Embrace bold style and refined ergonomics with the Velo Orange Left Bank Handlebar, designed for cyclists who value both comfort and character. At 49cm wide, it’s wider than traditional French bars yet narrower than many British or American-style bars, offering a perfect balance between control and flair. The grips flare outward slightly, inviting a more open and confident riding posture. Named after Paris’s Left Bank, this handlebar evokes the spirit of the Latin Quarter, historically home to students, artists, and leftist philosophers.

Constructed from polished alloy, the Left Bank handlebar is strong, lightweight, and durable. The bulged stem clamp area (25.4mm) prevents squeaking and ensures a secure fit. With a reach of 18cm, rise of 7cm, and a 16cm grip area, it provides a comfortable and natural hand position for long rides.
