the drop section relative to the tops. A flared bar gives you a wider, more stable grip in the drops, which improves control and reduces arm fatigue on rough terrain.

How is the 70 XPLR different from the SL-70 XPLR?

Both share the same XPLR geometry with outsweep and flare for gravel. The SL version uses a higher-grade aluminum and more refined construction. The standard 70 XPLR offers the same geometry at a lower price point.

Can I use this bar for road riding too?

Yes. The shallow drop works well on road, and many riders appreciate the wider drop position even on pavement. The flare is most noticeable and most useful on gravel but does not impede road use.

Best For

Gravel and adventure cyclists who want flared drop geometry with wide stable drops and shallow reach at an accessible price for mixed-terrain exploration.
