Absolutely beautiful bars not just to look at but to ride. I have been running mine for a few weeks now and they cut the chatter on my rigid mtb out better than anything other than a fork.Perfect for brevets and commuting and any mountain biking where you are not spending a lot of time off the ground. I will stick with my carbon bars for racing, bike parks and dirt jumps (maybe alloy for that) but most of my days are spent in the saddle these days and these are my go to for 95% of rides.

Wow! what a improvement the Gump bars have made to my biking experience. The flex has taken stress and pressure off my wrists, arms and shoulders on long rides. They look great and feel even better - 10/10 highly recommend

These bars are AMAZING!! Not only are they aesthetically pleasing, they also make the ride a whole lot more comfortable. The bamboo has just enough flex to help absorb the shock on the bumpy trails and reduces the grip fatigue on the longer rides. Prepare to be stopped and questioned about these bad boys because they are a head turner!

I've been riding a set of "Gump" bars for a few months now. They've got a comfy amount of back-sweep (22 Deg) which can be hard to find these days. The sensitivity on gravel (and chunder-ous cycle paths) is unreal, they work at a frequency that most suspension forks aren't able to. These bars are great, your wrists will thank you..

I've been rocking the Passchier bars for a few months now and absolutely love 'em.Used them on a 10 day bikepacking adventure across the North Island in late Feb and they were comfortable and perfect for that.Be prepared though, if you get a set, and you should, you will get a LOT of comments and questions about the. They look really cool, and let's be honest, isn't that the most important thing?Images to come

Continued to bike around my bubble with the super sweep bamboo bars from Paschier. Have been using these bambooen wonderbars for some months now, and find them so comfortable. Good for short rides and even better for long rides. Amazing vibration dampening from the lightweight lamination. And they look great.

Hi,I own a Spot brand city commuter bike as my contribution to a comfortable, environmentally friendly, alternative for transport to and from work, and for short personal trips. The bike has an aluminium frame and Carbon front forks making it a relatively lightweight bike. The gates carbon belt drive make a very smooth effortless drive via a low maintenance seven speed hub, to the road tyres.I have made improvements to the original handle bars by installing a par of Ergon GP1 hand grips which provide a large ergonomic contact area between the rider and the bike. It adsorbs some of the vibration frequencies transmitted up through the front forks. The increased contact area of the handlebars and your hands largely reduces mussel discomfort around the wrist and palms.When I found out about laminated bamboo handle bars, I could understand how the long natural fibrous bamboo material could also contribute to reducing, and softening the vibration frequencies.After installing a 22 degree, 650mm width bar on my Spot commuter bike, I took a ride over a variety of surfaces around my suburb. These surfaces ranged from smooth asphalt, chip seal road surfaces, concrete paths, off road surfaces including bambooen board walks, grassed areas, various gravel grades, compacted clay surfaces ranging from smooth to rutted tracks.I found the comfort of steering was significantly improved. The angle and width of the bars put my wrist and elbow angle into a very natural, and comfortable shoulder width position. There was a definite reduction in the intensity of vibration through the handgrips. The natural position of my hands, wrists, and elbows made controllability of riding over rough surfaces relatively safe and comfortable, even at speed.I felt I could ride for a longer period of time without feeling any added stress to my wrists and arms. I would attribute this to the shape of the bars, but more importantly the ability of the laminated bamboo fibres to absorb most of the various vibration frequencies. The other added appeal is the aesthetics of the bars. The clear lacquer coated laminated bamboo colour adds a natural contrast to the bikes appearance. I can only fully recommend these bars especially if you spend a lot of time on your bike, such as touring or regular commuting. Even someone who is a bit of bike nut, these are the “bees knees” for comfort and style.Happy CyclingPeter Harrison

Fitted a set of Gump bars on my Surly Karate Monkey. Absolutely love them. Nice amount of flex to absorb small bumps etc but very strong as well.And they look great too!

I fitted a set of Gump bars to my Surely adventure bike and just love them. They are flexi enough to absorb small bump feed back but feel very strong as well. and you cant get past the fact that they look awesome as well!Great product and service.

Have been trialing the 22 deg handlebars on my cargo bike. Feels solid and stylish - have received several questions about them! Love the idea of using bamboo where possible, and NZ made too! They are comfortable, with just a little extra flex than my old bars.

The best bambooen handlebars, in Christchurch, for my mountain bike. Superb customer service and excellent staff - hands down. Always go the extra mile to help with any issues or questions. Can't recommend them highly enough!
