Italian accessories specialist Ursus has designed its new Magnus H02 handlebar platform as… ‘a system that guarantees the best manoeuvrability of the bicycle and the fluidity of the mechanisms transmitted by the controls.’
Ursus claims that its commitment to the innovation of integrated racing handlebars has taken a new step forward with the new product offering….
‘Lightness, ergonomics, and aerodynamics find their perfect synthesis in Magnus H.02, a carbon handlebar in which each single detail is designed to make the experience of riding a road bike unforgettable.’
The product weight is only 380g (in size M). Ursus adds that the light weight goes hand in hand with the rigidity of the handlebar structure… ‘designed to aid riders in sprints and allow for trajectories to be planned in an extremely precise way.’
Alongside full cable integration, to ensure maximum efficiency in the combination with the different assembly systems adopted by various bicycle manufacturers, the R&D team at Ursus has designed a system that claims to… ‘guarantee the best manoeuvrability of the bicycle and the fluidity of the mechanisms transmitted by the controls that are integrated in the handlebar.’
A modulated curve at the joint angle has been created in which the cables are protected, until they reach the 1”-1/2 steering bearing. Depending on the type of bike, the housing front brake can slide directly into the fork steerer with a special expander or follow the path of the other cables in a special housing located behind the head tube.
‘Magnus H02 is available in 8 different sizes, ensuring a comfortable grip and aerodynamic position for cyclists of any physical build.’
Seen from the front, Magnus H02 is slightly wider at the base. According to Ursus, this allows the arms more freedom of movement when gripping the lower handle, especially when gaining speed.
To find a compromise between aerodynamics and ergonomics, the sections of the handlebars at the various support points are modelled differently.
A replaceable aluminium plate has been integrated into the fixing area of the fold to the fork. The screws, therefore, are fixed onto the metal, thus avoiding the risk of damaging carbon forks in the event of excessive tightening.
In the lower part of the handlebar attachment, there are two rivets for mounting a bike computer support in a position that latches onto the front contours of the handlebar.
