Title: Flared aluminum bar from Ali
Post by: panel on May 17, 2025, 06:19:15 PM
Anyone have a good flared aluminum bar they've purchased from Ali ? I was thinking these but someone's review said it wasn't really flared. Looking for a 31.8 x 400mm

I have one of those and it definitely is flared. However, it's pretty heavy and thin on the tops - good for testing whether I liked the flare or not, but nowhere near as nice as something like the Zipp XPLR bars.

I'm really happy with zniino bars , I have both the 130mm and 102mm drop but the second one is definitely the good one, 228 grams , 440 width and internal cabling guides

That means the item is blocked for your country (for whatever reason). Open another browser/incognito and change country to something else (I'm in Germany and can open the link), then paste the link into that window and it should display correctly.

Don't be sorry.  Carbon is the best way to go.  I started using Chinese carbon bars on all of my bikes over 10 years ago.

Fully agree, no reasons to go with alu nowadays, the poster asked for alu though   :-\

Te-he-he.  I know, perhaps we can influence the OP to migrate to the dark side of the carbon.  Lighter weight, better vibration adsorption, look better...

Check for more, the same handlebar is sold by many sellers . Can’t say which country you are from but give it a try with another seller
