The DRV/GMR offers enhanced fit options and greater comfort than other drop bars. Where most gravel bars flare the drops we’ve kept the upper part of the drops straight, with a significant flare in the lower part of the drops. This is to allow the levers to be held in the way they were designed. Additionally we’ve added 9mm of rise on the tops and hoods (compared to other DRV bars) to facilitate a higher position.
The DRiVe metric by Profile Design pinpoints the precise position in the drops where riders instinctively place their hands. The metric is incorporated into a new series of progressively sized handlebars designed around a cyclist’s most powerful hand positions.
DRiVe drop bars allow for many of the ideal ride positions most critical to comfort, power, and control.
