As the most important main component of a bicycle, an integrated stem offers significant advantages over a traditional stem-and-round-handlebar setup. This is the case withthe Black Inc Integrated Barstem 130mm
Of the three main contact points on a bicycle, perhaps the most important is the riding position. Not only is it what the rider feels and sees throughout the ride, but it’s also one of the bike’s primary leading edges, which can make a huge difference in the setup’s aerodynamics.The Black Inc Integrated Barstem 130mmoffers enormous aerodynamic advantages compared to a traditional round handlebar and separate stem, in addition to being exceptionally comfortable.
The fact that our Barstem is available in 20 different sizes means it’s practically a custom carbon Cockpit for every rider. By selecting a specific carbon fiber that’s exceptionally resistant to torsional forces while offering a degree of Vertical flexibility, the Black Inc Integrated Barstem can withstand the hardest sprint grips without letting road vibrations tire the hands and arms.
The Black Inc Integrated Barstem 130mmis compatible with both traditional external cable routing and modern internal cable routing options. The ability to route cables internally greatly enhances the aerodynamic properties of a Cockpit that has already been specifically designed to be aerodynamic and comfortable.
The tops are contoured to provide platform-like support for the hands, reducing the likelihood of hand fatigue during long climbs.
The drops are gently flared to increase comfort and control during sprints or descents. The drops also feature a strategically variable radius to offer greater comfort and ease of hand movement along their length for multiple positions depending on varying terrain.
