GEMINI Stem/Handlebar Unit Alhena Lightweight ICR 1 1/4" glossy | 65 mm Reach
Ultralight stem/handlebar unit made in Barcelona, Spain.
The developers at GEMINI have always been surrounded by bicycles since they were very young, and now they apply the knowledge they have acquired in the manufacture of composite materials, resulting from years of experience in the design of motorcycles, bicycles and components, to perfection. As with the other stem/handlebar units, Gemini has rethought the geometry with the ALHENA, an ultra-light handlebar designed specifically for gravel riders who are looking for low weight and the best possible climbing characteristics with the best possible comfort. During development, every area of the handlebars was examined and optimized to the highest level. This made it possible to save a lot of weight compared to conventional handlebars.
The ALHENA is made of the best carbon fiber currently available on the market: Mitsubishi MR70, which was specially developed for the most demanding customers in the aerospace industry and 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 optimum conditions for cycling.
Made in one piece
The Alhena is manufactured in a unibody construction to eliminate stresses on individual parts and increase resistance. This improves the stiffness-to-weight ratio and creates an extremely lightweight structure.
ultralight
In the light version, the handlebar-stem unit weighs just 220g (max. 90kg rider + bike). Ideal if you want to build a weight-saving bike. If you attach more importance to stiffness, there is also the Performance version from 310g (max. 130kg rider + bike).
Maximum comfort
The handlebars are ergonomically shaped. A larger support surface prevents your carpal tunnel nerve from being pinched. The Alhena offers you maximum freedom of movement so that your forearms do not hit the handlebars.
aerodynamic shape
GEMINI has spent a lot of time performing CFD calculations and optimizing the aerodynamics to reduce drag. The unique shapes of the Alhena have been designed to give you a more aerodynamic position on the bike and make you even faster.
Different versions
You can customize the handlebar-stem unit to suit you perfectly, as GEMINI offers the Alhena in different versions. It is available in several widths and stem lengths.
Internal cable routing
So that your bike looks even cleaner and you can also benefit from the aerodynamic advantages, the Alhena is available with internal cable routing. All brake and gear cables are routed through the steering between the bearing and fork tube.
Note: The stem/handlebar unit is compatible with the Vostok adapter for Garmin, Wahoo, Polar, Twonav and Bryton.
