SCHMOLKE handlebars Carbon Road Evo TLO Black Edition UD-Finish
The German luxury forge Schmolke stands for its feather-light products that are fully suitable for riding and use despite excessive lightweight construction. TLO does not stand for The lightest One for nothing. In this series, only the best carbon prepregs available on the market are used and the handlebars are specially adapted to the rider's weight. This means that the carbon mat layout can be adjusted and the weight further reduced without compromising on stiffness or durability.
With the very short reach of just 78 millimetres, the brake levers of the Evo TLO are closer to the rider. This favors a more upright riding position. This characteristic is also supported by the low upper bar bend, making the handlebars an ideal companion on long distances and marathon races. If you want to go a little faster, the slowly tapering curve in the lower handlebar position offers a comfortable and aerodynamic riding position. Thanks to the short drop of just 126 millimetres, the riding position is not too extreme even in the lower link.
The Evo TLO also offers a comfortable grip position in the upper link thanks to its large oversized area. Furthermore, the large cross-section ensures noticeably greater stiffness. Cable channels integrated into the underside of the handlebars create a tidy look on the bike. For use in triathlons or time trials, the Evo TLO is optionally available with a reinforcement for mounting time trial attachments (clip-ons).
NOTE: Contrary to the illustration, the handlebars are supplied with a UD finish.
