Overview
Our new DRV/sizer bar has been created to aid fitter sin setting up their clients correctly. The bar allows the width to be changed with just the flip of a quick release, additionally the shape of the bar can be changed by swapping in one of the other DRV sizes.
You can now offer your client the ability to trial different handlebar widths and bar drop options in just seconds, rather than the laborious process of swapping out a complete bar. Ideal for fit bikes, it can also be used on the riders current bike to experiment with position.
With the success of our industry leading DRV sizing we wanted to make it easy to choose the best one of the nine available sizes. Of course, allowing the rider to trial the DRV bars will also help you sell the bars as upgrades after the fit.
What is your DRiVe?: Gone are the days of simply measuring a drop bar by the standard reach, drop and width. Our DRiVe metric pinpoints the precise position in the drops where riders instinctively place their hands. The metric is incorporated into a new series of progressively sized handlebars designed around a cyclist's most powerful hand positions.
-
The DRiVe Metric: The DRiVe (Drop Reach Variant) position is measured via a 73° line beginning at the bar bore. The DRiVe metric pinpoints the line intersection with the drop.
-
DRiVe Reclaims Comfort, Power & Control: Modern drop bar designs are deeply tied to tradition. They are designed based on outdated road bike sizing rendering many of cycling intended hand positions unattainable when riding modern frame geometry. The ride positions that are the most powerful and allow for the most control have now shifted into virtually unattainable positions. DRiVe reclaims many of the ideal positions most critical to comfort, power, and control.
-
Fit Made Simple: To predict the DRiVe position of any given rider, we looked at an anthropological study focusing on the correlation among handbreadth, shoulder width, and height. By measuring your handbreadth we can easily identify a DRiVe that will be compatible with your body type.
-
Progressive Ergonomics: The tops and hoods complement the powerhouse DRiVe position and the Reach and DRiVe are progressively sized as the bar increases in width. This progressive sizing ensures the most powerful positions remain right where they are needed.
