PLT Compact Handlebar

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I spec the PRO PLT Compact Handlebar on road and gravel builds where the rider wants to spend more time in the drops without the discomfort that comes from a more aggressive bend. The 75mm reach and 128mm drop hit a sweet spot that works for a wide range of riders, and the AL-2014 double butted construction keeps the weight honest at a price point that makes it an easy recommendation."

Spending more time in the drops is one of the simplest ways to improve your position on a road or gravel bike, and the PRO PLT Compact Handlebar makes that transition feel natural from the first ride. The compact bend shortens the positional shift between the hoods and the drops, so moving between hand positions mid-ride becomes fluid and intuitive rather than something you have to think about or work up to.

The AL-2014 double butted alloy construction keeps the bar light without compromising the durability and stiffness a performance road or gravel setup demands. A 75mm reach and 128mm drop suit a broad range of rider sizes and fit preferences, and three width options from 360mm to 400mm let you match the bar precisely to your shoulder width and riding style. Whether your next ride is a long gravel route or a fast road loop, the PLT Compact puts you in a position to perform comfortably from start to finish.
