The application of The Spine Concept™ to handlebar shape is the result of fi’zi:k’s research with riders of 3 UCI World Tour Teams that were riding fi’zi:k saddles. A correlation was found between the saddle shape each rider was using and the handlebar shape they were riding. Just as your choice of fi’zi:k Spine Concept™ saddle shape is guided by your degree of spinal flexibility and subsequent pelvic rotation, fi’zi:k offers this same concept to find your most comfortable handlebar shape. The Snake Handlebar If you are very spinally flexible (far less than 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Snake. You are better able to reach further and get down lower to use the full radius of more rounded, classic-style, deeper-drop handlebars. You will prefer the Snake Handlebar because it has a longer reach (85mm) and deeper, classic-style drop (140mm). The Chameleon Handlebar If you have an intermediate degree of spinal flexibility (approximately 90 degrees between your straight legs and your back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a chameleon. You are better able to reach further, but perhaps you can’t get down quite as low on the handlebar drops as a Snake would be able to. You will prefer the Chameleon Handlebar because it has a longer reach (85mm) but a shallower, more ergonomic-style drop (135mm). The Bull Handlebar If you have a relatively low degree of spinal flexibility (more than 90 degrees between your straight legs and back when bending over as far as you can, keeping your legs straight a shoulders’ width apart), you are a Bull. You will not be able to reach as far or bend as low as a Snake or a Chameleon would be able to. You will prefer the Bull Handlebar because it has a shorter reach (80mm) and a shallower, more ergonomic-style handlebar drop (130mm).

This stem is designed to complement the Fizik Cyrano handlebars and seatposts. Review Please read the Wiggle review of the Fizik Cyrano R1 handlebar written by a member of staff.
If required, the seatpost can be run back to front so to allow the rider to be closer to the bars in triathlon or time trial events. Review Please read the Wiggle review of the Fizik Cyrano R1 handlebar written by a member of staff. As ridden at UCI World Tour level by AG2R Pro Cycling Team.
The rail-friendly saddle clamp design allows for even dispersal of the clamping load whilst offering extensive fore-aft adjustment. This is done by using a top part of the clamp that is shorter than the base. The saddle clamp has a flat top with no screws protruding. This means there is no danger of reducing saddle comfort derived from a dynamic saddle base that might otherwise be restricted from moving. The post can be used back to front, releasing the adjuster wheel all the way. This allows the rider to be closer to their bars in triathlon or time trials. The round shaft is slightly ovalised, using thicker material fore and aft, thinner to each side. This optimal material distribution increases strength whilst keeping weight to a minimum. All seat post clamp parts are heat-treated for 3 times the industry standard, making them particularly durable and corrosion-resistant.
The Fizik stem is designed to form the cockpit when fitted with the Cyrano handlebar and seatpost (available separately). It is made using a combination of Ergal aluminium and Anticorodal aluminium, so you can enjoy an excellent balance of strength and durability as you clock up the miles. Specifically developed for the demands of road cycling, this model ensures a secure hold between your road bike's steerer tube and handlebar. Anticordal is a 6061-series aluminium with a high strength-to-density ratio, this material has the highest level of stiffness. Anticordal also has good fatigue resistance, particularly important in cockpits. The Cyrano Stem R3 is available in a choice of two different lengths ranging from 100mm to 110mm (please choose the option from the menu to suit your bike). When combined with the correct choice of Cyrano handlebars, you can ensure a high-performance, long-lasting cockpit with the perfect fit.

Fizik's Cyrano is everything you could ever want from a seatpost: simple, light and easy to use. It's crafted from aluminium for a fantastic blend of low weight, stiffness and durability. And, it features an internally ovalized cross-section to save precious grams and boost power transfer, a long lower plate to better support the seat rails and a short upper one with an angle-adjuster wheel to make adjustment easy. It is also compatible with both round and oval seat rails.
Cyrano is fizik’s range of cockpit components, comprising handlebars, stems and seatposts. Handlebars are highly-stressed, safety-critical parts, making strength and fatigue resistance of paramount importance. Low weight is of course also a priority. Cyrano handlebars are available in three models, according to material specification, and in three shapes to fit different rider physiques. Each shape is carefully designed to give easy transitions between different riding positions – tops, hoods and drops. The range of nine fizik Cyrano handlebars models are each available in a choice of four widths, to ensure a perfect fit. The Cyrano R3 is made using Ergal aluminum; a 7075-series aluminum, with a high strength-to-density ratio that has the highest level of stiffness. Ergal also has good fatigue resistance, particularly important in handlebars. The Cyrano R3 Bull accommodate for the least flexible Bulls riders who require a slightly more upright riding position for maximum comfort and efficiency. This is produced by reducing the reach (80 mm) and introducing a still shallower drop (130 mm).

The Cyrano R3 Chameleon maintains a long reach (85 mm) but bring the drops (135 m) up to accommodate still mobile, but slightly less flexible, riders. The shape sits between the squarer Snake bars and the compact Bull bars.
