FSA K-Wing
- Short reach: The reach of a road handlebar refers to the distance between the clamp point of the handlebar and the foremost point of its bend, measured horizontally in the direction of travel. This measurement determines the rider’s reach when riding in the lower-bar position or when gripping the shift and brake levers. The reach on FSA Shallow handlebars has been reduced from 145 mm to 125 mm. This allows for a more compact riding position and makes it considerably easier to reach and operate the shift and brake levers.
- Reduced drop: the drop has also been reduced. The drop describes the distance from the handlebar clamp to the lowest point of the lower bend. It is worth noting that the lower bend position is generally used the least, as the strain on the shoulders and back increases in this position. Reducing the drop alleviates this problem. The FSA Shallow handlebars have a drop of 80 mm, whereas an average racing handlebar has approx. 10 mm more. This makes the lower section of the handlebar easier to reach with Shallow geometry, meaning the lower section can be used more often.
- Optimised grip in the bend: the grip in the handlebar bend has been modified frequently in recent times. Previously, this area was simply the result of the bend radius. Nowadays, however, this area is often significantly straightened out based on anatomical considerations. The Shallow design strikes a balance between classic and straight bends. The unergonomic sections of the handlebar where the curved section transitions into the straight section are eliminated, allowing the handlebar to be gripped comfortably anywhere.
- The grip on the lower section remains as long as before: the redesign of the reach and drop makes the end of the handlebar appear longer, but it is actually the same length as on conventional road handlebars, so a comfortable grip is maintained.
- Oversized, widened clamp area in the centre of the handlebar: another significant feature of the new Shallow handlebars is the widening of the oversized clamp area, 31.8 mm, to 120 mm. More and more devices, such as cycle computers, heart rate and power meters, or GPS units, are being mounted on the handlebars. FSA has responded to this trend by widening the central clamp area. This makes it easier and safer to mount these devices on the handlebars
