Nothing will stop you on your gravel rides. Descend trails and tackle corners with confidence and comfort thanks to the new Gravel GX handlebar.

Progressive, with gravel-specific shapes including a 16-degree flare, a 5-degree outsweep, and a 40 mm lower section, it allows for increased control when descending and cornering on rough gravel terrain. The new D-shaped top section is combined with a 5-degree backsweep that adds more comfort for long rides on demanding terrain.

A 70 mm reach allows you to easily move your hands on the handlebar to access the brake lever. The 115 mm drop lets you quickly switch to a lower position for greater aerodynamic efficiency, better cornering control, and more confidence on descents.

The one-piece construction increases tensile strength and eliminates the additional weight and flex present in road handlebars. The T800 and T1100 carbon fiber layup increases weight savings, leaving the CADEX GX handlebar at an ultralight weight of 190 grams for a 420 mm size.

Designed for maximum speed and control on demanding gravel terrain, the new one-piece molded CADEX GX handlebar is conceived for those who want more confidence thanks to a more aggressive flare. The extended 16-degree flare combined with a 5-degree backsweep and outsweep and a D-shaped top section guarantees the perfect combination of control and handlebar compliance.
