material beneath and mould may form.

completely.

Multi-position handlebars are ideal for dynamic
riding. The contoured ends of the handlebars, also
known as horn handlebars, provide a variety of
grip options. Changing muscle groups reduces
strain on the hands, arms and back during longer
rides.

riding.
 This prevents overstraining and fatigue in your
hands.
