BOULDER, CO (CN) – You can’t get any more narrow than these bars. Knuckles Handlebars from Retspih offer the city commuter unparalleled speed and versatility while navigating the busy city streets. Chamois News tech editors got the opportunity to test these new bars ahead of this years Urban Bike Fair in Brooklyn, New York. Functionality was key in creating these new bars as reduced shoulder and arm width allow riders to easily move through narrow traffic openings and reduce side mirror confrontations. Top end speed is also a benefit of these drastically refined bars. In testing, riders were able to reach speeds of 50+ mph during the Broadway Bomb in rush hour traffic.
