Fair Bicycle has launched the 6-7 handlebar, which merges the benefits of 31.8mm and 35mm handlebars. This new design offers 50% more compliance than a 31.8mm bar while maintaining the steering stiffness of a 35mm bar. The handlebar features a flat-oval design in the middle, transitioning to a standard 22.2mm diameter at the ends. Additionally, a 'flex central shim' enhances vibration damping and allows compatibility with 35mm stems, ensuring balanced force distribution.
"Fair's new handlebar standard combines the best aspects of both handlebar diameters, claiming to offer 50% more compliance than a 31.8mm bar while maintaining the precision of a 35mm bar."
"The specially-shaped handlebar features a flat-oval design in the middle, which enables the 6-7 bars to achieve significant compliance, transitioning to a standard 22.2mm diameter at the ends."
"The 'flex central shim' is designed to lock into place on top of the 6-7's flat portion, significantly aiding in vibration damping and ensuring compatibility with 35mm stems."
