About this business
We use wood as it offers greater durability and natural flex than traditional handle bar materials, such as aluminium alloy, steel and carbon fibre. These flex and durability properties are as a result of the tree being exposed to the elements and waving around at everyone, at the hint of a breeze. This is the tree’s equivalent of exercising and gaining strength, not unlike people going to the gym and biking. In addition to this, the tree’s natural cellulose structure absorbs vibrations naturally, which is exactl... read more

Besides being a piece of art, these bars are actually quite functional. In a word, smooth! Even on my fully suspended Mountain e-bike, I've been having wrist issues. You would not think that there is a difference on suspended bike but they're definitely is. These bars take those small hits and vibration that the suspension doesn't have a chance to respond to. Since my handlebar clamps are for 35 mm, I used the SQ labs adapter plates, 31.8 to 35 mm. The craftsmanship is simply superb. The craftsmanship is simply stunning!

I've had a stubbornly broken and plated ulna and a broken bone chip in my wrist for the last 3 years. Cycling was too painful until I bought a Gump 760. It's enabled me to enjoy cycling and bikepacking again. Much less pain than any of the carbon/Jones/swept bars I also have.
The difference in comfort is astounding, I use the Gump 760 on my rigid single speed and the compliance of bamboo is amazing. Last Saturday I did a 30 mile race on this bike and even then my wrists were fine. Not so with the last handlebar I had on this same bike ! David Turner Founder Turnerbikes Since 1994
After discovering these bamboo bars on a gravel bike tour out of Christchurch with Pacific Cycle Tours, I bought a pair and installed on my full-suspension mountain bike back home in North Carolina in the US. I LOVE these bamboo bars! I can feel them flex just a bit when I am climbing hard, which is perfectly fine, and they have sort of a "live", supple feel to them as I handle through rocks and roots that furthers my sense of confident control on the bike. AND, I believe I am experiencing less nerve compression-related numb... read more
