Carbon Cross Drop Bar

For Cyclocross, presenting the Thomson Carbon Cross Drop Bar. Its the natural transition from your Thomson road bar for the cross season. Twin flats on the bottom of the bar allow taping your housing to create a round bar when wrapped. The top profile is round and as wide as possible. This is the carbon fibre cyclocross handlebar built to take all the season can dish out. This allows auxiliary brake levers to be safely used and still leaves lots of room for your hands. Certified to EN, tested to DIN+.

The construction layup uses three distinct fiber types, each with varying tensile strengths and moduli, including High Strength carbon fiber. This design strategically distributes stiffness and flexibility to optimize performance where it matters most.

All carbon fibre is produced by Toray and uses tailor-made Nano Epoxy Resin for very high impact resistance. Toray is the main supplier of carbon fibre for Boeing and Airbus.

The Cross bars are made in one piece, not three pieces co-moulded and glued together. The bars are moulded over an EPS mandrel to avoid wrinkles inside the layup during moulding. Most other bars are moulded over inflatable nylon bladders.

1.5K woven impact ends help prevent damage to unidirectional fibres from impact.
