Fsa wing11/23/2023 Cutting-edge manufacturing allows us to form and manipulate high-strength 7050 aluminium tubing, varying the wall thicknesses and diameter throughout the bar. The FSA K-Wing is a very lightweight handlebar which will allow you to do miles in comfort at the same time as adding a certain bling factor to the front end of your bike. FSA’s Energy compact handlebars push aluminium technology as far as it can go. Internal cable routing, a high gloss 3k carbon weave finish and subtle but attractive graphics mean these bars certainly look the part. Subtle touches include a slight cut away section on the inside of the anatomical (rather than a smooth curve) drop to allow the k-wings to fit neatly into the palms of your hand. Aero/ergo flat tops with 10mm rise internal cable routing Reinforced and textured clamping areas 'Wing' section diameter is size specific Internal cable. A great option for climbing and not an issue that would put me off buying a set. The FSA K-wing is constructed from Carbon/Kevlar composite making it stronger and stiffer than most carbon bars of the same caliber, and also weighs in at only 245g (for a 42cm). The flatter top section won't suit everyone as it can cause your wrist to be at a 90 degree angle for some time, this will clearly be uncomfortable for some but I found it fine, I suspect the more you 'lean' on the bars the worse it could become. There was no softness to the ride, just comfort when you needed it. On the flip side the bars perform very well when climbing, out of the saddle or sprinting when you really need something to work against. There is enough in the way of damping in the carbon/kevlar construction to calm down the road noise and any potholes that I failed to miss. This incarnation of the K-Wing also makes being on the drops more natural so larger or more upright riders may well enjoy the changes too. The shallow nature of the drops make it ideal for smaller riders like myself. This new compact version of FSAs extremely popular K-Wing bar provide a good looking, comfortable and responsive set of carbon drops.īy compact, I mean that FSA have shortened the reach from 90mm to 78mm and the drop goes down from 145mm to 125mm.
