Light carbon HBR17 integrated bars
« on: September 11, 2025, 10:55:07 AM »
Wondering if anyone has a set of these yet?
If so what do you think? Are they reasonably stiff, well finished?

Any opinions welcome.
Thanks

Hi,

I placed an order today. I’ll update you once it arrives.
I’m really curious to see how it is, the product seems legit, and I’m eager to find out how it will perform on my gravel bike.

Yes I got them, Tantan sent the wrong handlebars so I replaced with HBR17.

I have 100x360 with adapter for SL8. Finish is definitely better than the Rapide clone although there were some sharp edges where the hoses exit by the shifters (inside edge, scraping on the hoses), but I got it sanded. Also gave feedback to Wendy @ LC about it. Top cap sits better than on the clone. To me they feel nice and stiff, but I'm also a quite small and light guy (62kg) so I'm generally not worried. Besides being available in narrow size they have a compact geometry for reach and drops that suit me and I generally like the shape and curves of the bars.

Bars only weighed like 310g, with top cap, spacers, computer mount and everything it was about 350g. Came delivered very well packaged. Handlebars wrapped in a nice foam tube and box filled with more foam.

Computer mount has an unusual 3-bolt attachment so I don't think there are really any options to have it replaced with something else unless you get it designed and printed yourself. I had issues with front brake vibrations and my Garmin unit on the Rapide clone bars, where it would warn for an incident after using front brake while stopping the bike. I got it sorted with installing 3mm soft foam that I put between the mount and the Garmin adapter (just squeeeeezed with the screws). I did the same from start with these bars and the computer mount, so I have no idea if these would have the same issue without the foam.

Don't have that much to compare with, before the SL8 clone I had a repaired frame from 2013 or so, with round alu bars. But I like this one, to me it feels good and it looks good.

Pictures from when I had just installed them on the bike.

Excellent, thank you for your thoughts.

The 8mm of rise is of key interest as I have a used frame where the steerer was cut a touch too low by the previous owner.

This could be a great way out of having to source a fork of the same model size and colour, which has proven to be hugely difficult/ expensive.

Thanks again

How much did you guys pay? Looks quite good if it's not too expensive. I like the upsweep from a pure aesthetical standpoint.

Price is $128. Ornan’s handlebar has also the same design which is * 2 of the price of LC’s HBR17

Its Chinese National Holidays from October 1st - 8th, so I imagine things are going to be quiet from LC for a few days.

Hi,

how are you guys finding the quality of the HBR17 handlebar compared to other manufacturers ? I'm quite keen on the design and am tempted to get one, but it's low price compared to the competition makes me wonder what to expect quality-wise....

Dang...

First time seeing these handlebars. I wish I had seen this post before ordering an alternative for my next bike build. Having a 36/130 option is exactly what I need. And FSA compatible. Also I can attest LC/Yishun being really good. Currently running a set of Yishun separate handlebars on another bike.

Confirming the price was around $128 before I'm assuming before shipping?

Very interested in these. Nice looking bar and the rise would come in useful to lose a spacer.

Any more feedback on them from anyone who has taken a punt?

Has anyone been given a price for the ti out front mount they do?

Anyone seen 3rd party mounts with this kind of mounting design?
