Soma Fabrications Clarence Bar

The forward-bend design allows you to fine-tune your reach and hand position without needing to swap out your stem. By rotating the bar or its extensions, you can customize the cockpit fit to better suit your riding style or comfort preferences.

Yes, the Clarence Bar is designed with a 22.2mm grip diameter, making it fully compatible with standard mountain bike grips and brake levers. It also fits standard 31.8mm stems.

The aggressive 34-degree backsweep places your wrists in a more natural, neutral position compared to flat bars. This significantly reduces strain on your hands, wrists, and neck, which is particularly beneficial for long-distance touring or extended commutes.

While the bar is excellent for touring and commuting, its extra-wide 670mm design and stiff 6061-T6 aluminum construction provide the stability and responsive steering feedback needed for light off-road terrain. However, it is optimized for comfort and ergonomics rather than aggressive trail riding.

The bar can be flipped over to create a moustache-style setup. This gives you an alternative hand position and a different aesthetic, further increasing the versatility of the component.
