SQlab 302 3.0 Handlebar - 31.8 | Trekking

In the version 3.0, the SQlab 302 handlebar is designed especially for Trekking bikes. The clever tuning of Rise, Backsweep, Downsweep and handlebar width creates an ergonomic, relaxed posture on the touring bike.

While the handlebar height (Rise) allows a more upright sitting position on the bike, the downward bend (Downsweep) provides relaxation for neck and shoulders. The above-average width guarantees safety and stability, but can be shortened at any time. The bend backwards (Backsweep) provides a straight transition from the forearm to the hand to reduce the occurrence of numbness or fingers falling asleep.

Advantages of handlebars with Downsweep:

Handlebars with too little Downsweep force the hands to rotate inward. As a result, the elbows move outward while the shoulders are pulled toward the head. This unnatural posture can cause the shoulder and neck muscles to become very tense.

The combination of Downsweep and Backsweep provides a natural hand position and an elbow position close to the body. This natural posture lowers the shoulders and the muscles in the neck receive better blood flow and relax due to a looser position.

Safety & Quality | All SQlab comfort handlebars are manufactured to MTB standard and have passed the most demanding test protocol of the Zedler Institute for Downhill handlebars.
