Thomson Carbon Cross Drop Bar 31.8 x 42cm

For Cyclocross, presenting the carbon CX bar. Its the natural transition from your Thomson road bar for the cross season. Twin flats on the bottom of the bar allow taping your housing to create a round bar when wrapped. The top profile is round and as wide as possible. This is the carbon fibre cyclocross handlebar built to take all the season can dish out. This allows auxiliary brake levers to be safely used and still leaves lots of room for your hands. Certified to EN, tested to DIN+.

The layup uses 3 different fibre types with different tensile strengths and tensile modulus, including High Strength carbon fibre. This helps allocate stiffness and flex where needed.

All carbon fibre is produced by Toray and uses tailor-made Nano Epoxy Resin for very high impact resistance. Toray is the main supplier of carbon fibre for Boeing and Airbus.

The Cross bars are made in one piece, not three pieces co-moulded and glued together. The bars are moulded over an EPS mandrel to avoid wrinkles inside the layup during moulding. Most other bars are moulded over inflatable nylon bladders.

Reach for the Cross bars is 78.5mm. Drop is proportional.
The cross drops are:
42cm - 133mm.

1.5K woven impact ends help prevent damage to unidirectional fibres from impact.
