Japanese company SimWorks just announced its all-new  Still Cruisin Bar. This bar is a new Nitto masterpiece, featuring a bullmoose design with sweep and a slight rise…

Hi-Yo, Silver, Away!!! PNW Components is back with another one of its classic products, available in silver for all you purist metal heads who like to see your bikes shine. The bars are treated with a scratch-averse anodized and sandblasted finish, with an extra brilliant pop of silver foil decals. The brand’s Gen 4 Range Handlebar is now available in a shiny silver finish, in both 31.8 and 35 mm clamp, in 25, 38, or 50 mm rise.

If it ain’t moto, it’s worthless. The Boneshaker Cacti Riser Bar ($200 CAD) is designed after the Magura handlebars from early Cruisers and Klunkers. Optimized halfway between a group shred and an off-road touring bar, this handlebar hits a middle ground where comfort and bike handling are both prioritized.

Specs:

• 22° of backsweep allows for long days in the saddle, but still won’t keep you from whipping your bike around and pivoting your hands around your bars.
• 820 mm wide
• 3.33 inches (85 mm) rise, get that back up a little and cut that steerer tube!
• Wide center section, optimized for stabilizing your cargo.  Featuring wider anchor points making your handlebar bags less floppy.
• 4130-seamless Chromoly steel tubing, provides amazing ride characteristics, durability and repairability.
• Handmade in Montreal, Canada by Le Cacti

SimWorks just brought back one of its classic bar designs with longtime collaborator Jeremy Sycip – a renowned framebuilder and fabricator based out of Santa Rosa, CA – the J.B. Bar. The J.B. Bar had previously been produced for Sycip by Nitto – but had been out of production for several years.

It’s just a handlebar plug, right? Sure, but when the machinist bike nerds at PAUL start designing, prototyping, (obsessing), and testing a project, even a simple bar plug can end up at NASA-level standards of tolerance, function, and reliability. Introducing the BEP Handlebar Plugs. They install in drop bars or MTB bars with a 5 mm Allen key and lock into position, never rattling loose…

As John worked through his Rivendell Bombadil 2.0 build, he needed a bit more width on his new Sim Works Getaround CrMo bars, so first, he tried some pretty sketchy eBay extenders. This prompted Luke from Soma to send over the Handlebar Extenders. Read on for a look at what 100 mm of extension looks like and the one compromise…

No need for bar extenders now! Japanese bike shop Blue Lug just announced that the beloved Fairweather bullmoose bars now come in a wide option, B923. Blue Lug worked with Nitto to widen the width and extension of these Ritchey-inspired bars. The resulting bars became 40 mm wider than the B903, making the B923 bars 750 mm wide…

After running bar “inners” on his trail bike and hardtail all last summer, John was stoked to hear of Rogue Panda‘s newest component offering, Bamboo Shoots. Much like Rogue Panda’s recent releases, these made-in-Arizona aluminum bar “inners” have some clever detailing so let’s check them out…

Shorter head tubes mean a shorter stack, and a number of riders have found that higher handlebars are a good way to compensate. Hope just announced its made in the UK 35R riser bar ($235.46). These handlebars have a rise of 35 mm and are 100% designed, tested, and manufactured in Barnoldswick, UK, from fully recyclable carbon fiber. Expect the 35R to arrive in April.

You’ve seen those hydraulic tests versus various subjects on this channel. But how about bicycle handlebars? Don’t miss the end test with tube cuts!

Slug Bicycles is back in 2025 with a full rebrand and two new products; its Gasser hardtail MTB ($2700) and Terrestrial Ti Bars ($265). Let’s check it all out…

“Just get the right-length handlebar,” they’ll say. But what if the right-length bar doesn’t come in the right shape? Or it’s not the right vintage? Or you just really like the bar you have? That’s why handlebar extenders exist. Problem is, none seem to be designed for aggressive riding. Except for the ones Travis found from a small fabricator tucked away in a vintage BMX forum.

Previously announced in the Range aluminum handlebar, now the Loam Carbon handlebar ($164) from PNW Components comes in a 50 mm rise, solving some of the issues with lower stack bikes and perhaps a new trend in higher-rise bars Travis hit on last week. The Loam bars are engineered with top-shelf carbon, feature an anti-fatigue geometry, and are made with PNW’s patent-pending CBD Layup, bringing unparalleled chatter-absorbing comfort. Resulting in a light and nimble ride.

We’re sharing this news because every time a pair of Rons Ortho Back Bars pops up on our Rad Bazaar, they’re gone in an instant. Crust Bikes just got a shipment of the silver or black upright handlebars, and like previous stocks, they won’t last. So, if you’re tired of being hunched over a 1990s racing MTB, it’s time for Ortho Back Bars.

Ergonomics company SQlab just announced its all new 314 gravel handlebar today, with 25 mm of rise built-in…

Blue Lug is probably one of the only online shops (let’s face it, they’re shaping a lot of the bike culture in Tokyo too) that can make a handlebar with Nitto and immediately sell out of them. Not unlike a limited Nike drop or an ultra-limited vinyl pressing. The Nitto Jam Bar ($57) is a case in point. Super affordable, comfy, and strong…
