BEAST COMPONENTS handlebar Gravel Bar IR carbon 31,8 mm | UD-finish | black
BEAST COMPONENTS was founded in 2016 by students at the lightweight construction department in Dresden. In view of their origins, it was important from the outset to incorporate the latest scientific methods and state-of-the-art technology into the development of their products. The close cooperation with the Institute for Lightweight Construction at the TU Dresden also helps them to achieve this.
BEAST COMPONENTS products are characterized by their combination of lightweight construction, stability and exceptional appearance. However, the company founders are also aware of their social responsibility. Instead of outsourcing production to Asia, all components are manufactured and tested in-house, handmade in Germany. Because the fiber structure of the components is not hidden behind a layer of paint, the high production quality and clean workmanship are obvious.
Specially designed to meet the needs of fast off-road use, the BEAST COMPONENTS Gravel Bar offers an extremely high level of comfort in all grip positions. The uniquely shaped corner areas of the top bar stand out. With their large contact surface, they are extremely comfortable in a relaxed, upright riding position and distribute the contact pressure evenly across the palm of the hand. This puts much less strain on the nerve tracts and significantly reduces the risk of hand pain and numb fingers. For descents and faster riding, the drops with a 24-degree flare provide a lot of control over the bike. The design of the handlebars was chosen so that they have damping properties to minimize upper body fatigue. Nevertheless, it has sufficient stiffness to provide direct feedback from the ground. Visually, the Gravel Bar impresses with its flawless carbon structure and the discreet black Beast logo.
The IR version is characterized by specially reinforced clamping areas. Stems as well as brake and shift fittings often cause unfavorable clamping forces, which can damage the carbon structure if tightened too tightly or twisted and, in the worst case, lead to handlebar breakage. BEAST COMPONENTS counteracts this problem in the particularly stressed areas with a special polyester prepreg fleece and a load-appropriate carbon layer structure. This protects the handlebars from deformation and indentations. Visually, the Gravel Bar 2.0 impresses with its flawless carbon structure and the discreet black Beast logo.
BEAST INTERFACE REINFORCEMENT
Individually interpreted tolerances of clamping areas and new clamping principles can lead to compatibility problems and cause lasting damage to carbon components. Thanks to Beast products with IR technology, you don't need to worry about this. All contact points on the handlebars are reinforced with an extremely break-resistant layer of high-tech thermoplastic fibers and can therefore withstand higher punctual loads. The protective layer also ensures significantly improved tolerance compensation for different diameters. This ensures that safety-relevant components are permanently and securely fixed, even under the toughest conditions. This creates more confidence in the material.
Due to their conviction in the high manufacturing quality of their products, BEAST COMPONENTS offers first-time owners a 5-year manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase after product registration as well as a lifetime crash replacement program (50% discount on the RRP).
