Our drop bar is available in six widths: 40, 43, 46BP, 50BP, 55 and 60 cm wide. The 40 and 43 are great for all-day road and light gravel riding and pair very well with our Belgie DISC and ULTRA bikes. The 46BP and 50BP options are perfect flared drop bars for gravel grinding and bikepacking and are fitted to our GXR a.k.a. Kevins. Choose the 55 or 60 option for drop bar mountain bikes, off-road touring or fat-tyre bikepacking rigs such as our GMX+.
Walmer Bars are designed to service the rigours and demands of rugged gravel and off-road bikepacking. No handlebar on the market was the right width or shape, so we decided to create our own.
Originally intended to complement the new GMX+ bikepacking platform, Walmer Bars also work with any off-road drop bar bike. Walmer Bars bring the stability and control of MTB bars combined with the multiple hand positions of drop bars. The extra width also offers more storage space for bar mounted bags, lights, navigation etc.
The ability to change hand position regularly prevents pressure and tension build up, and helps minimise numbness and blisters. A wider handlebar also offers more stability and control, particularly when descending sketchy terrain on a loaded bike. A wider bar also gives added leverage when tackling technical climbs.
Breath in! Named after a narrow pedestrian/cycle bridge on the Yarra River in Melbourne. There's little room for anything else if Walmer Bars are crossing.
