UPANBIKE Bike Butterfly Handlebar Aluminum Alloy Wide Three-dimensional Rest Bar Riser Bar With Sponge Cover For Trekking Mountain Bike Road Bike(31.8mm*620mm)

Very nice handlebars. Definitely wider than I expected, and they do make the bike look a bit goofy and unwieldy. However, with so many grip positions it's has really elevated my riding experience. Love the feel of a flat bar and the ability to lean in if I want to. The wideness is actually kind of cool when you start riding and realize how many different grip positions and angles you have. One really neat position is to put your elbows into the bends at the sides and lean way forward. Works great at high speed! Love that I can use trigger shifters with these. Very lightweight, not much different from what they replaced. Sturdy too.

Ok bars are awesome. 😎 Comfortable and so many positions, absolutely helped my back.

The straight handlebars that came stock on my Giant Escape 2 hybrid bike were fine. However, I enjoy really long rides and my wrists would get tired and often fall asleep with the constant pressure as I was always leaning forward. After a lot of research, I decided to try these out to see if they would help, and they do. The closer grips bring me into a more upright position, lessening the weight I put on my wrists. It's not completely upright, like a cruiser, but it is definitely more comfortable. Installation was pretty easy. I took photos of all of the brake and shifter positions before I disassembled everything. A few hex wrenches and 10 minutes later I had the old handlebar and controls off. At first I tried to brute-force the foam grips onto the bars, but after about 6" they wouldn't budge anymore. After a quick YouTube search, I saw that the easiest way to get these on is to put soapy water on the inside of the tubes and on the bars. Once I did that, they slid on pretty easily and into place. The new handlebars fit perfectly. It took a little bit of trial and error to figure out the best angle for me. I wanted to have 4 comfortable positions: 1) nearly-upright with brakes and shifters. 2) Hands on the side grips, for being out of the saddle and going uphill and giving the feel of drop handlebars 3) thumbs in the top corners for a grip similar to being on the hoods of drop handlebars. 4) hands on the far grips, with forearms resting comfortably on the near grips, if I needed to get more aerodynamic. Good news is I was able to achieve all of these. I got the bars on a Wednesday, installed them that evening, and then took my bike out Thursday for about 25 miles, writing my review on Friday. In the short time I've had them so far, I like them and they're working well for me. I'm looking forward to some nice comfortable long rides in my future. Pros: They are super-light weight, I was surprised. Precision manufactured. Comfortable. Cons: Foam grip installation was not intuitive. The metal flexes, ever-so-slightly. Time will tell if this becomes a problem. I've seen these kinds of bars for about the $20 price point a few years ago when I first looked, and I paid about $31 for them. Not sure if price of aluminum went up or what. Still a pretty good value. Bottom Line: I like them!

These butterfly bars are "bang for buck". They are aluminum (6061), which is somewhat lightweight (well, more light than steel), and the same material most entry and mid level bikes are made of. These bars worked exactly as expected; I can now can ride somewhat upright and comfortable, and when I need to be a bit more "arrow", or have more weight on the front part of the bike, I can lean forward onto the front bars. If you are looking for a light handlebar with multiple positions, this bar is for you.

This work out great for my setup. I mounted it upside down so I can use side bars for my hands and the top bar for my accessories. HINT: TO GET THE SPONGE COVER ON THE EASY, USE AN AIR COMPRESSURE ON BOTH ENDS YOUR PUSHING AND PULLING. Make sure you plug both ends of the bar so you don't lose any air.

I wasn't very sure about these, so when I bought them I also bought a pair of individual drops for my original handlebars. It's tough to find good handlebars for a gravel bike conversion. These make that conversion. They're big and give you wide drops (but don't increase your reach). They aren't perfect, certainly; the drops are a little too far apart for comfortable graveling. They give you lots of grip options, though, and let you drop into a deep tuck for high power when you want it. I'm setting up the indie drops on another of my bikes, inboard of my shifters and brakes. With luck the original mountain handlebars will be long enough... UPDATE: I removed these from my bike. I wanted very much to like them, but I could never find quite the right grip so they were always a little less than comfortable. I went back to a conventional, but very long, bar.

I bought the 31.8mm butterfly handlebar, it came with foam tubes and a couple of plastic plugs. The handlebar itself is sturdy to be aluminium, has a nice smooth finish and it fit perfectly. The foam tubes are good length. I replaced the plugs with some metal ones and taped the foam. I could'nt be happier with the result

So I'm a bigger guy, at 240 lbs, and these do not flex as I'm riding, even over bumps. They are also very comfortable, I no longer deal with numb hands on long rides. The sponge grips absorb vibrations pretty well, and the multiple hand positions help a lot. There's also a lot of space for accessories. The installation went as expected. The bars were easy to install, the grips.. not as easy, but that was to be expected, as they are slip on grips. Overall these bars have nice quality, and are very comfortable. Edit: not even a full week after I got this, I had a small crash at less than 5 miles per hour, and it broke. I've never had handlebars break on me, especially that easily. So these are not nearly as sturdy as I thought they were.
