Why Do Mountain Bikes Have Wide Handlebars?

Posted on June 20, 2022
why do mountain bikes have wide handlebars

More mountain bikers are choosing wider handlebars for control and leverage. The right handlebar is dependent on personal preference, riding style, and terrain. Shimano marketing specialist Joe Lawwill, who is also an elite level enduro racer, explains the benefits of wide handlebars. Here are some reasons why. Listed below are just a few:

Optimal shoulder mechanics

Optimal shoulder mechanics when riding a mountain bike depends on proper posture and the width of the handlebars. A wider stance will increase range of motion and help you do push-ups. A wider stance is also better for pushing, climbing, and downhill running. Those who regularly ride bikes should consider getting a wide handlebar. This will give you more leverage when you get off the bike.

More oxygen

Mountain bikes with wide handlebars have many advantages over their narrow cousins. Besides making you feel safer on a trail, wide handlebars are also more comfortable to hold, as they reduce shoulder strain. While this feature is very convenient, some people report shoulder pain when using mountain bikes with wide handlebars. It’s important to understand the proper position when using mountain bikes and avoiding a “shrugging” position.

Stem length

While you might not immediately notice the difference, wider handlebars can have several positive effects. First, they increase your ability to maneuver the bike and stabilize your front wheel with less energy. Second, wider handlebars open your chest, allowing you to breathe easier when you’re climbing. Those benefits are just a few of the many benefits of wide handlebars. Lastly, they allow you to sit more comfortably when riding and can literally provide a breath of fresh air.

Terrain

If you’re new to mountain biking and have been wondering why bikes have wide handlebars, read on. You’ll be glad you’ve made the switch once you learn the benefits of wider handlebars. While wide handlebars can be a great benefit on the trails, they can also result in shoulder pain. The “shrugging” position of your arms can cause your shoulders to get sore.
