Long handlebar -What is it for?
Hi,
I orderd an Easton EC70 carbon handlebar which is 660 mm length.
My current bike has an Aluminum 640 mm bar.
I am 6ft 2" and like XC and moderate singletracks.
Is there a big difference riding longer or shorter bar?
I don't race but its nice to ride fast if you can. But I do like to handle better on climbing and going down in singletracks.
Does bar length related to type of ride? and how much effect it has?
Thanks
Jo
