Best Bike Handlebars of 2025

"I appreciate the great fit and finish of these handlebars. The rise is just right for what I was aiming for, and they are incredibly lightweight."

"As someone who rides a lot in Florida, I found that these riser handlebars let me sit more upright, which has made my long rides much more comfortable."

"I initially had concerns about the fit, but these handlebars have been perfect for my tandem bike. No more leaning forward or wrist pain. They were also easy to install, which I appreciated."

"I really appreciate the solid handlebar design; it has a nice logo and allows for a super comfortable and upright riding position."

"The 96mm rise is a game changer for me. I had trouble with the 50mm rise on my Ariel Rider X-class, but this one is much more comfortable and provides the right amount of backsweep."

"These handlebars were exactly what I needed for my Trek Marlin 5. I'm no longer feeling too far forward, and I would definitely recommend them!"

"I absolutely love the handlebar! It has made a significant difference in my posture and comfort while riding. Coming from a flat handlebar, the 5-inch rise is just what I needed for my commuting and casual rides. This upgrade has transformed my bike into a much more enjoyable experience!"

"The Sunlite Steel handlebars were the perfect match for my vintage Stumpjumper. I was looking for something without a crossbar to maintain the period-correct look, and these fit perfectly. The 5-inch rise offers a comfortable position, and I appreciate the trade-off of slightly more weight for the added road comfort."

"While it took a bit longer to arrive, I found the handlebars to be of good quality and a great price. They are much lighter than I anticipated for steel bars and the finish is consistent. Although I returned them for a lower rise, I would still recommend them for anyone seeking a reliable component."

"I initially had doubts about the 60mm rise, but it's now perfect for my bike. The stock flat bar caused numb hands on long rides, and this one puts me in a much more upright position. I just need to trim it down a bit since 785mm feels a bit wide."

"I was fortunate to find one of those Intense 951s, but the handlebars were a tad too low for my liking. After swapping them for these Spoon raised handlebars, I felt a night and day difference. My riding position is now more upright, which my back appreciates, and the ride back to the trail is no longer something I dread."

"This handlebar looks fantastic on my hardtail MTB and helps me maintain an upright posture while riding. Now, at over 50 years old, I enjoy cycling along the canals, and the packaging even doubles as a front mudguard."

"I found this product to be incredibly lightweight and it really helps me achieve a comfortable riding position. Though it didn't quite meet my needs, I can't rate it less than five stars because the issue was mine, not the product's."

"As a tall guy at 6'4”, I should have gone for an XL bike, but I got a great deal on an L. After adding these 120mm bars, my riding experience has improved significantly. They put me in a more upright position, which should ease my shoulder pain during my rides around town."

"These bars have transformed my ride quality! My 64-year-old back is thankful for the support they provide. The accuracy of the markings and the 780mm width are just perfect for my needs."

"I recently upgraded to the Wake 31.8mm MTB Mountain Bike Handlebars on my Specialized Rockhopper, and I'm very satisfied with this addition. The extra width provides improved control and stability, especially on rough terrains. The installation was a breeze, and they look sleek on my bike!"

"Finally, I'm riding comfortably on my MTB! The 9-degree backsweep and 3-degree upsweep have helped my back immensely. I initially ordered the 720mm width, but after trimming it down to 660mm, I found the perfect balance between comfort and maneuverability. The construction feels solid, and I believe it will hold up well!"

"I purchased these handlebars for my first MTB, and they have made a significant difference! The wider grip is fantastic, and the quality is excellent for the price. They were simple to install, and I added a Wake stem to complete the setup!"

"I put these handlebars on my Lectric XP 3.0, replacing the original bars that made me lean forward and caused numbness in my hands on long rides. It's incredible how something so simple can transform the riding experience. I can sit straighter now, and my hands no longer feel numb. I feel I have much better control over the bike. I highly recommend this upgrade for anyone with a straight handlebar ebike!"

"I swapped my flat bars for these with more sweep. Initially, I was considering pricier options like Jones or Moloko bars but decided to try these instead since they were a fraction of the cost. I've been pleasantly surprised; they provide a comfortable ride and help me maintain a more upright posture without feeling too much like a cruiser. I might upgrade to Jones bars next season, but for now, I'm satisfied with these."

"I purchased these handlebars, not expecting much due to the low price, but they arrived solidly built and flawless. They matched my bike perfectly! I've noticed a more upright riding position with less pressure on my wrists and palms. While I might explore even more swept-back options later, I'm confident that these will keep me happy for quite a while."

"I was experiencing neck and back pain riding my vintage mountain bike. After switching to these handlebars, I found them to have a great rise and they look stylish. They really improved my ride!"

"As a taller rider, I appreciate the less aggressive riding style these handlebars offer. The retro BMX style is a nice touch, and I've noticed a significant change in my comfort while riding."

"These handlebars have completely transformed my riding experience. At 55 years old, I'm riding better than I did in my 20s. The higher rise bars have alleviated my back pain and allowed me to ride almost every day without discomfort. It's like I've rediscovered the joy of cycling!"

"I recently switched to higher handlebars and absolutely love them! My wrists no longer hurt, and I can ride without leaning over. The installation was straightforward; I just followed a YouTube tutorial. The hardest part was getting the grips off, but it only took about 15 minutes. Now, my hands feel great after rides!"

"These handlebars have made a significant difference for me. I can sit up straight while riding, which has improved my comfort immensely. I also had to extend my brake and shifter cables, but my local bike shop took care of that quickly."

"I’ve been using these handlebars for a while now, and I get so many compliments on them! They give my bike a cool motorcycle look and allow me to sit upright. I'm a six-foot-tall guy, and they feel rock solid even when I ride standing up. I'm really satisfied with my purchase!"

"I didn't buy this handlebar for myself, but for a riding partner who needed a little extra height to relieve pressure on her hands. After about three miles of casual riding, her hands would go numb, but this handlebar seems to have solved much of that problem. She’s much more relaxed now, able to ride longer without significant discomfort. It provided a moderate rise to keep her in a more upright position, and I love that it didn’t require any modifications to the bike’s cabling. Overall, a great value!"

"I had a bike with a straight handlebar that made me bend over too much, causing wrist pain. This handlebar lifts me up and puts my wrists in a more comfortable position. It’s been a game changer for my rides!"

"I installed these handlebars on my wife’s Specialized City Bike, and the change was profound. With a 5.5-inch rise, it significantly improved her riding comfort. They are steel, which I rated 4 stars, but honestly, the weight isn’t bad. Just keep in mind that you might need to adjust your brake and shifter cables. I found a neat trick to repurpose some cables, which saved me money!"
