Origin8 Bullhorn Handlebar

I bought this to replace the stock handlebar on my single speed. The moment I rode the bike with the new bullhorns, I noticed a huge difference. This handlebar gave me a significantly improved feeling of control over my bike while also being extremely durable.Pros:1) Great size. Obviously this is a subjective opinion, but in my experience, 40cm is a perfect width for fixies or single speeds. It keeps my arms tight to my body and forces my weight to remain closer to the midline of the bike. I think this is one of the big reasons I feel so much more in control. I'm 5'5", 125lbs, and I wouldn't change this size AT ALL.2) Good horn angle. The last bullhorn handlebar I had had a much steeper angle to the horns, leaving me feeling very uncomfortable during rides. This angle is perfect to keep my butt on the back of my seat, while also remaining horizontal enough to have great control of turning.3) Durable. After installing on my bike, I've made sure to take note every time my bike's fallen over or been nicked. This handlebar still looks new, despite being the point of impact when my bike falls over. Also, I store my bike in a closet sometime, and the door has "accidentally" caught the handlebar in the doorway a few times; still no dents/dings. I should note that I covered this handlebar with bike tape the day I installed it. So that probably helps protect it substantially.Cons:1) Paint chips. I'm assuming this is an aluminum alloy painted with varying colors. I purchased black to match my bike, and the parts of the handlebar that are not covered by tape have a few, very small nicks and scratches in the paint from day-to-day wear and tear.2) Does not come with end-caps. The ends of the handlebar are open, since the handlebar is hollow, and the handlebar did not come with caps for the holes. Luckily, I had a bunch from past handlebars laying around, but be ready to buy some if you don't already have them.Overall, I really had a tough time trying to think of any cons of this handlebar. In my experience, it has been one of the best additions to my daily commuter bike and looks great too. I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a handlebar for their fixie or single speed. I would not advise it for a geared road bike, since I cannot imagine that shifting would be comfortable with it.Best of all, this price is UNBEATABLE. I visited 4 local bike stores (2 mom and pop shops, 1 large bike store that is a national chain, and walmart/target) and none of them had any better options at this price. The closest thing I found was $20 more expensive and weighed at least a few grams more. This is going to be one of the best prices for quality you can find.

I put this handlebar on my track bike four years ago and it’s still going strong. I like these bars.

Shiny, black finish, 420mm width, Simple Bull Horn. Best feeling going uphill, but gotta be creative when there's headwinds. I've found 5 desirable bar positions. I recommend silver as the Black shows scratches. Black looks good with this setup though😁😁😁

Wow! Great quality especially for such a low price. The outer grip areas are textured paint while the middle area is glossy. You can probably get away with not wrapping it but I like grip and cushion so I’m wrapping mine. Very light weight, not bent or defective in any way. Highly recommend

I love these handlebars; the design is slick and exactly what I was looking for - not to mention the color is awesome! They were lighter than I expected them to feel when I put them on my bike, but this only made for a faster ride! The price was excellent, and the shipping was fast too!

If you are intending on buying these and fitting them with Cane Creek's TT brake levers, as a couple other reviewers have mentioned, they will NOT fit. This in mind, I went ahead and bought them both anyway, and surprise surprise, they did not fit. HOWEVER, it is surprisingly easy to get them to just the right size. I spent two minutes filing the anodization off of the inner part of the bar end, and then sanded off all the black paint on the part of the brake lever that slides into the bar. A few minutes and a little wiggling later, it fit perfectly (a sheet of 180 grit sandpaper cost me $0.75 and any hardware store will have it). One star less for the bars because the internal diameter is slightly smaller than advertised which was quite disappointing initially, but four stars because other than that these are great value bars that feel very solid and look great.

Got this bar as I needed one that could take the Tektro RX 5.0 Carbon Reverse Levers. It's a quality bar. But know that this will not fit into a 25.4mm stem clamp. I had to get a new stem that was precisely a 26mm clamp. With that, it works like a charm. Oh, and as you can see from the photos, my SA shifter would not fit this bar, so I had to get an extender mount to put the shifter on (threw my light out there too). Didn't want to at first, but now I dig it. Really frees up the entire bar for my hands.

Exactly what I needed for my single speed commuter bike. Super light weight and very durable. They give me that extra leverage when climbing the steeper hills in my area and came in the 31.8 sizing I needed for my stem.

I installed this pursuit handlebar on a newly custom-built 'experimental' steel fixed gear frame, running it as a single-speed with Tektro RX 4.1 and taped with Supacaz kush tapes. I've since cold-storaged my alu Monstercross to ride this every time. The only drawback for me is there less than sufficient markings on the handlebar to center it to your stem, but one can easily make it work with a measuring tape.
