Review on 🏻 Enhance Your Urban Cycling Experience with Origin8 Urban MX Riser Handlebars by David Angelboy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Compact knuckles in handlebars, fork tubes and stems

Perfect set of lightweight knuckles. I needed something to take the pressure off my arms and elbows - they fit and look good. It's not a big boner - maybe 1.5 inches, but it's enough to make you notice. The lanes aren't very wide at all, which comes in handy when driving in traffic jams or on crowded roads. Maintains a clean aerodynamic profile despite a more upright riding position. Good alternative to drop bars. They feel very solid - no flex (240lb rider). There isn't much room in the grip area - if you have separate brake/shifter clips it might not all fit. I run a 1x7 setup with a Sora brake lever and a QuickFire brifter - all fit perfectly with a set of standard clips on the cranks. The set I received was not perfectly powder coated and looked like it had been touched up. with nail polish but not worth returning. Hardly noticeable on the bike. Not a big fan of neon green logos - again, barely noticeable.
