Thomson Carbon Road Bar
Thomson's carbon fiber roadbike handlebar features a mild wing shape on top, a clamping area wide enough for aero bars and mid-compact reach and drop. This is the modern roadbike handlebar bar for the modern roadbike. Thomson's road bar wing section is small enough that it won't restrict hand movement when riding on the top and allows bar angle adjustment with out “locking out” your wrists. Shaping on the bottom side of the wing allows housing to be taped out of the way without the use of narrow housing channels or internal routing, both of which shorten bar life. Certified to EN, tested to DIN+.
Layup uses 3 different fiber types with different tensile modulus, including High Strength carbon fiber. This helps allocate stifness and flex were needed. All Thomson's carbon fiber is produced by Toray and uses tailor made Nano Epoxy Resin for very high impact resistance. Toray is the main supplier of carbon fiber for Boeing and Airbus.
The Thomson Carbon Road Bar is made in one piece, not three pieces co-molded and glued together
1.5K woven impact ends help prevent damage to unidirectional fibers from impact.
