Description
No.9 6F Carbon Handlebar – Versatile Control for Every Terrain
Engineered for cyclists who demand adaptability without compromise, this flared drop bar excels on paved roads, rugged gravel paths, and technical cyclocross circuits. The signature 6° flare geometry enhances steering precision while maintaining ergonomic hand positioning during extended rides—a critical upgrade for modern hydraulic shifter systems (tested compatible with Shimano/SRAM/Santa Cruz).
Performance Highlights
– Unidirectional carbon fiber construction (200T weave)
– Optimized 125mm drop / 67mm reach ratio for sportive riding posture
– Reinforced inside radius withstands aggressive cornering forces
– Compatible with extended brake levers (tested up to 160mm reach)
Terrain-Ready Design
✓ Gravel road stability through increased palm surface area
✓ Reduced forearms contact in drops compared to flat bars
✓ Modular clamp design fits 31.8mm handlebars
Why cyclists choose this over standard drop bars:
| Feature | Standard Drop Bar | No.9 6F Carbon |
|---|---|---|
| Flare Angle | 0° | 6° |
| Drop Depth | 120mm | 125mm |
| Brake Lever Clearance | Limited | Full compatibility |
| Weight Savings | N/A | Up to 200g lighter* |
Perfect upgrade for:
▸ Endurance road bikes needing hand relief
▸ Gravel rigs requiring precise control
▸ Cyclocross frames seeking race-ready geometry
The slightly shortened reach (compared to Whisky’s wider models) naturally accommodates today’s longer hydraulic shifters while maintaining classic drop bar aesthetics. Whether navigating urban group rides or muddy cross-country courses, this bar delivers responsive handling paired with fatigue-reducing ergonomics.
