ProTaper Contour Carmichael Handlebar - Red

The ProTaper Contour Carmichael Handlebar - Red is a 1-1/8 in. clamp handlebar from ProTaper's Contour line, built from a proprietary 2000 series T6 aluminum alloy and finished with shot peening, stress relieving, and anodizing for lasting durability. The Carmichael bend is a shape named after the profile associated with that riding style, and the red anodized finish is paired with chemically applied graphics that resist scratching and peeling. It comes with a crossbar pad included, knurling on the clutch side for grip adhesion, and 1/4 in. cut guides if you need to trim the width. At 1.55 lbs. without the pad, it sits at an accessible price point for riders who want a solid balance of fatigue life, impact strength, and flex.

This bar has a rise of 40mm, which lifts the grip area a moderate amount above the clamp and works well for riders who spend time standing or prefer a more upright position. The 55mm sweep angles the grips back toward the rider for a relaxed wrist angle, reducing strain on longer rides. The 800mm width provides good steering leverage and can be trimmed down, and the 180mm control area gives ample straight section for mounting levers and switches.
