VELO ORANGE Crazy Bar | A multi-functional touring bar where freedom of grip changes your ride
Combining the ease of a flat bar with the comfort of multiple positions. This unique handlebar truly shines in touring and bikepacking.
When riding for a long day, a handlebar requires more than just operability. It needs to distribute the burden on your body and allow you to naturally change positions according to the road surface and situation. This freedom significantly affects the comfort of your ride.
The VELO ORANGE Crazy Bar is a distinctive handlebar designed for such long-distance rides. With a large flare of approximately 35° and a characteristic extension part, it ensures multiple gripping positions.
In the city, you can operate it with the casual feel of a flat bar, and when facing headwinds or climbing, you can grip the front extension to lean forward. For long-distance touring and bikepacking, you can continue riding comfortably by changing positions as needed.
The wide handlebar width also provides excellent stability, offering reliable control even when carrying luggage or on rough roads. It's a versatile bar that matches a wide range of bikes, from gravel bikes and ATBs to commuters.

While the handlebar has a strong visual impact, it is quite practical in actual use. The biggest appeal is that it retains the reassuring feel of a flat bar while allowing you to continuously change positions over long distances by using the front extension.
Especially for bikepacking and long touring, this versatility in positions helps reduce fatigue. When you want to lean forward a bit in headwinds or climbs, you can naturally shift your body, making it surprisingly easy to use.
It's an excellent match for ATBs and gravel bikes, and also recommended for those who want to make their commuter bikes more comfortable. I believe this handlebar has a solid rationale beyond its unique appearance.
