Bend handlebar road bike advantages
Multiple Hand Positions There are at least three positions where you can put your hands in the design of the curved road bike: the pull-down handlebar position, the two handlebars, and the middle of the handlebar. Different positions allow you to change different postures to relieve the soreness caused by riding in one position for a long time. At the same time, different positions also represent different riding postures. The position of the pull-down handlebar is more in line with aerodynamics, allowing you to follow the quickly.
Narrower handlebars Road bikes with curved handlebars are usually 10-20 cm narrower than road bikes with flat handlebars, so your passability is better, and you can pass more smoothly in more limited places.
Climbing You can ride with a more forward-leaning position, easily shifting the weight to the front, which allows you to climb hills with less effort and maximize leverage.
Looks cooler Of course this is a subjective factor, in most cases, the road looks more relaxed on the handlebars.

It will be slower. Flat roads are usually not as aerodynamic as curved roads. When you ride more than 25 km/h, you may obviously feel the impact of wind resistance on you.
It looks disharmonious. Many riders look down on Pingba road, and it feels a little nondescript. It is an awkward situation between XC and road bikes.
The configuration of the flat handlebar road is relatively low, which is more suitable for commuting. Of course, there are many enthusiasts who like to change their own flat handlebar road. The curved handlebar road is more suitable for young people who like to pursue speed and passion. No matter what kind of bicycle, you What you like is the best.
