"I want to convert to drop bars, but I don't want to change the levers!" SURLY's handlebar, full of innovative ideas, makes that wish come true.
The "SURLY Corner Bar" allows you to achieve a drop-style riding position using your existing flat bar brakes and shifters.
It's truly a magical handlebar that significantly lowers the barrier to converting to drop bars.

Drop-style without changing brakes or shifters

Flat bar levers have a diameter of 22.2mm, while drop bar levers are 24mm—normally, they aren't compatible, meaning a simple handlebar swap isn't enough.
However, with the 【SURLY Corner Bar】, you can use your existing flat bar levers.

This makes drop bar conversions, which previously required replacing an entire component set, much more accessible.
*For some bike models, cable and hose replacement may be necessary.
Tough Chromoly Handlebars|Great for Forest Roads and Touring

Unlike road handlebars that prioritize lightweight and aerodynamics, the Corner Bar is made of custom-butted chromoly steel. It is sturdy and reliable, providing peace of mind for forest road rides and gravel touring.

The subtle flare of the handlebars allows for both aggressive and relaxed riding positions. When facing headwinds or climbing hills, you can grip the ends and push hard. Furthermore, a hidden benefit is the increased braking power due to the structure of flat bar brake levers.
“Drop bar look with flat bar braking power”—this is subtly amazing.
Highly Compatible Bikes
Excellent compatibility with gravel and adventure MTBs. For example...
- Rigid MTBs such as KONA UNIT X / BROTHER BIG BRO / BREEZER THUNDER
- All-around touring bikes like BREEZER RADAR CAFE / DOPPLER CAFE
- Chromoly adventure bikes like GROWN HEY JOE
- Also great for converting city commuter cross bikes like the KONA Dr.DEW to drop bars!

This handlebar allows you to "effortlessly" and "playfully" achieve a drop-style position on models originally designed with flat bars. It's a key component that broadens the possibilities for customization.
The 540mm size being available is an opportunity!
Currently, only the 540mm (54cm) size is on sale! While some might think it's too wide, this size is actually ideal for riders 175cm (approx. 5'9") or taller, or for MTBs/gravel bikes with long top tubes. The wider handlebar provides increased stability and excellent handling, especially on forest roads or during long tours with luggage. For larger riders, it's "the ideal choice."
Regular price ¥18,700 (tax included) → SALE price ¥14,960 (tax included) Limited stock, 540mm only. Re-stocking is undecided. If this size fits you, now's your chance. You'll be amazed at how much your ride changes with just a handlebar swap.

STAFF REVIEW

I installed the 540mm on my MTB, and it felt surprisingly natural. My wrists rest more comfortably than on drop bars, allowing for more relaxed upper body movement.
"Shortening the stem and widening the handlebars" dramatically increases riding freedom. It's a classic SURLY part that enhances both appearance and functionality, embodying their unique style.
