Specialized Hover Flare Road Handlebar

The 15mm rise effectively raises your cockpit height without requiring additional headset spacers or a different stem angle. It is particularly useful for riders looking to achieve a more upright, comfortable position for long-distance riding or those who struggle to get their bars high enough on modern race frames.

The 12-degree flare widens your stance when you are in the drops, which provides significantly more leverage and stability during technical descents or sprinting. While the hoods remain at a standard width for aerodynamics, the drops offer a wider, more confident platform for handling.

Yes. While it is designed as a road handlebar, the 12-degree flare and the comfortable shallow drop make it a great choice for light gravel or all-road riding where extra control is needed on loose surfaces.

This bar measures 38cm center-to-center at the hoods, which is where you will spend most of your time. However, due to the 12-degree flare, the width at the drops is 43cm, giving you a wider, more stable base when you move your hands down.

The 103mm drop is relatively shallow, meaning you don't have to reach as far down to get into an aerodynamic position. This makes the drops more accessible and comfortable for riders who don't want an overly aggressive, deep-bend racing posture.
