Gravel Handlebar
The 314 handlebar was developed specifically for the Gravelbike.The gravel handlebar builds on the ergonomic concepts of the front sweep, the angular grip surface and the maximized contact surface of the 312R.With a 25 mm rise and 14 ° dropbar flare the handlebar additionally takes into account the requirements of the ride in the terrain.
Ergonomic
The 25 mm rise of the handlebars allows for a more relaxed posture on long distances by a slightly more upright seating position on the gravel bike.
Grip security
The 14° flare in the dropbar provides more control on technically challenging off-road rides. The gravel handlebar was specially designed for the dropbar flare to start below the brake handles to not change their position. Thus, the brake remains within reach at all times.
Ergonomics down to the last detail
Maximum Surface
The raised area of the gravel handlebar is flattened and pulled forward to create the largest possible contact surface. This results in the best possible grip with simultaneous uniform pressure distribution on the handlebar surface.
Ergobar
The wave-shaped elevation on the front of the handlebar gives a flat slightly angular shape. Thus, the gravel handlebar fits perfectly into the angular angled fingers of the hand.
Angular und Areal
Thanks to the flattened outer surface, the handlebar is also pleasant to grip in the lower position and at the same time provides a secure hold in various riding situations.
Dropbar with Frontsweep
Numbness in the fingers is a common problem, which often arises from an overstretching of the wrist. In a neutral posture, our wrists are naturally straight.
For arm positions that are wider than shoulder-width, for example when holding a MTB handlebar, we prevent an overstretching of the wrist through a backsweep.
But for arm positions closer than shoulder-width, a backsweep would stretch the wrist again. That‘s why the 314 gravel handlebar has a frontsweep of 10°, to ensure a straight transition from the forearm to the hand.

Which handlebar width is the right one on the gravel bike?
When choosing the right handlebar width for the gravel bike, several factors such as shoulder width, comfort and individual preferences play a role.
To determine the correct handlebar width, we recommend adding 2 cm to the measured shoulder width for more control and stability on uneven terrain.
Shoulder width + 2cm = optimum handlebar width
Shoulder width can be measured as the distance between the two shoulder roofs (acromion).
Everything for your next Gravel tour
Matching the 614 ERGOWAVE® active 2.1 saddle, the Gravel segment now gets a SQlab handlebar. The concept of the Frontsweep, the compact geometry, the flat and angular shape is also present here, as with our road bike handlebar 312 R Carbon. However, the 314 handlebar has a 25 mm Rise, which allows a comfortable sitting position. The 14° flare provides additional control in technical terrain and is designed to not affect the position of the brake handles.
In terms of ergonomics, in contrast to our MTB handlebars we rely on a 10 ° front sweep, which decreases towards the end of the handlebar and thus offers the perfect ergonomics. All contact surfaces are optimized down to the last detail:
• Grip security: The 14 ° flare provides additional control in technical terrain and is designed so that the brake levers do not tilt, hereby the brake is always accessible.
• Comfort: 25mm Rise for a comfortable and more upright sitting position on long distances.
• Ergobar: The Ergobar is a wave-shaped elevation on the top part of the bar. This results in a flat, slightly angular underside of the handlebar. Fits perfectly to the angled, bent fingers.
• Angular and Areal: Thanks to the flattened outer surface, the handlebar is also pleasant to grip in the lower position and at the same time provides a secure hold in various riding situations.
• Maximum Surface: The area which is flattened at the top and extended far forward is as large as possible. This allows the fingers to safely enclose the handlebar and at the same time provides maximum grip.
