WREN Perseverance Adventure Dropbar

THE CONCEPT

Your cockpit serves as your sanctuary during extensive rides. Our cockpit is crafted to become your reliable companion, day in and day out. While various handlebars exist, we've discovered that many lack in crucial aspects: excessive backsweep with undersized loops and limited functionality.

LOOK AT THOSE CURVES

Manufacturing bars with such intricate bends and angles demands effort, but the result is truly rewarding. Our Perseverance Dropbars amalgamate the finest qualities of the bars we cherish:

• Wide at the hoods to instill confidence in challenging terrain and accommodate bikepacking gear comfortably. (Wider than the vast majority of dropbars available, yet not as extreme as the few 600mm wide dropbars in circulation.)
• A shallow drop with just the right amount of flair, evoking the essence of grassroots off-road gravel bars rather than merely a slight modification of a race-centric road bar labeled as gravel.

Introducing a practical aero loop, ergonomically designed with ample space for accessories, elevating your hands above mounted bar bags to prevent finger jamming. The wide loop offers enhanced control and leverage on rough terrain even from the tucked position.

From your initial ride on Perseverance, you'll immediately discern why these bars excel beyond comparison.

I DON'T RACE. DO I NEED A HANDLEBAR LIKE THIS? 

There's a misconception that aero and time trial handlebar extensions are exclusive to racers or those pursuing fastest known times.

This notion is unfounded.

Here's why cockpit extensions are invaluable for anyone, regardless of skill level, embarking on #bikepacking adventures:

1) Reduce back fatigue: Aero bars enable riders to alleviate back strain on gentler terrain, redistributing weight from the spine to the glutes and quads.

2) Alleviate wrist, elbow, and shoulder fatigue: Multiple positions alleviate pressure points during extended rides.

3) Enhance bar bag stability: Prevent floppy, bouncy handlebar bags and bolster handling with additional support.

4) Expand accessory mounting options: Crucial for positioning a bike light above handlebar bags and in front of the bike.

Our Perseverance #Adventure Handlebar seamlessly integrates the finest attributes of traditional aero bar add-ons, delivering a compact and robust solution tailored for exploration.
