These low-slung bars work great in both a traditional and reverse setup. Mount them handles up for increased comfort. Mount them handles down for a slightly forward and tucked position which generally results in increased speed. The handlebar features a 1-inch clamp area (and amazingly measures 25.4 mm in Europe!), a 2-inch rise, and measures 20.25 inches across. In fact, this bar comes pretty darn close to a near perfect bike polo bar out of the box.
