Used to be if you wanted to throw drop bars on your off-road rig, you had to fork over your allowance for a new drivetrain and brake levers. We made the Corner Bar so you could conduct all your dirt-drop experiments with your current brake and drivetrain setup. I mean, why spring for the whole buffet when all you want is a salty snack at the bar? Anyway, we made this one out of Chromoly and it comes in three agreeable widths. We’re also including a set of shims. If you don’t need ‘em, stick ‘em in a drawer for later.

Drop Bar Equivalent Width: 46cm, 50cm, or 54cm

Liked them a lot. Nice having steel bars on a steel bike. Hand position options are great, solved the ‘numb’ hands issue for me (I was using a swept-back flat bar), and actually shifting with trigger-type shifters was easier than before (mor eergonomic positioning). You will lose some height so maybe also consider a new stem with more rise if you buy the Corner Bars.

Adventurous souls seeking extra hand positions need look no further. There’s no hoods position keep in mind. Fun to ride in, comfy and great for the spice of life it brings to long distance cycling. Definitely recommend this bar for anyone drop-bar-curious or someone seeking a greater spectrum of hand positions for touring.
