 The cockpit: comfortable ergobars for the under seat steering. Your hands, wrists and neck can relax. The direct connection to the front wheel allows for precise steering. The standard handlebars are 60 cm wirde and their ends are slightly bent forward. As an option, you can order your bike with extra wide (65 cm) handlebars with straight ends. The extra wide handle bars allow for a tighter turning circle, however, the wide arm position slightly increases the aerodynamic drag on your bike. If you choose to order your Street Machine Gte with our ErgoMesh seat, we will always mount the extra wide handlebars.
