Syncros Creston SL Compact Handlebar

About Syncros Creston SL Compact Handlebar
Creston Carbon bars are crafted from high modulus carbon fiber to ensure precise steering in a lightweight and race worthy design. The extra reinforced clamping area reduces stress hotspots, and the optimised carbon layup all but eliminates harsh road vibrations. The compact bend provides you with a modern and comfortable hand postition to mitigate fatigue, keeping you both confident and in control.

Features
Compact drop and reach with smooth curve transition

70mm Reach / 125mm Drop

Short reach and shallow bend with smooth transitions alleviate pressure on hands and greatly improve comfort

Full carbon construction

Carbon UD: The foundation of Syncros carbon components are their fibres. At Syncros they mainly use unidirectional carbon fibres. These show more tensile strength and modulus than woven carbon patterns. (Tensile strength is the amount of force needed to cause the fibres to break, while the tensile modulus is a measure of the carbon fibre's stiffness). This gives Syncros the ability to produce very light carbon products and to be one of the innovation leaders in the industry. 

Compression Molded: This process allows Syncros to mold really intricate parts and shapes that they couldn’t otherwise. The molding material is first placed into the heated mold which is then closed and pressure is applied to force the material into the shape we want while heat is applied. The heat and pressure continues until the material has cured.

SL Carbon Layup: The Syncros superlight SL Line uses the highest quality carbon fibre and construction techniques to produce components that are on average 10% lighter while maintaining the same performance and durability characteristic. These race bred components represent the absolute top of the range, designed specifically for SCOTT RC bikes.
