All sizes of the Skat Endurance Handlebar are UCI legal until the 1st of January 2027.

The Skat Endurance Handlebar is the apex of user-centered design, specifically for endurance track cyclists. The Skat Endurance Handlebar emerges as a ground-breaking accessory for the Olympic-level track cyclist after 24 months of collaborative research and development with elite endurance athletes and national federations.

Crafted for Elite Performance

Manufactured using the industry-renowned Japanese Toray Carbon Fiber, the Skat Endurance Handlebar promises a great balance between stiffness and lightweight performance. Its modular design allows elite athletes and teams to collaborate closely with us, ensuring a handlebar configuration tailor-made for peak performance.

The patent pending design proudly stands at the forefront of track cycling innovation, the Skat is meticulously designed, boasting the following features:

  • 4x bar widths
  • Modular grip hoods
  • Highly ergonomic drop design fostering multiple grip positions
  • Balance between aero optimisation and modularisation
  • Wrist clearances for standing efforts 
  • Wind tunnel validated during the R&D process 
  • Integrated bar end aero
  • Bears the New Zealand FernMark

Ergonomics

The Skat Endurance Handlebar is an evolution from the Tokyo Bunch Bar released in 2019. Skat is available in four different widths: 275mm, 300mm, 325mm, and 350mm, to suit diverse needs and preferences.

Drop Shape: The Skat Endurance Handlebar maintains a familiar drop shape and profile to the well esteemed Bunch Bars that provide great hand positions through the curvature of the drop profile. A slightly more vertical drop ensures the athletes can maximise their bike fit reach out to the 100mm UCI limit.

Increased Reach: An generous reach provides great flexibility for various bike fits while increasing forearm support while riding in the hoods.  

Wrist Clearance: Tactically positioned wrist clearances minimises intersection with the riders wrists while riding out of the saddle.

Asymmetric design: A subtle asymmetric madison sling thumb grip provides comfort and support to hurl your partner into the race with strength and control. 

The Grips

Our patent-pending interchangeable hood grips, a testament to modularity and adaptability, allow for unmatched customisation specific to the users needs.

The modular grip design offers aerodynamic positioning. Reviewers note it's "worth the price" despite being expensive. Minor concern: UCI banned narrower versions.

Absolute beast of a handlebar

A bit sad that i wont be able to use it after 2026 but blessed to race with it now. Both comfortable in the drops and the hoods, even after a 110 laps of a madison or derny its still just as comfortable to be incredibly aero. Aesthetics are on point, the attention to detail is amazing and for me all of the grips are comfortable but the D grips are the most aerodynamic for me personally . Only low point is the UCI banning its narrower sisters.

Juste parfait

Un très beau cintre, finition parfaite, et en plus qui répond aux normes UCI 2027. Dès sa première sortie, il m a permis de prendre la première place de la coupe de Normandie. Vivement les championnats de France de l avenir

Aero & Comfort Combined

Surprised about the difference some of the VELOBIKE innovations really make … The Skat Endurance handlebar is definitely one of them. Combined with some VELOBIKE rubber tape it provides additional grip and keeps you safe and comfortable. Super happy with my choice!!!

Feels so good!

I actually have three different grips and these are by far my favorites! They pitch your hands into a very comfortable position and keep me aero as I punch out the watts. They are a bit more comfortable and feel so solid in my hands.

Amazing

I was on the fence, owing to expense (I am miles from elite, like cannot even see elite from where I am). However, I wanted to go super narrow and love (love love) the modular design. Started with grip C and they are fantastic to add a solid alternative grip. There are already imitators, but none nail the inventor's ergonomics and quality. Besides, it's our duty to support NZ innovation! Another win for Glenn at the Team at VB - keep it up!

Won a sprint on the hoods!

My first event in these bars was a points race. I jumped in the back straight on an open air track into the wind and went into the aero position and kept the lead to take the 5 points.

300mm is the perfect size!! I was questioning going narrow but I am happy with the 300 and these are the best track bars in the market

Stiff and fast

Does exactly what it says on the box.
I went with grip D which allows a fairly aero position but with a comfortable perch. The Aero bunch bars make me look fast, pity about the engine!

Perfection for me

I’ve first bought the Grip D but noticed arm and hand pain, not for me. I’ve bought both A and B for my husband and I and it changed everything for both of us! The comfort, grip,the aero. Very pleased with the purchase!

Grip C

Grip C looked like the best compromise between a relaxed hoods position and an aggresive aero position for attacks. Now after having used them a few times, I think I made a good choice.

Innovative, unique and pricey

For anyone looking for no-compromise racing bars, these are great. As a Masters rider who mainly does endurance events but occasional sprints as well these bars make it easier than anything else I've tried to get into an aero position for attacks while also allowing a more relaxed hoods position when riding in the pack

Perfect bars?

Skat 300mm with D-grips. Drops are absolutely fantastic! Perfect flare shape, just felt good from the 1st minute of riding. Going all out on hoods, head down, feels very safe, stable and extremely fast! Steep price but worth it for what you get!
