Abstract: A handlebar suitable for use on vehicles such as motorcycles, bicycles, tricycles and jet skis is described. The handlebar has a constant outside diameter, but has an inside diameter at its center section different than the inside diameter at its end sections. The handlebar may comprise an outer tube of standard outer dimensions and an inner tube centered in the outer tube for added rigidity in the central positions. The handlebar provides added rigidity over typical handlebars while permitting use of standard size components with the handlebar. A method of manufacturing such a handlebar is also described.
