Deda Elementi Superzero RS Alloy Handlebar - 38cm

RHM (Rapid Hand Movement) shapes are designed for quicker transitions between hand positions, particularly from the hoods to the drops, offering a more immediate feel for racing and aggressive riding.

The 6° flare means the ends of the drops angle outwards by 6 degrees. This creates a wider stance in the drops, increasing stability and control, especially on descents or rough terrain.

Yes, you can still use the handlebar by routing cables externally. The DCR system is an optional feature for a cleaner look, but the handlebar functions perfectly with external cable routing.

Deda measures this handlebar's width from outside edge to outside edge at the widest point of the drops. This is a common standard, but always confirm your preferred measurement method.

The 6° flare provides added stability that can be beneficial for gravel riding. However, for more aggressive gravel riding, consider handlebars with a wider flare (e.g., 12° or more).

The clamp diameter for the stem is 31.7mm, which is a standard size for most road bike stems.

The Deda Elementi Superzero RS Alloy handlebar weighs approximately 280g for a 42cm size.

Ensure the stem clamp bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification. Use a carbon paste if installing on a carbon steerer tube or if recommended by stem manufacturer. Clean both the stem clamp area and the handlebar clamp surface.

Verify that your frame and headset are designed for Deda's DCR system. Ensure no sharp bends or kinks are present in the cables within the frame or handlebar. Consult a professional bike mechanic if issues persist.

Check for proper bar tape installation and ensure levers are mounted at a consistent height and angle on both sides of the handlebar.
