302 3.0 Handlebar ergonomics
The handlebar height (Rise) provides a more upright sitting position on the trekking bike and at the same time the downsweep provides relaxation for neck and shoulders. The above-average width of 700 mm provides safety and stability but can also be shortened at any time. 24° Backsweep and 15° downsweep ensure an ergonomic, relaxed posture on the trekking bike.
Backsweep
ensures a straight transition from the forearm to the hand and reduces numbness in the fingers.
Downsweep
provides a natural posture of the elbows, which relaxes the neck and shoulder muscles.
Rise
or the handlebar height allows an individual adjustment of the sitting position.
Tension in the shoulder and neck area while cycling?
Cause - Handlebar without downsweep
can lead to tension in the shoulder and neck muscles.
In a upright riding position on a trekking or city bike, it is important to relax the shoulder and neck muscles to prevent discomfort. This is due to the fact that if a handlebar has too little downward bend (downsweep), it forces the hands to rotate inward, which results in the elbows moving outward and the shoulders being pulled toward the head. This unnatural posture can cause the shoulder and neck muscles to become very tense and painful.
To avoid these problems and relax the muscle chain, the goal should be to get the "shoulders away from the ears." A handlebar with more "downsweep" can help achieve this. The "downsweep" in combination with the "backsweep" (bending backwards) provides a natural hand position and an elbow position close to the body. This natural posture lowers the shoulders and the muscles in the neck get better blood circulation and relax due to a looser position.

Safety and quality
All handlebars in the comfort series offer the highest quality and safety that can be achieved with comfort handlebars.
They theoretically meet the requirements for use in the Downhill World Cup, which corresponds to the highest international category ASTM 5.
To our knowledge, we are the first manufacturer of comfort handlebars to achieve these high standards.
The handlebars are specially designed for trekking and city traffic and meet the international ASTM 2 standards. They are approved for a total system weight of up to 180kg and can be used in cargo bikes up to 230kg and multi-track bikes up to 300kg.

Safety and quality
The quality and durability are the highest, because SQlab has gone beyond the goal: All Comfort handlebars are manufactured to MTB standards and have passed the most demanding downhill test protocol of the German Zedler Institute.
Handlebar ergonomics
As the rise grows, so does the Backsweep and Downsweep. This always results in the optimal, ergonomic wrist position and maximum relaxation for neck and shoulders when a more upright sitting position is desired.
Rise: the handlebar height allows an individual adjustment of the sitting position.
Backsweep: ensures a straight transition from the forearm to the hand and reduces numbness in the fingers.
Downsweep: provides a natural posture of the elbows, which relaxes the neck and shoulder muscles.
The maximum
system weight - bike, rider and luggage - is 180kg
