Available in 25, 35, 45 & 55 degrees grip angle and 38,
44 & 48 cm widths (grip center to grip center).
Most of the stock short wheelbase recumbents with above
seat steering on the market come with only one style of
handlebars. Some people find that they would ideally
like to have a width and bar angle that is comfortable
for them. If you would like to get a set of bars that fit
you better, and not be stuck in the one size fits all,
or, in some cases we know of, one company that
touts 3 sizes fits all(?). We feel that one, two, three, or
even 4 choices is not enough- people are more unique than that.
For this
reason we offer 12 bars varying in width and grip angle.
A good place to start is by sitting on your present bike
and then determining whether you would like a wider or
narrower overall width. When you are riding where do you
tend to put your hands? This will be a good indicator
of your natural comfort position. Many people like a
shoulder width bar, some like more of a closed in
praying hampster position. For your wrists, determine
whether you want a flatter position where your knuckles
are more horizontal or more angle where your thumbs are
rotated upwards.

Once you have decided on this you can
be confident that this a good approximation of what bars
you will be happiest with. Visualize your hand position
relative to the picture of the the 4 bar angles and you
will tend to pick the one that is correct.
It really is that simple and we are
confident that our selection of bars will allow you to
find one that will make your riding more comfortable and
efficient.
