The Cyrano R5 is the entry level handlebar from fi'zi:k.Ê Made from 6061 Anticorodal Aluminium.Ê It offers the ability for riders to incorportate the fi'zi:k Spine Conceptª system at a lower price point.ÊJust as your choice of fi'zi:k Spine Conceptª saddle shape is guided by your degree of spinal flexibility and subsequent pelvic rotation, fi'zi:k offers this same Spine Conceptª guideline to help you choose your most comfortable road handlebar shape.ÊThe application of The Spine Conceptª to handlebar shape is the result of fi'zi:k's research with riders of 3 UCI World Tour Teams that were riding fi'zi:k saddles.Ê A correlation was found between the saddle shape each rider was using and the handlebar shape they were riding.ÊYour shoulders' width should determine your handlebar width.Ê Choose from the following centre-centre measurements: 400/420/440/460mm. ÊFi'zi:k handlebars widths are measured centre-to-centre 'on the tops' (behind where the STIs are attached to the bar).Ê They are NOT measured centre-to-centre 'on the drops' (between the centre of each bar plug).ÊThe Snake Handlebar: If you are very spinally flexible (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.Ê You are better able to reach further and get down lower to use the full radius of more rounded, classic-style, deeper-drop handlebars.ÊYou will prefer the Snake Handlebar because it has a longer reach (80mm on the 400mm bar and 85mm on the 420mm and 440mm) and deeper, classic-style drop (130mm on 400mm bar, 135mm on 420mm and 140mm on the 440mm bars).ÊThe 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.Ê 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 (80mm on the 400mm bar and 85mm on the 420mm and 440mm) but a shallower, more ergonomic-style drop (130mm on the 400mm bar and 135mm on the 420mm and 440mm).ÊThe 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.Ê 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 (75mm on the 400mm bar and 80mm on the 420mm and 440mm) and a shallower, more ergonomic-style handlebar drop (125mm on the 400mm bar and 130mm on the 420mm and 440mm).ÊÊMaterial: Anticorodal 6061 aluminiumWeight: 310g (size 400mm, centre to centre)Flare of drops: 3 degreesDiameter: 31.8mm clampGraphics matt sandblasted black with R5 graphicsÊÊReach ÊÊÊ DropSnake80mm/85mmÊÊÊ 130mm/135mm/140mmChameleon80mm/85mmÊÊÊ 130mm/135mmBull75mm/80mmÊÊÊ 125mm/130mm
