Tests for Handlebars
Your safety hinges on the integrity of your handlebars. That's why our handlebars are subjected to an exhaustive regimen of structural fatigue, static load, and impact tests with our strict in-house standards, guaranteeing the strongest link between you and your bike.
Drops Stiffness Vertical Test (Downwards)
The vertical stiffness test for the drops (downwards) evaluates the handlebar's ability to withstand vertical compression forces applied to the drops. By simulating real-world stress conditions, this test measures the flex or deformation of the handlebar when subjected to a downward force.
Drops Stiffness Vertical Test (Upwards)
The vertical stiffness test for the drops (upwards) measures the handlebar's deformation when subjected to upward compression forces. This test mimics reverse stress scenarios that can occur during steep climbs or dynamic load shifts, ensuring durability and reliability.
Hoods Stiffness Vertical Test (Downwards)
The vertical stiffness of the hoods directly influences braking efficiency and control during rides. Consistent stiffness ensures a more responsive lever feel, improving rider confidence and handling precision in demanding scenarios.
Handlebar In-Phase Loading Fatigue Test
The handlebar in-phase loading fatigue simulates symmetrical forces applied to the handlebar during steady and uniform stress conditions. This scenario models rider-induced forces such as pulling on both drops simultaneously during a sprint or climb.
Handlebar Out-Phase Loading Fatigue
The handlebar out-phase loading fatigue test evaluates the handlebar's performance under alternating, asynchronous forces. This test replicates uneven stress conditions, such as a rider encountering sudden impacts or handling instability on rough terrain.
Handlebar Impact Test
The impact resistance test measures the handlebar's durability and ability to withstand sudden forces. By simulating real-world impacts, this test evaluates the handlebar's structural resilience and ensures rider safety during unexpected shocks or crashes.
We pick only one sample for every test report, and the results will likely vary as the handlebar dimensions, materials, and designs change. Please note that the differences between models in test results, such as stiffness, weight, and ergonomic profile, are specially designed by our engineers for the intended uses.
All the test results of this section are based on the lab criteria of Light Bicycle and are implemented at our well-established testing facilities. Light Bicycle is only responsible for the test results themselves, which are not set for any comparison to other brands or in such regard.
