Fair Wheel Bikes compares 50 mountain bike handlebars through controlled deflection testing. The results examine how width, rise, sweep, clamp diameter and material influence stiffness, weight and ride characteristics, including multiple configurations of select models to isolate how individual design variables affect performance.
