GEMINI Pröpus XC stem handlebar unit UD carbon matt | 740mm
Ultra-light stem-handlebar unit made in Spain
The designers of GEMINI have always been surrounded by bicycles from an early age and now apply their acquired knowledge of the production of composite materials, which results from years of experience in the design of motorcycles, bicycles and components, to a high degree of perfection.
The result is a stem-handlebar unit in unibody design that cannot be compared with any conventional handlebar. The ultra-light PROEPUS was specially designed for cross-country riders who value low weight, the best possible climbing properties, high stiffness values and maximum integration and control on technical descents.
During development, every area of the handlebars was examined and optimized at the highest level. Compared to conventional stem/handlebar combos, it was possible to achieve greater damping of vertical shocks and vibrations, which leads to less arm and hand fatigue and enables higher speeds on descents.
On the other hand, the unibody design generates a high level of horizontal rigidity, which makes the steering much more direct and responsive.
The PROEPUS consists of the best carbon fiber currently available on the market - Mitsubishi MR70. Specially designed for the most demanding customers in the aerospace industry, it is the key to greater comfort and safety. Countless tests in the laboratory and in the field confirm the perfect symbiosis of design and material, which offers optimal conditions for racing.
