Integrated handlebars compliant with new UCI specifications

[qwertyas]

Hello everybody

As you know, starting with 2026, UCI has new requirements regarding handlebars.


Here's the link of the official UCI press-release
https://www.uci.org/pressrelease/uci-statement-on-its-recent-decisions-regarding-changes-to-equipment/39bHGV3T3d3sNHKNe2Rvbx

Amateurs and non-UCI races are not going to be affected.
But for those of us needing to change our integrated handlebars: did you spot some new designs of handlebars that are compliant with these regulations, at sellers on AliExpress?
Can you share some links?
I need to make changes to two bikes...

UCI are going to go back on this for sure. This will affect SOOOOOOOOOOO many of the smaller riders and women. I would not worry about this at all.

Any 38cm (C-C) or wider bars should be fine. It's only going to be a matter of placing the hoods not too much inwards.

Fuck UCI they have no jurisdiction here

In a new press release, UCI made a step back ....
The text is somehow ambiguous (not that the diagram above was very clear), but what's new:
- 28 cm between hoods (as opposed to 32cm )
- max 65mm flare (not clear if per each side or in total)
-  remains unclear if 40cm is to be measured in the drops or on the top.

As expected.
1. Make stupid rules because you have never ridden a bike.
2. Get pushback from all directions.
3. Roll back the rule.
4. Go back to 1.
