Fizik Cyrano R5 Road Handlebar features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Handlebars. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Fizik Cyrano R5 Road Handlebar.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Fizik Cyrano R5 Road Handlebar is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Handlebars. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Handlebars. Brands like Fizik are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Handlebars category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

Fizik Cyrano R5 Road Handlebar Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Fizik Cyrano R5 Road Handlebar reviews there.

• Description: Fizik Cyrano R5 Road HandlebarThe Cyrano R5 is the entry-level handlebar from Fizik. It is made from 6061 anticorodal aluminium that makes it incredibly lightweight and great at reducing road vibrations. It offers the ability for riders to incorporate the flexibility of Fizik’s Spine Concept system at a lower price point.Just as your choice of Fizik Spine Concept saddle shape is guided by your degree of spinal flexibility and subsequent pelvic rotation, Fizik offers this same Spine Concept guideline to help you choose your most comfortable road handlebar shape.The application of The Spine Concept to handlebar shape is the result of Fizik’s research with riders of 3 UCI World Tour Teams that were riding Fizik saddles. A correlation was found between the saddle shapes each rider was using and the handlebar shape they were riding.The Snake Handlebar: If you have a very flexible spine (far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Snake.  You are better able to reach further and get down lower to use the full radius of more rounded, classic-style, and deeper-drop handlebars.You will prefer the Snake Handlebar because it has a longer reach and deeper, classic-style drop.The Chameleon Handlebar: If you have an intermediate degree of spinal flexibility (approximately 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a chameleon.  You are better able to reach further, but perhaps you can’t get down quite as low on the handlebar drops as a Snake would be able to.You will prefer the Chameleon Handlebar because it has a longer reach but a shallower, more ergonomic-style drop.The Bull Handlebar: If you have a relatively low degree of spinal flexibility (more than 90 degrees between your straight legs and back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Bull.  You will not be able to reach as far or bend as low as a Snake or a Chameleon would be able to.You will prefer the Bull Handlebar because it has a shorter reach and a shallower, more ergonomic-style handlebar drop.Features: Material: Anticorodal 6061 aluminium Flare of drops: 3 degrees Diameter: 31.8mm Weight: 310g (size 400mm, centre to centre)Buy Fizik Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
