"Where have Coefficient bars been for the last 15 years? So many beneficial hand placement options. Those notches on the drops are so practical. Endless Gains..."

"The Coefficient AR's shape encourages external shoulder rotation – a superior position for core & thoracic stability, breathing mechanics, nervous system function & grip strength."

"...I quickly noticed a big change when riding in the drops along a stony towpath. This bar has the most effective vibration isolation of any that I've used..."

This episode below tells a great story of fit as well as the science behind the Coefficient AR bar, with former Olympian Colby Pearce.

"After 3 months, I still appreciate how much better it rides. Every. Single. Ride. I used to spend 80% of my time on the hoods, now it’s like 50% on the tops and 40% on the hoods. Narrow is aero, and the Coefficient bars pocket my elbows naturally at my sides, not like chicken wings in the wind.”

“As a former pro cyclist, I appreciate how subtle changes in position can maximize efficiency and performance. The Coefficient Handlebar relaxes my trapezius (neck) and pectorals (upper chest) muscles and allows me to put more power into pedaling, especially on long climbs. And my elbows naturally rotate closer to my body, to a more aerodynamic position. At the end of long rides, with fewer muscles held in tension for hours, I feel less fatigued.”

“I love the Coefficient bar! The slope and sweep really allows the wrists and shoulders to sit more naturally. This, in turn, is improving my breathing and position on the bike.”

"Good feel when pulling on them while climbing seated. For sure less 'deadness' felt in arms/shoulders. Great extra comfort when on the tops.”

"I have been amazed by how good the tops feel! The thumb notch in the drops is also a game-changer in sprints and on dirt descents. You are definitely onto something really good here!"

"To my surprise (I’m skeptical) they really make a difference to my comfort level! I've always ridden in pain but I continue to ride because the pleasure was greater. But...with these new bars, the pain is finally relieved. Growing up La Ganga, there’s a lot of steady climbing, so I’m in one gear. It’s the same going down. This allows me to comfortably stay on the tops, in a position that’s different to being on the hoods. From this, I have less neck and shoulder pain. Woohoo!
I also feel in control on the tops. I never did with any other handlebars. Clearly, I had tops then too 😃but I always felt the bike was wobbly when in the tops, especially going downhill.
I was tired yesterday before I even started out and yet I had a slew of PRs. I was very surprised. The bars? The disc brake not rubbing? A combination of the two? Whatever, I’m happy! 😃
Moltes moltes gràcies!!"
