The ENVE G Series Gravel handlebar was one of the first gravel specific bars on the market, unless you count John Stamstad’s bar off of his old Bridgestone from back in the day. A purpose built carbon drop bar specifically designed to improve the off-road drop bar ride experience.
The new handlebar is part of the U.S. company’s increased push into this market, along with its recent G Series wheels and extensive sponsorship of numerous gravel events.
Costing roughly the price of my first car at $350, the new ENVE G Series Gravel handlebar is a serious investment, but it’s super light and designed to offer more compliance than most other carbon handlebars. Its flared shape offers increased handling in rough terrain. It takes some getting use to, but my guess is, you’ll begin to love the shape of this bar, it’s certainly well-suited to the new generation of gravel and adventure bikes.
