Atlas 1/2in Riser Handlebar

7050-T76 aluminum is known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for high-performance applications like bike handlebars. This alloy is lightweight yet incredibly strong, which means you can enjoy a more responsive ride without adding unnecessary weight to your bike.

The cold-drawn process enhances the strength and surface finish of the metal by pulling it through a die at room temperature. This results in handlebars that are not only stronger but also have a smoother finish, which can improve grip and overall handling during rides.

Internal butting is a technique where the thickness of the handlebar material varies along its length. Thicker areas are placed where more stress occurs, while thinner sections reduce weight. This design balances durability and lightweight performance, ensuring that the handlebars can withstand the rigors of biking without being overly heavy.

Riser handlebars provide a higher center, allowing for a more upright riding position. This design enhances control and comfort, especially on rough terrain, making them a popular choice among mountain bikers and gravity riders who need better handling and stability.

An anodized finish creates a protective layer on the aluminum, increasing its corrosion resistance and surface hardness. This means that anodized handlebars are more durable and can better withstand harsh weather conditions, ensuring they maintain their appearance and performance over time.

The combination of high-strength materials like 7050-T76 aluminum, advanced manufacturing processes like cold-drawing and internal butting, ergonomic designs like riser handlebars, and protective finishes like anodizing all work together to create handlebars that are lightweight, durable, and comfortable. This enhances your overall biking experience by improving control, reducing fatigue, and ensuring longevity of the components.
