SURLY Corner Bar|An innovative handlebar that allows for "drop conversion" while retaining flat levers
Add a new way to enjoy your beloved bike with a drop position, without changing components.
The SURLY "Corner Bar" is a unique handlebar that allows you to enjoy a drop handlebar-like position while still using your existing flat handlebar brake and shift levers.
It's SURLY's answer to the dilemma, "I want to convert to drops, but I don't want to replace my STI levers or components." Made from chromoly, its toughness and distinctive flared shape make it an excellent match for gravel rides and long-distance touring.
While retaining the high braking power and operability characteristic of flat bars, it also ensures cruising performance and comfort through a forward-leaning position. It's also recommended for customizing cross bikes, MTBs, and adventure bikes.
Simply by changing the handlebars, your usual bike will transform with a completely different feel. The places you ride and the ways you play will naturally expand.

This is a truly interesting part that lets you enjoy the sensation of "transforming your current beloved bike into a different character," rather than "buying a new bike."
💬 STAFF REVIEW
This excellent product allows you to get a drop bar riding position while still using your flat bar components.
For example, if you started your cycling life with a hybrid for city rides and now want to try long-distance rides with drop handlebars,
this is an idea that overcomes compatibility barriers and maximizes what you already have.
Its unique appearance is also very cool!
