The Best Handlebar I've Ever Seen (Bike Fitter explains...)

I know the design engineer for these bars and the number of 3D printed prototypes he made is mind boggling. One of his riding buddies is a physician and had the vision. He and the engineer played a large part in making this happen. Ergonomics and comfort were the main design goals. It sounds like they nailed it.

The fact that this handle bar had mounting options for accessories in addition to the ergonomic design is certainly a game changer.

Yess, rep Oregon! Stoked to hear that! My parents opened wind rider bikes just outside ptown in the 80’s as one if not the first mountain bike stores in Oregon/PNW. I grew up here and always loved seen the influence they made on the early biking community to inspire what it is now. Great video too, I never saw your content but I’ll have to subscribe. And maybe get these bars for my dad. He rides everyday instead of drives and is 72 now so I got him a used ebike to help with the all the hills around here. Bike is life💛

Just an observation: I didn’t see you using the handlebars on the hoods. I believe that is what roadies use 95% of the time. So, is there more comfort with hands on the hoods too?

I've been using the Coefficient RR on my bike since April 2021 and although I have the luxury of reviewing bikes as part of my job, one of the things that I miss most when riding a test bike is these handlebars. Great to see that others agree on the benefits offered. I was particularly hesitant to change at first but it took only one ride to understand the benefits. Happy to say: this is one of the best product reviews I've done... as the Coefficient RR handlebars remain a favourite. – Rob

As someone who studied product and industrial design it's great to see something like this, the ergonomics look really good - darnit Neil now I have to check another piece of gear...

Awesome video! I have been looking to change the handlebars on my Aspero and these bars jumped to the top of my list! I ordered them over the weekend and cannot wait for then to arrive!

I love this bar. So many hand positions. Been using it for over a year now.

What a great find - nicely explained. Thanks.

Chris Froome's elbows have entered the chat!

Have this handlebar on my new bike and have ridden ca. 400km with it...I am loving it!

The older Madone SLR (2020 model I think) has a slight backsweep on the bars, and I absolute love them. I’m tempted to try these on my Aethos

have been testing turning my hoods inward to get a better wrist angle when in the hoods, now I can get a better angle on the tops too.....

Great review. I too have an all mechanical groupset. Was wondering if you had to install longer cables, as suggested in their instructions? I might just tape my existing cables to the bars underside to avoid tight corners.

Handlebar ergonomics are still stuck in the 1980’s. These are a massive shift in the right direction,the backward sweep make sense. Pity most integrated cockpits sold on the current crop of bikes are rubbish.

Damnit Neill, now I have to buy before they sell out! You are the DC rainmaker of bikefit advice afterall

I've been using these since 2021 and they are just the most comfortable bars ever. I bought a set for my winter bike, as I wanted some more comfort and when I went back to my race back I really missed the comfort of the coefficient bars. Just a point of note, I used a slightly longer stem that normal to give my elbows some room when in the TT position. They are a proper pain to get the brake lines through.

OMG! It's my handlebar! I did a bike fit with Colby 2 or so years ago. This bar caught my attention and it wasn't too long until I had one installed on my bike. I definitely rate it.

Coefficient's other bar is pretty good too! I have an unconventional bend in my right wrist due to injury so it didn't work for me but my left side it fit really well! It has the swept back & angled tops (the natural elbow tuck is real!) and a thumb notch in the drops that made for a solid grip & a bit of cushion if you were at the ends!

Been saying that for years. Also on MTB's. Would like to see if they will rethink them as well, especially the last part where the grip is, if that is swept back a tange then it will be way more comfortable.
