"The Feldspar Carbon review bars are 46cm wide. Features include unidirectional carbon fiber construction, a flattened top section for comfortable grip and compliance on rough roads, multi-stage flare with 12 degrees at the hoods for comfort and 20 degrees at the drops for maximum control, reinforced clamping zones for compatibility with drop bar controls, 68mm reach, 100mm drop, and testing to rigorous MTN Drop Bar standards suitable for singletrack detours."
"I've grown to love about 5 degrees of back sweep on my drop bars. This amount of backsweep is really comfortable for me, especially on longer rides. When the terrain gets tough, like it can on a gravel bike, the 5 or so degrees of back sweep make my hands feel like they are in a more natural position."
A cyclist previously skeptical of carbon fiber components became convinced of their benefits after using carbon mountain bike bars and wheelsets. Teravail, a trusted tire brand, expanded into cockpit parts. The reviewer tested three new Teravail components on a Wilde Rambler SL: the Feldspar Carbon Drop Bar ($280), Stratum Carbon Seatpost, and Radia Bar Tape. After 200 miles, the drop bar and seatpost performed well, though the tape was less impressive. The Feldspar features unidirectional carbon construction, a flattened top section for comfort, multi-stage flare (12 degrees at hoods, 20 degrees at drops), and reinforced clamping zones. However, the bar lacks back sweep, which the reviewer typically prefers for longer rides and rough terrain.
