WALMER Bar

Our super wide drop bar is available in four widths: 46, 50, 55 and 60cm wide at the hoods or 61, 65, 70 or 75cm at the drops. Scared to go too wide? The 46 and 50cm options are perfect flared dirt drop bars for gravel grinding. The 46 is super comfortable for endurance road riding. Choose the 55 or 60 option for drop bar mountain bikes, off-road touring or fat-tyre bikepacking missions. Want a wider drop bar? Find a wider planet!   The Future is W I D EDesigned in MelbourneWalmer Bars are designed to service the rigours and demands of rugged gravel and off-road bikepacking. No handlebar on the market was the right width or shape, so we decided to create our own.Bikepacking HeavenOriginally intended to complement the new GMX+ bikepacking platform, Walmer Bars also work with any gravel bike or off-road beast. Walmer Bars bring the stability and control of MTB bars combined with the multiple hand positions of drop bars. The extra width also offers more storage space for bar-mounted bags, lights, navigation etc.Why Wide Drop Bars?The ability to change hand position regularly prevents pressure and tension build-up, and helps minimise numbness and blisters. A wider handlebar also offers more stability and control, particularly when descending sketchy terrain on a loaded bike. It also gives added leverage when tackling technical climbs.What’s with the Name?Breathe in! Named after a narrow pedestrian/cycle bridge on the Yarra River in Melbourne. There’s little room for anything else if Walmer Bars are crossing.SpecsWalmer Bar Sizes40, 43, 46BP, 50BP, 55, 60Hood Width (mm)400, 430, 460, 500, 550, 600Total Width (mm)550, 580, 610, 650, 700, 750Weight (grams)358, 378, 397, 422, 423, 450Reach (mm)65mm | 60mm (sizes 55 & 60)Drop (mm)110Flare29°Sweep7°Clamp Size (mm)31.8Drop Section Diameter (mm)23.8Influenced by MTB bar design, we’ve integrated 7° of sweep to the flat section.
