I tried reading the links to UCI regs concerning CX bikes here in the forum. I'm not sure how up to date they were, but I didn't see anything mentioning the legality of bullhorn handlebars. I've heard barends on flat bars are currently illegal though. What's the status of bullhorn handlebars?

Thanks.

I doubt it, but I'm not sure. Maybe the "mass start event" rule also applies to cyclocross?

I tried bullhorns on a mountain bike once, and didn't like it at all. Every bump felt like it was going to throw you over the handlebars.

No straight bar or drop bar. No bulhorns or bar ends
