HB09 is an integrated aluminum handlebar that is 20–30% lighter than welded handlebars with comparable specifications, while offering a vibration-damping performance closer to that of carbon fiber handlebars. With current integrated handlebar manufacturing technology, this product fully eliminates the visual drawbacks and quality concerns associated with welded handlebars. At the same time, it achieves a weight advantage that forged handlebars cannot reach, while maintaining a cost of approximately 50% of comparable carbon fiber handlebars.

JURY STATEMENT

The HB09 integrated handlebar and stem is an excellent example of how advances in manufacturing technology can deliver tangible benefits in both performance and sustainability. Compared to welded aluminum solutions, it offers reduced weight and improved aesthetics, while also achieving a lower carbon footprint and cost than carbon fiber handlebar–stem combinations. This makes it a well-balanced and forward-looking design solution.
