As the most substantial
leading feature of a bicycle, an integrated barstem unit provides
measurable gains over a traditional stem + round handlebar setup.
OVERVIEW
The integrated barstem
feels like a custom-molded bar; the tops have the perfect shape so the
hands can cradle for comfort and security, yet aerodynamic in all the right
ways.
The Black Inc integrated
barstem not only dramatically reduces drag with integrated cable routing,
but also increases the front-end torsional stiffness for confident
cornering and sprinting. The barstem is compatible with modern internal
routed.
While aerodynamics are the
defining concern for Black Inc’s continuing engineering aspirations,
ergonomics were not forgotten. The 125mm of drop and 80mm of reach offer
the perfect fit in all riding positions.
The drop flare increases
comfort while descending and sprinting. The drops have a variable radius,
continuous shape for comfort and ease of hand movement along for multiple
positions for varied terrain.
