Cyrano R1 Chameleon: Cyrano is fiÕzi:kÕs latest range of cockpit components, comprising handlebars, stems & seatposts. Handlebars are highly-stressed, safety-critical parts, making strength & fatigue resistance of paramount importance. Low weight is of course also a priority.
Cyrano handlebars are available in three models, according to material specification, & in three shapes to fit different rider physiques, as described by fiÕz:kÕs Spine Concept system. Each shape is carefully designed to give easy transitions between different riding positions Ð tops, hoods & drops. The range of nine fiÕzi:k Cyrano handlebars models are each available in a choice of four widths, to ensure a perfect fit.
The Cyrano R1 is the medium specification, made from High-Modulus carbon fiber. HM carbon bars can be made just as strong as HMUD carbon bars, but, requiring more material, carries a minor weight penalty over the range-topping Cyrano 00 model. The result is exceptionally strong, & very light. The Cyrano R1 Chameleon maintains a long reach (85mm) but bring the drops (135m) up to accommodate still mobile, but slightly less flexible, riders. The shape sits between the squarer Snake bars & the compact Bull bars.
They are available in four sizes, with the 420mm width weighing just 203g.
