Altias Sprint Handlebar|275mm|300mm|325mm|350mm

Description

Note: All sizes of the Altias Sprint Handlebar are UCI legal until 1/1/2027. Following this date, only the 325mm and 350mm sizes of Altias Sprint Handlebars will be UCI Legal.

Engineered Performance

Engineered for champions, the Altias Sprint Handlebars are specifically designed in collaboration with world class sprint track cyclists who demand nothing but the best. The Altias Sprint Handlebarsbring validated wind-tunnel testedperformance to the mass market.

Strength and stiffness don’t come second to aerodynamics. TheAltias handlebars exceed twice the ISO strength requirements, ensuring they can handle the demands of the world’stop sprint cyclists.

Built from the highest quality Japanese Toray Carbon Fiber, the Altias Sprint Handlebars are crafted with an unyielding commitment to optimise the balance between modularity and integration. The handlebars come in four different widths – 275mm, 300mm, 325mm, and 350mm – to suit diverse needs and preferences.

The Grip and Aero

A unique grip design works with the riders forearms for an aerodynamic advantage.A 7.93% aerodynamic efficiency gain ismeasured using with a rider using the Altias Sprint Bars over more traditional styled drop bars such as theTrack Sprint Bars.

Various grip positionsthrough the drop ensuresrider comfort to maintain an aerodynamic position, The shallow and unique drop shape had gone throughdozens of iterations during the development process – testing and generating feedback from many riders at the top level of the sport. the result is a comfortable grip while optimising airflow using trips to enhance the handlebar/rider system.

Standing Starts

• Ample wrist clearance for launching out of thestart gate.
• A 27mm grip diameter reduces grip strength requirements.

Relaxed Race Grip

• The grip shape encourages a slightly bent elbow, dropping the riders torso – reducing frontal area.
• Air trips around the riders handdirect airflow constructively around and away from their forearms.

Aero Tuck Race Grip

• An aggressive grip position where the hand melds into the handlebar surface – closing up air gaps to reduce turbulence.
• Air trips guide air around the athletes forearms for improved aerodynamic efficiency.
• A subtle flair through the drop encourages an inward wrist rotation.Wrists are supported by the drop grip section of the handlebar.
• The riders elbows maintain a tucked in position, reducing the rider from loosing form while fatiguing.

Optimisation and Modularisation

We have spent 24 monthscreatinga system that is a fine balance between being highly modular,while maintaining the performance benefits of an integrated cockpit. As well as the Altias Sprint Handlebars being able to fit with any standard 31.8mm stem such astheLongboi Stem, The bars can also be fitted in a semi-integratedmodular Altias system. Compatible Altias bars, stems and faceplates can be mixed and matched in a semi-integrated modular system specific to the athletes fit requirements.
