The origin of the name is "Forest Gump".
New Zealand's Passchier is making bicycle handlebars using bamboo with strength, lightness and flexibility.It is a bamboo that is familiar to us for Asians, but if you use a handlebar, I think it is fresh to use the vibration on the wrong road and reduce the fatigue and pain of your palms, wrists, and arms.
Moreover, it is also a sustainable material.It is kind to people and the environment, and it is good.
Clear a strict load capacity test
The handlebar is not made from one bamboo, but is coated with many layers.Its strength has a track record in the grip of both hands, and even if the load of 25 kg of 25 kg is given for 5 consecutive days, it will not break.If it is made of alloys, it is not only rigid and there is no suppleness, but bamboo has a small burden on the body.
31 diameter in the center.The 8mm carbon fiber is wrapped, so the part sandwiched between the stem will not be damaged.
Two types with different widths and colored in the near future
There are currently two handlebars.The GUMP 760, which is 760 mm wide at 22 degrees angle, and the "GUMP 650" for people running in a narrow city with a width of 650mm, both are $ 350NZ (about 26900 yen).
However, after a few weeks, a colorful lineup such as red and blue will appear.You can wait a minute and choose the color that suits your car.
