Roadbar Oversize Compact SL

General

The obvious advantage of the oversized handlebar is its middle section’s larger diameter. This results in a considerably stiffer handlebar. In addition to that, its wide and flat top makes for an ergonomic and comfortable grip when riding with your hands on the tops. The flat section design is also more aerodynamic than the round-section version with its larger frontal area.

With its drop and reach of 136 mm and 92 mm respectively, this handlebar is also designed with ergonomics in mind for both the drop and the hood position. In addition to that, the handlebar comes with recessed cable grooves on its underside. The radiuses of the side parts follow the well proven design of the compact series. The drops effectively raise the brake hoods, the levers are easier to reach, with small hands in particular.

When riding on the hoods the horizontal forward part of the drop makes for an unbroken line with the hoods. These handlebars too are made to measure. Stems with 31.8 mm clamping diameter including those with four clamping bolts may be used. These thin walled handlebars may be completed with our custom made oversize carbon bar plugs.

All Schmolke Carbon seatposts and handlebars are unpainted to avoid unnecessary weight.

Ordering

Keep in mind that we measure our road bars from the outside to the outside. Our handlebars as standard are not made to be used with triathlon or time trial bars. If you want to use one of our bars with aero bars, please choose this option when placing your order. The necessary strengthening will add some 8 g to the bar’s weight.

If desired, we can also custom make your bar with long ends. All our bars may be shortened at their ends by 10 mm. Trade customers, as a rule, are supplied with standard bars, that’s no time trial bar reinforcement and short bar ends.
