Soma Fabrications Clarence Bar
Best ergonomic upgrade for riders seeking improved wrist comfort and control.
This bar transforms twitchy city bikes into stable, upright commuters, prioritizing visibility and comfort over aggressive speed. It’s built to handle the daily grind of potholes and traffic, though the relaxed geometry means you’ll sacrifice an aerodynamic tuck for a much more confident, heads-up view of the road.
