Rapide Handlebar
Leveraging extensive hours of WinTunnel testing, the newly designed Roval Rapide bar cuts through the wind while providing the utmost comfort. We harnessed real-world feedback from our sponsored pro tour riders to design the airfoil so it provides greater wrist, forearm, and knee clearance. The bar also features a textured top surface to ensure a secure and comfortable grip even when wet, including a recessed step that sets the bar wrap flush with the tops.
