Hi! Could anybody recommend carbon integrated (stem and handlebar in one piece) gravel handlebar that have some flex on the hoods and drops? It must have integrated cable routing also. I have a suspension stem (Safort from AliExpress) but it is rather heavy. Just wondering if there could be a carbon handlebar on AliExpress that have some flex on the sides that can be an alternative for suspension stem.🤔

The Avian Canary https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005005902791911.html (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c4qbkIWX) (or Avian Canary II https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005009584339784.html (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3VwefQj)) is technically a road handlebar, but many people use it for fast gravel builds because it's so light.
Its slim profile provides a natural compliance that helps dampening road chatter much better than a heavy suspension stem. It doesn't have a gravel flare, but if you are looking to save a massive amount of weight while gaining some vertical flex on the hoods, it's probably your best option
Thank you very much!

This handlebar is cool, but I wonder if there could be a cheaper option on AliExpress🤔

I totally get it. If you want a gravel-specific option without breaking the bank, check out the Kocevlo K05 https://it.aliexpress.com/item/1005011577779436.html (https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_c3RXGDwT).
It’s around €80-90, has a nice flare for gravel use, and the profile is designed to be a bit more compliant than their standard road bars. It's probably the best middle ground between price and performance if the Avian is too expensive for your build.
Are you a bot?

Thank you! It is interesting if it has some flex on the hoods and drops🤔

CRW HB01 is flexy and has 4 cm total flare. Should be good for gravel
