UPANBIKE Trekking Cycling Mountain Bike Road Bicycle Butterfly Handlebar with Sponge (φ25.4mm 31.8mm)

I've tried road bike drop-style bars, flat bars and other multi-position handlebars, but this one is the best for comfort and ergonomics. Let's face it - kind-of looks dorky but who cares if you're comfortable for hours on end. This was an easy and affordable upgrade, and took about hour to install and move all the controls over. I have a 25.4 stem and the bar feels plenty stiff enough for my uses. I ended up using bar tape instead of the foam that comes with the bar. The foam felt a bit cheap for me. Bottom line: if you don't mind the looks of this bar, don't hesitate to get it!

I have tried about every combination of flat and riser handlebars and grips and nothing work for me as far as numbness in both hands after a few miles. They look a little funky but you can put your hands all over these handlebars if your hands start to tingle. I wish I found these a long time ago, I would have saved hundreds of dollars and not be stuck with a bunch of extra bars and grips. I might even try a set on my mountain bike. A little tip when installing foam I left the bars off the bike and used liquid dish soap only no water. Apply a little on the bars and drip some on the inside the grips and they slide on pretty easy. Let them dry for a few days and your good to go. Hope this helps....

Foam cover is a pain to install.

Great for commuting without getting sore wrists.Added benefit is the rounded sides are safer when using your bike as a cart in the store.

The handle bars are what I wanted. I get roughly 5 different hand positions now to help combat hand fatigue and nerve pain. I rode a 20+ mile ride, and a 30+ mile ride back to back in two days with this handlebar. I didn't feel discomfort until the last 3 miles or so of that second ride. Bar tape was easy to install (I didn't use the foam the bars came with.) The only complaint I have is toward my own novice mechanic skills: that is I had to learn where to place my shifter/brake cables. My advice is to place them so that the cable routes in relaxed curves.

i used an air gun from my compressor to install pads. They will split if not careful. The bar is light and easy to install. I might get new cables and housings to install brakes and shifters on the upper bar section instead of lower.

No problems at all. Stiff enough, too. A little flex at the ends, but certainly nothing unreasonable or scary.Dish soap and a little water on the bar worked fine for getting the sponge on. I also discovered that if you soak the sponge itself it gets soft and goes on much easier. It dried within an hour or two, and after everything dried up the slipperiness disappeared, too. But now I am thinking that a good rain might bring back the slip of the sponge on the bars.. . . Not a good thing, and I might want to replace the sponge with cushioned bar tape if this happens.

Including the two corners I have five hand positions on these bars. They look a bit silly at first but I've grown to love these bars as my rides just feel better and my hands never hurt. A side note, this is a cheep version of trekking bars and you can feel it, there is some flex to the bars I can feel but for me that's what I wanted so I like it.The foam is awful but I recommend you use it for a while to see how it feels to you since no matter how you try to wrap these bars some part will always be wrapped incorrectly.You may have to get a new stem or cables depending on your setup but again it's cheep enough to just try out and make these adjustments later, that's what I've done anyway.
