Curve’s new dramatically curved Remlaw flat bar aims to keep your hands in the same position as your current gravel bike drop bar, but with a more comfortable or more familiar mountain bike cockpit feel. Setting out to simply provide more handlebar options to off-road touring and bikepacking adventurers, the Remlaw could be a great option for gravel riders not sold on drop bars.
Curve Remlaw forward & backswept gravel adventure flat bar
While gravel and bikepacking specific bikes have opened up a lot of adventure ride possibilities to a lot of riders, new & old, there still are plenty of cyclists who would prefer a flat bar for simplicity, comfort, and downright familiarity. Curve’s Remlaw was built to make the move back to a flat bar as easy as possible.
Curve developed their new Remlaw to match the same reach at the grips as their wide Walmer adventure dropbar, giving riders the same regular hand position as on the hoods to keep bike handling unchanged. (Its name is Walmer backwards… remlaW.)
How does it work?
That works by first sweeping the Remlaw bar forward about 65mm, before bending it back for 12° of backsweep. The result is that the inside of your MTB grips (110mm from the end of the bar end) sits 41mm forward of the stem like their compact Walmer, with the ends of the 800mm wide bar still 18mm forward from the stem.
It’s similar to the more exaggerated backsweep of Ritchey’s super affordable Kyote bar that we’ve seen before, with that bar’s end offset more, around 60mm behind the stem.
