Looking to upgrade one of my older road bikes with a integrated handlebar, mostly for the looks and feel. Bike is only used for light training on flats and indoors traning in the winter. Wanted spec: 380 wide, 90 stem and "modern/compact" with short reach to bends.
Been looking at below items - any recommendations/warnings on theese or others?

I think the Kocevlo and the last one are the same.
It is also the handlebar I am expecting to be included with my Hygge Model S frame that I hope to receive next week... So hopefully the quality will be OK :)

I had a second look and I agree, the handlebars and accessories look identical. However the Kocevlo one does not specify if T1000 as Ullicyc.
Are they a good option? Reviews seem fine.
-
Would not surprise me if they just use the word T1000 to get more sales...
I have no experience yet with it, so I can't comment. But if the reviews are good (you have to specifically search for bad ones to see if there could be a problem with it) you could take the leap. Maybe search for some youtube reviews to learn a little bit more...

I have that kocevelo bar/stem, in 380x80mm. Have about 500km on it so far on my velobuild 099. The inner steerer surface was painted and wouldn't fit on the velobuild steerer tube. So I had to dremel/sand down the inside a tiny bit so it would fit nicely. Not sure if they're all like that or it was just a bad combination of generous tolerances from vb and kocevelo. It came with a variety of plastic spacers and headset pieces. Was a little tricky for cable routing but every one of these combo bars is. Doesn't seem flexy but I'm not putting down insane watts and only weight 130lbs.
For 100$ I'm super happy with it. Here's a couple pictures:

The Kocevlo and Ullicyc are the same bar and they are both copies of The One Pro with a different clamp design, but the stem and bars are the same. I bought both The One Pro and Kocevlo bars and they are identical apart from the steerer clamp. The One Pro were about 25g lighter (370g vs 395g); whether that's the clamp design (likely) or a different carbon layup, I couldn't tell any difference between the two. In the end, I went with the Kocevlo due to being half the price. They've been on my bike since May (you can search my posts) and I've raced them a dozen times or so. I like them and would buy again. They're plenty stiff for me and I'm around 85kg and can put out 1600W peak in a sprint. No flex I can feel. Finish is on par for AliEx bars and I don't have any safety concerns even at my weight. I ran mech 1x and now Di2, no issues with cable routing apart from the usual annoyances of fully internal bars. Couldn't tell you if they could handle 2x mech but they look to have ample room albeit a little tight.

For my main road bike, I have the Black Inc. copies. I paid around $80 and honestly, these are my favorite bars ever. They weigh 335g for 120/40 so not the lightest by any means. But they are a great bar. They have a little groove on the underside so I don't route internally but the cables remain mostly hidden. They aren't as flat on the tops but have an oval shape which I find super comfy riding on the tops and I wrap all the way to the stem. Stiff enough for my tastes as well. My only complain is the weight as I was looking to save grams, but even at that weight I haven't found a replacement that's better so they've been on for close to 2 years now.

I'm looking for one as well, with a longer reach. 130mm stem length with 75mm bars is what I'm after.
Only one I found so far was this:

Did anyone tried those MCELO handlebars? I am looking for something with -17 degree stem to lower my stack on a Gravel bike. The seller told me that this one is -16. But you know don't know if can be trusted. On the auction of the mcelo frame on the bike pictures it does not look that steep but on drawings it says - 16. Funny that they don't inlcude those drawings with angle on handlebar auction.

I have the Ryet ones, both integrated with one being gravel the other road. Pretty good so far with no issues.

I have a set of the Ryet/Lexon bars and I'm very happy with them. They're stiffer and the finish on them is nicer than my yoeleo bars. Cable routing was fairly easy as well.

Which version of the Ryet bars are these? I have the og-evkin hb1300 in 38/100 and they feel super flexy, especially on the indoor trainer. Also I don't trust og-evkin really after hearing about their no warranty process. I really like the look of these ryet ones.

Would be cool if someone here used it and can tell something about them.
Using not quite accurate method of "hold a stem up to the screen", the top slope of the stem does seem to be close to a -17, but the 100mm bars pictures end up placed nearly identically to where they be FSA ACR -6 90mm stem would place them. The Kalloy Uno -7 100 actually seems lower and longer with this method than the MCELO bars.
MCELO aren't the only ones not being accurate with this though. Specialized with the SL7 stems are lower than you would think due to not accounting for a 7-8mm drop and their 31mm stack height. the -12 is is functionally equivalent to the classic designed -17 stem. Its slightly lower for the 110mm, 120mm, 130mm sizes inclusive of their adapter. I don't know about the 140mm, but i think the -17 would be slightly lower at that length.
-
What I am noticing is most of these bars have pretty severe stem angle. I wanted something in 6-8 degree range. These two Ryet bars do have that angle...considering them for an upcoming build involving Yoeleo R12.
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806021171332.html
and
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805978644534.html
The first one seems to have cable port similar to Velobuild's stem and is a stuff of nightmare. Leaning towards the second one for that reason which has wider cable opening. Also like the stubby GPS mount on it.
-
Can consider the acr 5d handlebars(vision metron 5d clones)

So the consensus seems to be, that the Kocevlo bars are the way to go. Would you rate the stiffness on the same level vs The One? The 25g weight difference would be totally worth it if the build quality is the same overall.
-
Hygge uses the Kocevlo bars on their Model S, So I have one. Routing the 4 cables for mechanical shifting is no problem (with the routing kit)

I have a set of Avian falcons, very much worth the price. Super light, quite stiff, available in your spec.

Also happy with the Kocevlo bar and the logo comes off nicely.
It's a little fiddly, but a Di2 junction box can be zip tied to the included computer mount for those not running fully internal cables.

Just arrived in the mail. I haven't ridden on it yet but looks nice, very stiff. Only complaint about it, is the top cap area, there's room for improvement on the fit of that. Got this for $120 USD.

I recently bought a roval sl8 handlebar copy on aliexpress. I get it for 100$ with all accessories included.
Quality is here, i just found the marks for hood position are not aligned but who really cares, screw for computer mount is to change if you want to have a good tightening without destroying it and interface between bar and mount is probably better made on the original too but it works.
About weight, it's light, mine is 325g for 400x100.
Rigidity is here on tops, i found hoods flex more than a alloy bar.
If you want to buy it, have in mind that exit hole is really small for 4 cables, i think like the original, it's made for electronic shifting.
Beware of the shape that is flat and wide on the top if you like this hand position.
I bought it on"hyyd sporting goods Store" which seems to have the lowest price with plenty of dimensions available.

I used a credit card in the forward gap between cap and stem to avoid keep the cap edge parallel to the stem edge.

So far so good. Had to use carbon paste on both sides of the spacer insert and torque it up to 7-8nm to stop it from moving. Might be an issue with my fork, I seem to always have this problem.
Rigid under high load so has an assured feel when putting down the watts. Looks great also. Top cap is unfortunate lol. I'm thinking about shaving down some material myself to make it sit better. The provided aluminum bike mount is great, really firm and has several optional attachments.
Would I recommend this? Yes and no, the only problem being the top cap, if you can overlook that, it's a solid handlebar.
-
Alright that photo of the gap was bothering me. I took a construction knife to the top cap area and cut/chiseled/scrapped off some material. Much better.

That looks like the wrong top cap frankly. They must have sent you the top cap of another handlebar. I lave a Lexon Vero here and although it created also issues (serious ones), the top cap is fine for it.

Ya I wish that were the case so I could go back to them but it matches their marketing material as well as product photos on their listing. 100% crappy forming on mold for this area.
Did a double take on the listing. If you zoom in, it's not great on their marketing as well... https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/Sa8d74c26ab6943a3af0cdc7d28a56e60Y.jpg_640x640Q90.jpg

:( sad thing. I chose the Vero for several reasons and at least the top cap has a good fit there.. the spacers which don't allow to be removed for fully integrated setup are also crappy.. I grinded them on my own to ensure that. I will definitely play around with the spacer height a bit.
-

You'd be attaching to the steerer section where your spacers will likely go, not the handlebar. Alternatively there are handlebar mounts for lights.

Never seen this. But I had the same issue. I bought a new light ;D.
What you could think about is a computer mount. There are adapter clamps for the mount (with a strong rubber band for the light), where you can attach any light to. I never used them, because I already had the new light. Meanwhile I shifted to a Cateye light that is also attached to the computer mount. Because the first rubber band type light was stolen from me ???..

Any decent options that would suit a 31.8mm / 1 1/4" steerer? Thinking about updating the bars on my Grail.
Did some searching, but all options coming up were the smaller diameter.
-
The Deda clones I've ordered must be specified / measured weirdly, as the two I got a year or two ago were both like 20mm longer than expected.
On the other hand, I bought a Lexon gravel bar and really like it, that one was spot on with its measurement.

The magic search term is "od2 integrated handlebar", this should provide quite a few options from Kocevlo, RXL SL, OG-Evkin and others in AliExpress.
I can not recommend any specifically since I am preferring separate stem and handlebar combos

Farsports has some good integrated handlebars. I have one as well. They have both for 1 1/8 and 1 1/4. I think it is the same handlebar, but you can get sleeve to fit 1 1/8. So originally is for 1 1/4. And they have lots of spacers matching for diferrent bikes.

I'm searching for a integrated gravel handlebar with flare for my Canyon Grizl with the wonderful 1 1/4 fork.....

Kocevlo. Budget friendly, but I'm honestly a bit sceptic been able to buy this one from Temu when I'm doing 50 km/t downhill on a bumpy gravel road :-\

Lightbicycle Grvlfest 20 - Insane expensive with shipping. Can't see that it is worth the price.

Have I missed any other options out there? Very frusterating with the limited options for the 1 1/4 fork.

Could anyone find a solution for kovelco headset rings? The provided kit just doesn't work for me

I'm searching for a integrated gravel handlebar with flare for my Canyon Grizl with the wonderful 1 1/4 fork.....
Look into Yoeleo. Excellent quality just not on AE.

Thoughts on this? I am looking for a short reach and low drop bar at the moment.

This just came in and will go on my BMC Roadmachine. I was looking for short reach and drop. From the box / bag this looks like great quality bar. Very good finish, no flex and no rough finishes. I will post back once I get it installed and do few rides. The hood grips have that textures finish which along with carbon paste will hold the hoods nicely.

Hey guys, does anyone of you know what the metal shims are for? they came with my lexon integrated bars
(https://i.ibb.co/0js5pkkB/PXL-20250526-125627334.jpg) (https://ibb.co/0js5pkkB)

These are shims to raise the bearing cap to prevent it from rubbing the frame.

ah i see. thank you!
-
ah i see. thank you!
But as the cap is made from plastic you can also grind it a bit down if you face the need of those shims. In an integrated build I don't like the idea of thin metal shims, which could create damage on my break hose. Usually they should be clamped and not be free to move, but Murphys law....
-
ah i see. thank you!
Those Shims are bad news on internally routed frames. They can easily cut into the brake lines over time and also with the lexon handlebars, the shim blocks the little notch in the headset cover from seating in the compression ring
-
But you can cut the shims easily into the needed form.

See my issues here and therefore I do not recommend this IF you have same bike as me. The bar itself on the other hand well made, no rough finishes, no flexing etc.
https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,6034.0.html
-

Yes you can do that. If there are notches in the top cap which will 100% prevent the shims from any rotation even in case the compression gets lost (unintended)over time.
However.. I feel better not to have them installed. That's to me "better safe than sorry"
-
But you can cut the shims easily into the needed form.
You can cut the spacer so it looks like a C but you can't cutout the notch for the topcap to tab into - there will be no material left if you do. Kocevlo sell a spacer on AliExpress which have notches cut out all along the spacer which might work for some.
-
Sure the best method would be to glue them on to the c ring to prevent them from rotating.

Hi.
Someone tried balugoe handlebar or bars?
Thank you
I have their carbon Aero bars on my wifes and my road bike. They routed mechanical cables moderately well. They are fairly stiff and I love the flair of the drops. Short reach, short drop and good ergonomics. I have the 36cm ones. I'm 188cm tall with a 40cm wide shoulder.

I just installed this on my Colnago. Excellent. VERY stiff and all dimesions are accurate. They measure center of headset to center of the bar.
One thing to note the tops are WIDE (3-4cm). Good for me for climbing but those with small hands might not like this. I posted about this before. Very good fit and finish. Stupid easy to route the cable too.

Will a Garmin 1050 or similar new computer fit on their mount? Any photos of a computer on their mount? Does it sit flush with the top of the bars or does it sit above? I'm curious about the frontal area.
-
Many have asked about the measurements, fit etc. I will post some pics later on today after work.
Regarding the computer, the mount is proprietary, which is kind of shitty but it is what it is. With my Karoo 2, it sits nice and level with the top of the bar. Again I will post pics of it later on.

I saw in one AliX post that the mount also works for Farsports F1x bars. I've reached out to Farsports and they sell their mount for $30 and its 20-30g according to the person I was chatting with. They both have the 'three' attachment points. I have not asked them about the T4 bar.

It feels real good to me. It feels better than the Alanera bar this replaced in that you have more surface area.
380 x 110mm is the size.

Its aluminum and very sturdy. I had few composite mounts snap and from then I stay away from trying to save weight where it really does not matter.

Can you tell your bar size and your measurements of the total cockpit reach (mid steerer tube to mid of bar drops) . Wanted to buy this in 360x100. Acc. to their drawing this should be 180mm total reach, but now I have doubts if I should get the 90mm version.

I looked at a couple of the variations on the "ultra" bars. They say another adapter is required for SL7, but none of the sellers replied with any information on which adapter to order.
Any suggestions on the best item to order? I think I'm going to give one a try.
Edit: This appears to be the correct adapter/spacer. Absurdly overpriced IMO but the only one I can find. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808438104817.html

Feel progressively annoyed with my The One 2nd gen handlebars and its clamping system, have to tighten the headset every 2-3 days... So I am in search of alternative integrated handlebars. Does anyone knows and tried bars that are:
- sub 350 grams (bare bars)
- available in 38 cm width and total reach (stem+handlebar reach) of 195-200 mm
- have traditional clamping design
- sub 200 EUR
- relatively stiff (no flex at around 1200W)?

I have the 38/80 at home and it is around 350gr. It will be the cheapest option for you.
The description says total weight with spacers is whopping 520 gr. Is it true? Mine was approximately 350 gr bars and 100 gr accesories

There are 2 versions of the spacers. Plastic and metal. The metal ones are heavier. You can buy the spacers separate though.

For the moment I am considering the Avian Canary myself. 260USD incl. tax free shipping on Ali. Might be worth it. Saves 100gr

Feel progressively annoyed with my The One 2nd gen handlebars and its clamping system, have to tighten the headset every 2-3 days... So I am in search of alternative integrated handlebars. Does anyone knows and tried bars that are:
- sub 350 grams (bare bars)
- available in 38 cm width and total reach (stem+handlebar reach) of 195-200 mm
- have traditional clamping design
- sub 200 EUR
- relatively stiff (no flex at around 1200W)?
Lightcarbon hbr17?

I heard they are quite flexy. Farsports F1S/F1X is quite tempting option with neat design, although a bit over my tight budget.
Lightcarbon hbr17?
I don't like the rise but my main concern is I've had integrated handlebars from LC before and did not like them - very flexy and the shape is a bit strange.

There is also the CC.01 handlebar, but for some reason they don't sell it with a normal spacer set, so it's only for specific frames: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005010211062301.html
And I guess you won't like the clamping mechanism?

Yeah, under no circumstances I would recommend handlebars with shim-based clamping to anyone.

I have recently picked up a Giant and it uses the OD2 standard. Was wondering if there are current recommendations for OD2 that is stiff and relatively easy to route for internal brake hose (Di2 setup)?

Big Rock Handlebars is a quite good option, a bit on a pricey side but worth it IMO.

Hi guys, have a problem with selection of correct handlebar cockpit.
I have now Merida Reacto 2026 in XS, which is with stem 90mm length (MERIDA EXPERT SL 2P), and Merida Expert CW handlebar (78mm reach) and I think and from my bikefitting, I need 80mm stem with shorter reach on handlebar. I already read the whole internet and my selection of cockpits are:
1. rolling stones, raech 75mm, 80mm stem, and should be nice compatible with merida reacto https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006645688485.html?pdp_ext_f=%7B%22sku_id%22%3A%2212000037913790214%22%7D&sourceType=1&spm=a2g0o.wish-manage-home.0.0#nav-specification
2. the ONE ultra, 73mm reach, 80mm stem but 13mm lift the upper handle https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003968726979.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.69287TAO7TAOjk&algo_pvid=d8c9bc00-020c-4147-a374-01597c8bfab8&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%22155%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%2C%22fromPage%22%3A%22search%22%7D&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A%7Cx_object_id%3A1005003968726979%7C_p_origin_prod%3A
3. T4 ultra handlebar, reach 70mm, stem 80mm, again 13mm lift the upper handle https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005009212475134.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.main.1.7736hqN3hqN326&algo_pvid=2bf833e1-2a3e-4afb-be9d-5c62e7bc42e6&pdp_ext_f=%7B%22order%22%3A%2227%22%2C%22eval%22%3A%221%22%2C%22fromPage%22%3A%22search%22%7D&utparam-url=scene%3Asearch%7Cquery_from%3A%7Cx_object_id%3A1005009212475134%7C_p_origin_prod%3A
4. lightcarbon HBR17, reach 75mm, 80mm stem, https://www.lightcarbon.com/ultra-light-and-aero-carbon-road-integrated-handlebar_p257.html
My question is not about what should I buy, but I need to know one thing. I read on the most forums, that some of these cockpits are 1cm longer than described., that's why I had to remove Tavelo Rise from the selection (tavelo official partner answered, that 80mm is like 90mm).
So my question is, what is 80mm real stem length ? If you guys have some of these handlebars, could you please measure that and tell me ?
Thanks !

I know it’s not a handlebar on your list, but it’s the one I use, so I can share my experience. I have the Lexon Thin Line handlebar https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005010706794452.html (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c37cczhx), 380 × 100 mm, and the dimensions seem right to me. I’m attaching a photo.

The pitfall in practice:
When a manufacturer measures the geometry from the bottom, an aero stem specified as "100 mm" might actually be 110 mm long along the top edge. So, if you are switching from a standard stem (measured center-to-center) to an integrated aero cockpit, you should carefully check the manufacturer's geometry charts. Otherwise, you might end up stretched out 10 mm further on the bike than you originally intended. For instance, the specifications for the T4 Ultra handlebar and The One Ultra are indeed measured from the bottom. However, there are exceptions to this rule: my LightCarbon HBR17 measures exactly 100 mm from the top, which perfectly matches the manufacturer's specifications.

Look back few pages I posted about the T4 bar and shown the actual measurements. I still use the bar on my bike, but the up sweep is not for everyone.

I saw the lexon, very nice, but it has reach 80mm, and I am looking for something shorter (now I have 78mm and 90mm stem and it is long for me). So 80mm stem and <75mm reach is better for me

What does it mean, the up sweep is not for everyone ?
I am looking handlebar what is exactly 80mm from centre to centre. I saw your pictures, if you have 110mm stem length, it seems 110mm from centre to the centre, correct ?
Now, I have 90mm stem, and the whole measured stem from up to bottom is 150mm. According to your photos, you have 110mm, and from up to bottom you have 170mm, So from centre to approx centre is exact what I need ? Thanks for confirmation !
PS. I dont need stem which is the same length as my current stem , ofc, and I'm trying to measure it exactly as they say on the website.

It is very strange, that T4 or ONE ultra handlebars are longer (measured) from bottom. Because I saw their description and it seems that they are measuring from centre to centre. So i am a bit confusing. Dont want to spend money for cockpit, what is exactly as I have now. So that's why I'm asking around on the forums and finding out as much information as possible.

Not a big fan of my T4 Ultra, the clamping mechanism is too finicky. The tops being so wide isn't a major issue to me and I honestly quite like the upsweet. Not worth the annoying clamp, though. Was considering replacing it with the LightCarbon bar, but decided to go for the Bigrock instead for no real reason.

I think there might be a slight misunderstanding about what I meant!
To clarify: When I say it is "measured from the bottom," I mean that the manufacturer specifies the size (for example, 100 mm) based on the length of the bottom edge.
Because of the downward angle and the thick shape of these aero carbon stems, the top edge is physically longer than the bottom edge. Here is how it plays out in reality:
If the official spec (measured at the bottom) is 90 mm.
The measurement at the top edge will actually be around 95-100 mm.
This means if you order a "90 mm" T4 Ultra or The One Ultra, you are practically getting a 95-100 mm stem (if you measure it from the top, the way we are used to with standard stems).
That is exactly why the sizing is so confusing and why many people end up with a cockpit that stretches them out much further than expected!
To show you exactly what I mean, I am attaching two photos of a 90mm T4 Ultra here. As you can see in the pictures, the bottom measures around 90 mm, while the top is around 95–100 mm.

Sometimes even if the stem measures 1cm too long it might be the right size if the length is accounted in the reach. For example the Tavelo rise bar that is listed as 100mm stem and 75mm reach is actually 110mm stem and 65mm reach. The end result in length is exactly the same.
Some bars of course can be longer than stated. Always best to ask if someone has actually measured the bars and not just the stem.

You make a really interesting point with the Tavelo / Avro Rise example!
I was having a hard time imagining how a stated 75mm reach could physically become 65mm, but looking closely at their geometry chart, it actually makes perfect mathematical sense.
Here is what is happening:
The manufacturer measures horizontally: If you look at the Avro Rise sketch, their lines for "Length" (e.g., 100mm) and "Reach" (75mm) are perfectly horizontal (parallel to the ground).
This means the Total Horizontal Reach is 175mm.
You are measuring the physical carbon: Because the stem drops at a -10° angle, measuring along the top of the carbon stem gives you a physically longer measurement of about 110mm.
The Math: Since the total horizontal distance of the cockpit (175mm) doesn't change, shifting the imaginary center point further forward by using your 110mm stem measurement leaves exactly 65mm for the remaining handlebar reach (175 - 110 = 65).
So you are absolutely right, the end result in total length is exactly the same!
However, there is one more crucial variable: The stated reach of the bare carbon is only half the story anyway. At the end of the day, we can easily add or subtract 10–15mm of effective reach just by how high or low we position the shifter hoods on the drops.
Thanks again for pointing this out – it really shows why we can't blindly trust the spec sheets without understanding exactly how the brand measures!

My T4 Ultra that I order from Ullicyc came so fast. Only took a few days.
Opened everything up and saw this flake on the inside of the stem. Should I be worried about structural damage or is this normal from the manufacturing process? I’ve removed the flake.

How is it ?
I'm considering that Handlebar.

Nothing to worry about. My T4 also had some minor imperfections. Just make sure you files this down a bit so there are no sharp edges when you pull the hoses.

Just had a KOCEVLO X01 delivered, trying to tidy up my cockpit on an older 2019 Cube frame.
For the life of me I can't seem to get the headset tight enough to eliminate play, seemingly even if I use my old FSA spacers etc.
Can anyone recommend a steerer plug? I think my FSA one is too dated.
-
Finally figured it all out, had to make a 3D printed dust cover as I had 1.5mm exposed and also a new expanding plug.
Much cleaner, bit of fresh life into an "old" bike, I think i'll go with a KORE wheelset next as the Prime wheelset is heavier than the stock ALU wheelset it came with.
