Soma Handlebar Odin

The backsweep is designed to place your wrists in a more natural, neutral position compared to a traditional flat bar. This reduces strain during longer rides while still maintaining the leverage needed for technical climbing and steering.

Yes. While the Odin was designed to help riders on 29ers manage a naturally high front end, its geometry works well on any mountain or commuter bike where you want a wider, more comfortable hand position and a stiff, responsive feel.

You should choose the diameter that matches your current stem. The 25.4mm option is typically found on older or more classic mountain bike setups, while the 31.8mm standard is the modern industry norm for most contemporary stems.

Because the Odin is crafted from 6061 T6 aluminum, it offers a high level of rigidity. This stiffness ensures that when you pull up on the bars during a steep climb, your energy is transferred directly into the bike rather than being lost to bar flex.

While specifications can vary slightly, the bar measures approximately 720mm wide. This width provides significant leverage, which helps with stability on technical terrain and allows for a more open chest position to aid breathing during intense efforts.
