The EXS R205 carbon handlebar is a versatile all-terrain road bar, designed to perform confidently on both paved roads and gravel. It combines road efficiency with added control and durability for riders who venture beyond smooth tarmac.
An ergonomic top section provides enhanced palm support, helping to reduce pressure points and minimise hand numbness on long rides, making it ideal for endurance and mixed-surface use.
The R200 features a completely new drop curve with a shallower 100mm drop, allowing riders to adopt a more relaxed and sustainable position in the drops. A restrained forward sweep improves wrist alignment when braking, enhancing comfort and control.
With 40mm flared drops, the handlebar offers increased leverage and stability when riding aggressively or on loose terrain, while the 100mm wide central clamp area accommodates accessories such as aerobars for added versatility.
Built from high-strength carbon fibre, the R200 meets Shimano’s latest gravel impact test standard (70J) - exceeding conventional road requirements - ensuring confidence, safety, and durability even on rough and unpaved surfaces.
Ergonomic Design of the R-Series Handlebars
The ergonomic design of the R-Series Handlebars provides good support for the palm, reducing the likelihood of hand numbness over long rides.
Completely New Drop Curve
Unlike the other R-series Handlebars, the R200 has a new drop design with only a 100mm drop. This allows the rider to adopt a more relaxed position on the drops.
The forward sweep on the drops is also restrained for a better hand angle when using the brake lever, improving control.
40mm Flared Drops
The width of the drop is 40mm wider compared to the top, enhancing handling while on the drops.
100mm Central Clamp Area
For all-terrain usage, the central clamping area is increased to 100mm, allowing riders to install accessories like a time trial bar.
Gravel Impact Standard on Road Handlebars
The R200 handlebar impact test strength is 70 Joules, adhering to Shimano's latest gravel impact test standards - higher than regular road handlebar standards, ensuring these bars are safe even on unpaved surfaces.
