Handlebars

"Flat" or "riser" bars are the standard handlebars equipped on mountain bikes, and recently on fixed gear bicycles. A flat bar is a nearly-straight tube, slightly bent toward the rider. A risers is a variation in which the outer sections of the bars rise from the center clamp area. Flat and riser bars may be appended with bar ends, providing more hand positions. Lightweight carbon handlebars are now more affordable than ever.
