The new Gemini ALZIR handlebar is a work of art

After becoming one of the fashion brands for those looking to add a touch of exclusivity to their mountain bikes with their handlebars and carbon plates, now the Barcelona-based company Gemini is launching to repeat success among road cyclists with the creation of the incredible integrated handlebar ALZIR that will undoubtedly not leave anyone indifferent.

Exclusivity Made in Spain in the new Gemini ALZIR handlebar

When it comes to assembling a top bike, and above all, a different one, there are many brands that offer artisan components of excellent craftsmanship and quality. Among these brands, we must include the Barcelona-based Gemini, which now seeks to replicate the success achieved with their carbon handlebars and plates for mountain bikes with the launch of their road integrated Gemini.

A completely top handlebar with a spectacular design and a huge amount of engineering work behind it in which Gemini also offers full customization options to achieve a truly unique model.

Starting with the aerodynamic design after countless hours of analysis with CFD software in order to achieve a profile that offers the least wind resistance. However, beyond the shape of the handlebar, this component plays an essential role in aerodynamics in terms of the cyclist's position so that it is designed to make it easier for the cyclist to adopt an aggressive position without sacrificing comfort.

To achieve this, Gemini has paid attention to designing this ALZIR with small details that are often overlooked, such as the design of the descending horizontal part to adapt to the most natural hand position when using this area while climbing a mountain pass; or the generous support area in the climbers' zone to minimize pressure on the medial nerve, a common cause of hand numbness and, in extreme cases, a trigger for the well-known carpal tunnel syndrome. The design of the curve is also not left to chance, as its compact design prevents our forearms from hitting the top part when we grip the bottom.

In addition, Gemini offers a wide variety of geometries and dimensions for this handlebar, making it practically impossible not to find the one that best suits our characteristics and intended use for the bike.

A handlebar ALZIR that Gemini constructs in a single piece, which, in addition to improving its strength, represents a significant weight saving, stopping the scale, in its lightest configuration, at just 220 g. A configuration that depends on the chosen laminate between the two available, the Lightweight for those looking for the lightest assembly but with a weight limit of rider+bike of 90 kg and the Performance laminate that raises that limit to 130 kg in exchange for prioritizing its rigidity for maximum performance.

A craftsmanship piece like this Gemini ALZIR handlebar could not overlook the aspect of integration, so the brand offers headset caps to create a perfect transition between the steerer tube of our bike and the handlebar for some of the most elite models on the market such as the Specialized Tarmac SL8, Pinarello Dogma, Orbea Orca, Factor Ostro VAM, or Aurum models.

In any case, if our bike is different, the brand itself will create a headset cap so that our bike model maintains full integration. And if our bike does not have completely internal wiring through the steerer tube, it is also not a problem since Gemini manufactures a version of this ALZIR with cable routing under the stem.

A tremendously careful work that is completed with the possibility of using their Custom Lab service to provide a personalized design to the surface of the handlebar to create an unparalleled handlebar that, surely, we will soon start to see in the most exquisite assemblies of the best bikes on the market. By the way, a handlebar that, with all the technology and exclusivity it contains, also has a price in line with these parameters and, unfortunately for our wallet, if we want it to become part of our bike, we will have to pay a starting price of €1,250 for its most economical version.
