Hello, this is CRUMB WORKS.
I've waited a long time.
I thought it would never come to Japan again.
The handlebars we had been waiting for so long have finally arrived.
The super wide handlebar " Towel rack bar " from "CRUST BIKES" has finally arrived.
Its width is a whopping 675mm
The widest drop handlebars in the world.
At first glance, you might think, "Isn't this a bit too much?"
But this is becoming a trend in the adventure bike scene.
In fact, with the " Towel rack bar " at the forefront, all manufacturers are now widening their drop handlebars.
So let's consider why this wide " Towel rack bar " is attracting so much attention.
The first advantage of widening the handlebar width is the stability of steering.
Adventure riders in the "CRUST BIKES" community who ride across the vast lands of America often ride long distances on hard gravel roads.
If you ride a motorcycle loaded with pannier bags or a basket on such rough roads, the handling will naturally become unstable.
Widening the handlebar width allows for more stable riding, making dirt touring even more enjoyable.
The next benefit is the increased payload.
Nowadays, it is common for touring bikes to use handlebar bags or baskets for packing.
With normal handles, various problems arise, such as the lever interfering with luggage and limiting the amount of luggage that can be carried.
The “Towel rack bar” is designed to be used in conjunction with Poppi’s large saddle bag, the “Fabios chest”, making it ideal for attaching bags.
You can ride without worrying about lever interference or steering operability.
At first glance, the handlebar width may seem too wide, but it actually makes sense.
With such wide handlebars, it's only natural that you'd want a big saddlebag.
The perfect bag designed based on the “ Towel rack bar ”.
We will be selling the large saddle bag "Goldback" from "Bags by Bird".
In Japan, it is only available at "CRUMBWORKS".
Sales will start a little later, but if you are interested, please feel free to contact us.
Back orders are also accepted.
More details about the bag will be provided at a later date.
