FSA Energy Handlebar

The 'Super Compact' designation refers to the bar's shallow drop and short reach. This design is intended to make the drops more accessible and comfortable, allowing you to stay in a lower position for longer periods without excessive strain.

A 36cm width is quite narrow and is typically chosen by riders seeking an aerodynamic advantage or those with smaller shoulder widths. If you prefer a wider, more stable stance, you may want to consider a wider option, but this size is excellent for precise, twitchy handling.

Yes, the handlebar features an ergonomic flattened section on the tops that includes a generous central bulge. This provides a stable, flat surface area specifically designed to accommodate accessory mounts like bike computers or lights.

The 7050 aluminum is chosen for its high strength-to-weight ratio, which results in a stiff, responsive handlebar. While it provides excellent power transfer for sprinting and climbing, it will feel more rigid than a carbon fiber bar, which naturally dampens more road vibration.
