3T Super Ergo Team Comfort Handlebars

The handlebars are formed from unidirectional carbon fibre, making them super light, coming in at a mere 199 grammes (42), but what sets these bars apart is their shape and the comfort that they provide in all riding positions. The ergonomics along the tops and in the corners are particularly well thought out, and having used these extensively on long all day rides, there’s a definite absence of hand fatigue and strain. Looking at the drops themselves, 3T have achieved a good balance, designing a drop that is not to shallow for the aggressive riders and yet which retains good control where required.

Using the Superergo team handlebars in the Dales and elsewhere, they feel positive, firm and stiff, and the control provided by them has been vital, especially on the steep and winding descents, where loose gravel along the road edges requires a positive and immediate response. I’ve never felt that I was either over reaching or unable to keep the speed and handling in balance. 3T have done this by creating an area across the shoulder of their Superergo Team which is flatter and designed to compliment your grip, maximising comfort and creating a secure grip.
