Bike Handlebars

Bike Handlebars are the control center of your ride — where precision, comfort, and confidence meet. At The Outdoor Warehouse, we stock a wide range of road, mountain, gravel, and aero handlebars engineered for every style of riding. Whether you’re chasing podiums or exploring dirt trails, our handlebars are designed for balance, grip, and long-distance comfort.

We carry carbon fiber, aluminum, and alloy handlebars from trusted brands known for innovation and reliability. Every bar is tested for ergonomics, vibration damping, and stiffness-to-weight ratio — ensuring your cockpit setup maximizes both performance and control.

Pro Tip

Choosing the right handlebar shape and width can transform your ride. Drop bars offer aerodynamic efficiency and multiple hand positions for road cyclists. Flat and riser bars improve leverage and stability on mountain bikes. Always consider clamp diameter compatibility with your stem (usually 31.8mm or 35mm) and ensure proper cable routing when upgrading your cockpit.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know what handlebar width I need?
For road bikes, handlebar width should match shoulder width for comfort and control. Mountain bikers often prefer wider bars (760–800mm) for added leverage on technical terrain.
Are carbon handlebars better than aluminum?
Carbon handlebars are lighter and absorb vibration better, reducing fatigue on long rides. Aluminum bars are more affordable and durable, ideal for aggressive riders or daily use.
Can I switch from flat to riser handlebars?
Yes. Switching can improve comfort and handling depending on your riding style. Ensure your stem angle, cable length, and brake lever reach are adjusted for the new setup.
What is handlebar flare?
Flare describes the outward angle of drop bar ends. Gravel and endurance riders prefer more flare for control on rough terrain and better wrist clearance.
How often should handlebars be replaced?
Inspect your bars annually for cracks, stress marks, or corrosion — especially near the stem clamp. Replace carbon bars every 3–5 years depending on use and conditions.
