We threw in a bit of everything for our take on the ultimate gravel handlebar setup. Rise, sweep, and flare make for an ultra-comfortable handlebar that keeps you in control no matter the terrain. Add the Cruise Control Top and Drop Grips and our Really Long Bar Tape to get to next-level comfort and performance.

DESCRIPTION

This is a Scratch and Dent product:

Our "scratch and dent" Kitchen Sink Handlebars are all new and unused but have minor surface-level marks or inconsistencies in the finish that didn't quite meet our standards during the final visual inspection. There may be some cosmetic scratches, blemishes, or install marks from the manufacturing process, shipping, or even temporarily mounting on a bike for marketing purposes. Functionally, these handlebars are identical to their full-priced counterparts.

These Scratch and Dent items are unavailable locally in the UK, EU, AUS, and CAN - please email us if you are interested in purchasing from one of those locations.

NOTE: Physical performance & durability are not compromised in any way. Scratch and Dent products are still covered under our Lifetime Warranty and our 90-day Risk-Free trial does apply, however, these items can't be returned based on their scratches, blemishes, or aesthetic appearances in general.

Additionally, you cannot apply other discount codes to Scratch and Dent units.

The Kitchen Sink Handlebar:

For the rider that wants to go everywhere, the Kitchen Sink Handlebar is the bar that has everything.  With widths from 44 cm up to 53 cm, it's clear we believe in wide.  But the added stability and control of a wider bar should not come at the cost of comfort.  So we've thrown everything into this handlebar: 

• 20mm RISE means less pressure on the hands and a broad range of fit options.
• 7° SWEEP means the bar is positioned where your hands want to be, whether you're on the flats, the hoods or the drops. 
• 25° FLARE on a compact drop means a stable, aerodynamic drop position that is actually comfortable enough to use.
• Optional endurance loop adds an alternative aerodynamic riding position and a perfect spot for gear storage and mounting accessories.

Paired with the ergonomic Cruise Control Grip System and Really Long Bar Tape, and it's a do-everything bar that redefines drop bar comfort.

We think wider is better. Particularly when riding off-road, the additional leverage and stability afforded by the wider handlebars dramatically improve handling and control, especially while descending and climbing.
 

 

If you're used to riding with a typical road bike drop bar width (38-46cm), we highly suggest trying a wider bar - the difference in effective arm angle is negligible, but the effect on control and comfort is dramatic. If you're concerned about going wider than the common advice to "aim for shoulder width", look at mountain bike handlebars as an example - 76-80cm wide handlebars are common, even though almost nobody has shoulders that wide. Very few people want to go narrower once they've tried a wider bar.
