SENQI Bike Handlebar PRO Aluminum Alloy Bicycle Handle Bar Big Angle Bend Handlebar Drop Handlebar for Gravel Bikes MTB 22.2 * 31.8mm,430 * 560mm,470 * 610mm,510 * 640mm Black

I bought these as an alternative to doing a drop bar conversion whilst turning an old MTB into a gravel bike and have been really impressed so far. Nice and lightweight and offer multiple hand positions as desired and they look really good once the grip tape has been applied. The obvious benefit is that you get to keep your existing hardware (shifters/brake levers etc) but I did have to replace the shifter cables to be able to reach the mounting points, so that's an extra potential expense to factor in.

I purchased these handlebars after seeing the Surly Corner bar. The Surly bars are really wide, very heavy, and have a 25.4mm middle. They're also over £100.I thought I would try these as a cheaper alternative. First impressions are great - very comfortable, easy to install and the material and paint finish feel high quality. I'm convinced there is a slight twist in mine, but I'm yet to measure this accurately and it's barely perceivable so I will not mark it down and will edit the review once measured.Have been out on a few rides and so far the performance has been great. I fitted a shorter stem (70mm down from 105mm) when I installed which I think was a good idea for comfort, but I don't think I needed to change so dramatically, I may go up to 90mm.My shifters and brakes are joined in the same housing and I actually found it comfier to install my levers from the drop upwards rather than over the top of the 'hoods' as most recommend. I don't think this has had such a negative impact on my ride. I've also added some small inner bar ends for an extra comfortable position.I was due to change my brake and shifter cables so did this as the same time. This was a necessity as I had to add an extra 1 - 2 inches of cable on the shifters as the pull was too dramatic when I turned the handlebars.Overall these seem good quality and perform well. Value for money is so-so. These are much cheaper than the Surly bars, but I think they are still quite expensive for what you get (£59 at time of purchase) and if you could pick up cheaper then they would be perfect.

Lighter and narrower than a Surly Corner bar, and way cheaper.Given my hardtail a new lease of life as a gravel-ish bike, these bars are much nicer to honk up road hills than flat bars without being too awful off road.

It's a quick and simple job to swap out flat bars for these with the controls simply unbolting from one and onto the other. The welds are big and ugly but the bar position is near perfect for me. I had wanted to try the Surly Corner Bar but they're just too expensive, particularly for an experiment. At this price, it makes more sense. Now I've used these, I think I'll be converting my other bike.

Bought as a cheap alternative to the Surly Corner Bar. They are quite light weight.It has taken a lot of playing to get the right bar position and I have bought some 22mm extenders (not in photo) so I have enough space for my hands in a top position.Overall this was a good buy and saved me the wait of buying a carbon pair on AliExpress, or paying £130 for the proper Surly set.
