Size

All sizes of the Altias Sprint Handlebar are UCI legal until the 1st of January 2027.

Engineered Performance

Engineered for champions, the Altias Sprint Handlebar is specifically designed in collaboration with world class sprint track cyclists who demand nothing but the best. The Altias Sprint Handlebar brings validated wind-tunnel tested performance to the mass market.

Strength and stiffness don't come second to aerodynamics. The Altias Sprint Handlebar exceeds twice the ISO strength requirements, ensuring it can handle the demands of the world's top sprint cyclists. 

Built from the highest quality Japanese Toray Carbon Fiber, the Altias Sprint Handlebar is crafted with an unyielding commitment to optimise the balance between modularity and integration. The handlebars come in four different widths: 275mm, 300mm, 325mm, and 350mm, to suit diverse needs and preferences.

The Grip and Aero

A unique grip design works with the riders forearms for an aerodynamic advantage. A 7.93% aerodynamic efficiency gain is measured using with a rider using the Altias Sprint Handlebar over more traditional styled drop bars.

Various grip positions through the drop ensures rider comfort to maintain an aerodynamic position. The shallow and unique drop shape had gone through dozens of iterations during the development process using testing and generating feedback from many riders at the top level of the sport. The result is a comfortable grip while optimising airflow using trips to enhance the handlebar/rider system. 

Standing Starts

  • Ample wrist clearance for launching out of the start gate.
  • A 27mm grip diameter reduces grip strength requirements.

Relaxed Race Grip

  • The grip shape encourages a slightly bent elbow, dropping the riders torso; reducing frontal area.
  • Air trips around the riders hand direct airflow constructively around and away from their forearms.

Aero Tuck Race Grip

  • An aggressive grip position where the hand melds into the handlebar surface; closing up air gaps to reduce turbulence.
  • Air trips guide air around the athletes forearms for improved aerodynamic efficiency.
  • A subtle flair through the drop encourages an inward wrist rotation. Wrists are supported by the drop grip section of the handlebar.
  • The riders elbows maintain a tucked in position, reducing the rider from loosing form while fatiguing.

Optimisation and Modularisation

We have spent 24 months creating a system that is a fine balance between being highly modular, while maintaining the performance benefits of an integrated cockpit. As well as the Altias Sprint Handlebar being able to fit with any standard 31.8mm stem such as the Longboi Stem, the bar can also be fitted in a semi-integrated modular Altias system. Compatible Altias bars, stems and faceplates can be mixed and matched in a semi-integrated modular system specific to the athletes fit requirements.

While they are pictured here, note that the Velobike Altias Argon18 direct mount stem and Altias Handlebar Integrated Faceplates are sold separately.

Customers praised these track bars as "the best" for sprinting and aerodynamics. Reviewers highlighted exceptional stiffness, shallow drop design, and revolutionary hand positions that improve tucked aero positions. One noted "huge reduction in frontal area" and faster times. The only minor feedback was a suggestion for black bolts instead of silver.

매우 뛰어난 에어로 핸들바

지금까지 사용해본 핸들바 중에서 제일 단단하고 신뢰가 가는 형태입니다.
디자인도 멋지고 수많은 올림픽 프로들이 선택을 한 이유는 사용해보면 알수있습니다

Fastest Discs I've Ever Ridden

I recently replaced my Princeton TS discs with Altias discs. The substantial weight savings is immediately apparent, but where they really shine is at speed. Very stiff and very lenticular, these discs are so fast you can't help but notice the upgrade.

Just a note: running FMB gold clinchers and Revoloop Ultra tubes.

Best Sprint Bars

These bars are honestly the best bike parts upgrade I have made, I have very broad shoulders and have always struggled to get my elbows tucked with previous bars as my lats would restrict my range of movement, with these bars the wrist rotation is marginally different due to the angle of the flare and have been able to tuck my elbows in with ease, not only that but due to them also having a shallower drop I have been able to run a much lower stem stack setup while achieving the same body position on the bike which has majorly improved the look and the frontal cda of my bike and position

A beautiful set of bars that are sensational to ride and aesthetically pleasing to look at. The Velobike staff are great to deal with and their service is exceptional.
hopefully these bars will allow my son to beat his kiwi mate .

Best handle bars world has ever seen

... at least that is what I think. They are fast. With shallow drop and smart angles, I almost instantly felt "most comfortable" aero position I have ever experienced. Hence super fast. And thay happened to look astonishly beautiful. 💪

Incredible. Built into the bar are some subtle nudges to get you into the correct position. For one, the 5 degree vertical tilt of the drops lets me tuck my elbows in with much less effort than my previous bars with zero tilt. And secondly because the drop is so shallow the deep wing of the bar gives me tactile feedback along the top of my wrist to let me know that I've bent my elbows enough. Overall, huge reduction in frontal area as seen in the attached, dropping about 0.07s in my 200m.

unsurprisingly better for sprinting

much better than bunch bars for sprinting out of the saddle!

High quality, nicely made, feel great 🇦🇺

No surprises with these, very high quality, look superb but best of all are a great, low profile, stiff sprint and track bar, comfortable with different hand positions available even in the small space, highly recommended -Pete🇦🇺

Wish I’d bought them sooner…

I’ve never felt super comfortable on previous bars; haven’t been able to get in the position that works for me. My first standing starts on these bars felt incredible and aero tucked position felt even better. Glad I finally made the decision to buy them.

와우 최고!

정말 해외배송이 이렇게 빨리 도착할 수 있나요? 주문하고 300mm로 교환하고 싶었지만, 받아보니 너무 맘에 들고, 핸들바교체 후 속도가 엄청 좋아 졌습니다.
채팅도 엄청 빠른 속도로 대응해 주시고 정말 최고 였습니다.
너무 감동 받았어요 다음에 꼭 다시 구매 할 겁니다.

Amazing set up

Love these bars. Amazing how they set up depending on the effort or race. Love the shallow drop on the bar. Pairs really well with the Long Boi stem.

Super Stiff

Moved to these from the Velo Sprint bars. Surprised by the noticeable increase in stiffness. Really like the shallow drop and hand positions. Comfortable, stiff and aero.

Best handlebars ever

Nice, stiff & incredible aero. Only point to improve are the bolts, switch them to a black ones (instead of silver) and bars will be perfect.

Pricey but solid engineering and finish. The bars are stupid light but stiff. The flat section is better for relaxed riding that my 3T bars with an angled top.

Best sprint handlebar

Best handlebar and super comfortable. Super design. I’m not sure how aero it is because hadn't chance to test with Notio but it is fast, stiff and everything you need.

I love this bar

This is an awesome handlebar. First, it's gorgeus. Just stunning in appearance. I've progressively moved narrower over the years, going from 40-37-35 and now 33. The shape of the grips and tops makes perfect sense. This bar is incredibly stiff. I cannot seem to flex it at all, which is awesome. And the low drop of the grips is ideal for my needs, particularly as I get older and am less able to ride in a super tucked position.

Atlias Are the Best Bars

I have been racing on and off for almost 30 years. I have ridden Nitto, Deda, Cinelli, Scattos, Look sprint bars, and these are the best bars I have ever ridden on. The grip positions alone are revolutionary for me. Congratulations, Glenn and the entire Velobike Team!

Glad to hear you're loving the bars! We're pretty excited to see the fruits of the labour out on the track. Designing for rider position and enabling the athlete to remain a comfortable, aggressive, low and elbow tucked in form was the primary objective for the bars. Developing a product that is quick on its own means nothing if it makes the rider slower.

Atlias Sprint bars

Beautiful looking bars and ride as fast as they look. The time that has gone into the grips has changed my aero position riding style to be more locked in under high speed efforts and more sold under high torque efforts. Even felt more solid out of saddle, riding has become less twitchy. Definitely the best bars I have ever ridden, riding a PB a week after trying them.

Will the 325 and 350 remain legal for 2027?

Velobike

Hi Brad, Unfortunately the updated 2027 UCI equipment rules make all sizes of the Altias Sprint Handlebar no longer compliant. We have since released a successor to the bar that is UCI legal, and had multiple further advanced features for increased performance potential - The Vector Sprint Handlebar.
