Modern cycles are unique in their outward appearance, shape as well as how they are ridden. This has been made possible by various components but most importantly newer versions of handles. Besides drag handlebars, there are over ten other types of grips. Notably, each one of them is unique and suited for a specific cycle model. For instance, Zed bars are designed to provide comfort while riding. On the other hand, ape hangers are tall to enhance unique outward appearance. Detail description of other models is given below.
To begin with, there are Z-bars. Hand-grips are made of opposing Z-shaped tubes which lie on each side of the internal rise of handles. They have a slant appearance but are raised from inside. Notably, Z switches are short and narrow that is why they are common in not so wide choppers. Further, zed grips do not pull inwardly towards a cyclist. Normally, switches are straight and fixed. There are two different makes of this design. First is Maynard grip which has a perpendicular angle at the top. Conversely, zed handle has a similar angle but a taller rise.
The second variation is the ape hangers. Just as the name suggests, switches are so tall that a rider has to reach up to have a grip on them. While riding, users look like apes. Their unique factor is height. Some can be as tall as twenty-four inches. They are not suitable for people who look for comfort or control while purchasing a bike. Ape grips are common in choppers and cruisers. There are two variations if this makes. Mini or baby apes are shorter compared to Buck-horn.
Club man bars are made of a single tube which is clipped on the front. This make is designed for long distance rides at high speed. To facilitate this, hand-grips are placed such that air resistance is minimized as much as possible. They are common in sports bikes and could be seen in British cafe bikes originally.
A different make is clip-on grips. Most modern cycles are made of this design. Such are placed low to allow cyclists to lean forward while biking. Normally, switches are mounted on top of front splits. Notably, uniqueness lies the inability of riders to adjust position so that they are close or far from cyclists. A different make of these two-piece bars is artificial clip-on which cannot be adjusted.
Dirt bikes are fitted with special handles referred to as motocross hand-grips. Switches are straight and firm to maneuver rough pathways. Even where there are curves between grasps, a straight tube must be placed in the middle to supplement rigidity.
A slight variation of motocross is tracker handles. They are flatter hence preferred in flat trail cycling. Additionally, the tracker model can be made from normal wiring or cables thus very easy to install.
The last version is the keystone make. These resemble zed bars except that their upper part is slant inwardly. It is best suited for shorter motorcycles.
