The One Ultra Handlebars

[magnus]

Hi,

Does anyone have any experience with something like "The One Ultra" handlebars?

It´s definitely not cheap as an AliExpress option but the design is interesting to me at least. I´d personally much prefer having a spacer or two less on the headset and since this one has a claimed 1.3cm rise towards the ends combined with a pretty low -7 degree stem angle it seems like it could work out pretty well and look pretty good doing it in my opinion.

So the question is: Am I completely nuts and this is pure garbage and if so why?

Best regards,
Magnus

interesting find.  During 11/11 I tried to order a pair of the ONE Pro bars.  Seller was out of stock and refunded me 2 weeks later.  Ended up purchasing a set of Lexon Veros for far less.  So far, I’m happy.

So far I had two sets of ONE Pro handlebars (older and newer version). In regards of shape they are pretty much the same, this one seems to be different (super short reach, higher stem angle and bigger flare). Flawless in regards of build quality and stiffness/comfort ratio. I did not like the clamping system on the newer bar as it provides smaller clamping area, but it works. I would recommend to replace the clamping bolts to steel ones ASAP as they are tine and very prone to rounding.

Yeah, the previous One Pro bars (which I´ve seen hace been pretty well received) are more traditional while this one seems like a very different beast. I understand it doesn´t appeal to people wanting a -17 degree stem angle and get as low as possible but could possibly be helpful for those of us using a few extra spacers on the headtube.

Compared to say a -10 degree stem at 90mm stem length the angle alone raises your hood position about 5mm. Combined with the 13mm rise of the hoods on these bars you can essentially eliminate 18mm of spacers, no? Alternatively you could simply opt to keep the spacers and perhaps get a more comfortable position 18mm higher.

Regarding the Reach, they say 73 and The ones I´ve use previously have been about 78-80 so would it be reasonably to use a slightly longer stem if one goes for these? Like if you´re used to 95mm stem the closest equivalent here would be 100 or am I off here?

Right, it just depends whether it fits your own preferences and bike aesthetics. IMO you definitely need quite significant frame sloping to make at appealing to one's eye.

Considering the same hood position, you are correct. To preserve the same (biomechanical) reach with higher hood position and shorter handlebar reach you need even longer stem.

These look a lot like the bars that came on my Onirii One frameset. But that was the previous version that didn't have the bolts on the back of the stem like that. I noticed a few brands seem to sell similar looking bars. Airwolf sells them without any branding for around 90 USD. And KOCEVLO has them for 70 USD with their logo on them.

Each to his own of course, but it´s good that there different options available for different tastes.

Hmm... Do you have links to any of those? I haven´t found anything similar to these but I might just be terrible at searching...

I like this design. I like this design a whole lot. I really, REALLY like this design. Unfortunately, I am one of those who needs aggressive fitting parts. A cm or two extra reach, a size or two narrower, no rise and we'd be cooking
