Abstract: An ergonomic and aerodynamic bicycle handlebar system having appropriate sweep angles and slope angles, embodiments of which can vary both for the type of application and the width of the bar, provides improved energy efficiency, comfort and increased center of gravity control. Flare angle and drop angle can also be adjusted for particular applications. The handlebar may be made of carbon fiber or other suitable materials. Various alternative embodiments are disclosed for drop handlebars and mountain bike handlebars.

Abstract: A bicycle handlebar system that ensures comfort, safety, and increased center of gravity control. An ergonomic bicycle handlebar system having a sweep angle in the range of 4 to 45 degrees, a slope angle in the range of 5 to 60 degrees or both accomplishes comfort, safety, and increased center of gravity control. The handlebar may be made of nano tube zlyte resin with graphene-impregnated carbon fibers. The interplay of sweep angle and slope angle is recognized.
