With a reach of 73 mm and a drop of 125 mm (400 mm width outside – outside), our Evo roadbar is ergonomically designed for both the drop and the brake lever position. The involute curve of the drops allows you to find an aerodynamic but not too low position on your bike. When riding on the brake levers, the almost horizontal front part of the drops ensures an uninterrupted line with the brake levers, which optimally relieves your wrists even on long rides. The flattened top allows you to have an anatomical and comfortable grip even in the top position. In order to achieve extreme rigidity with minimal weight, the top bar was not designed to be too flat. In addition, the lightweight carbon handlebar has recessed cable grooves on the underside, for those who do not want to have to laboriously route the cables in the racing handlebar. The levers are easy to reach even with small hands.
Like all our products in the TLO series, our lightweight full carbon roadbars are hand-wound (about carbon) from the best prepregs available on the market to suit your weight and riding style. The layer structure, which has been further refined over 30 years of production experience, with up to 17 layers in the heavily loaded centre section and only 5 layers in the less stressed lower curve, enables the incredible weights despite the well-known stiffness and legendary indestructibility.
Please note that we measure our carbon drop bars from the outside to the outside. Our roadbars are not designed for use with triathlon or time trial handlebars as standard. If you would like to use your lightweight carbon handlebars with aero handlebars, please let us know when ordering. The necessary reinforcement increases the weight of the carbon bar by around 7 g. All our drop bars can be shortened by 10 mm at their ends. Commercial customers are usually supplied with standard handlebars, i.e. without time trial handlebar reinforcement. These thin-walled carbon handlebars can be supplemented with our customised carbon brake levers and carbon bar plugs.
The lightweight roadbars are also available with optional holes for internal cable routing (ICR). This option has 3 holes: one each in the inside curve at brake handle height on the left and right side, and a third hole in the middle of the drop bar. If you are planning internal cable routing for your setup, please remember to select the “ICR ready” option when ordering. The necessary reinforcement increases the overall weight of the carbon handlebar by approximately 4 g.
All our lightweight carbon roadbars are unpainted to avoid adding unnecessary weight. Above all, the epoxy surface is much more resistant than any paint finish. It is therefore not scratched as quickly. All our lightweight carbon drop handlebars come in the current matt look. TLO drop bars can be ordered in 1k weave or UD. 1K is the classic carbon look with (biaxially) crossed fibres. With UD (unidirectional), all carbon fibres run in one direction. This gives the surface a uniform black, almost painted look. In general, UD carbon parts are a few grams heavier than 1K carbon parts. Learn more about UD and 1k here
To create the perfect look on your bike, all TLO carbon roadbars are available in 3 different logo colours: Schmolke Edition (red / white), Black Edition and White Edition.
Always use a torque tool for installation!
