Review on ๐Ÿšฒ FSA Adventure Compact Alloy Handlebar: The Perfect Companion for Adventure Seekers by James Crofton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great ergonomic handlebar!: parts and components

Replaced the stock oval handlebar on my 2014 Fuji Sportif 2.1. These new bars are much more comfortable from all angles. The top flat area is much better than the standard round bar and the lugs are further back for a better hand position. They are quite stiff and seem relatively light. There are a few things to watch out for: 1.) The reach seems to be a bit shorter than stock handlebars. 2.) The planes actually drop off center a bit, making them appear lower compared to standard non-ergo bars. 3.) They flare up a few degrees on drops, which is fine for me and my ergos, but may not be suitable for city riding where narrow bars are needed. Overall they definitely improved my ride and they were delivered on time in good packaging.

Pros
  • FSA road handlebars measure center to center of the drops
Cons
  • Big and chunky
