Mountain bike handlebars are one of the most important pieces of equipment on the bike. They are the primary means by which the bike is steered, and they also provide a support mechanism for the rider. Brake levers and gear shifters are all attached to the handlebars.
The “right” mountain bike handlebars will be largely determined by the style of riding to be done. Downhill riders, for instance, will usually opt for steel handlebars, as they are less prone to breaking during extremely impacts. Aluminum and composite handlebars are also available for riders that do not put as much stress on their bikes.
There are several different “styles” of mountain bike handlebars as well. Straight bars are typically used by those that do a lot of jumping and trick riding. Drop bar designs are generally considered the best “all around” style for mountain bikers.
