Perhaps the most beautiful handlebars in the world

Extremely exclusive handlebars that also integrate the stem come from Barcelona. The Pollux, Kästor and Pröpus series not only offer lightweight construction above the head tube, but also a unique look. However, a rather deep reach into the wallet is a prerequisite.

The manufacturer Gemini from Barcelona builds system-integrated handlebar/stem units from carbon. With the Pollux, the Spaniards are building a handlebar center for the Double Crown clientele, which presumably puts the carbon crown on the downhill bolides. The carbon unit is available from 255 grams and in lengths - or "bar offset" - of 20, 30, 40 and 50 millimetres, with a width of a whopping 810 millimetres, which can be shortened.

For enduro use, Gemini builds the handlebar/stem unit called Kästor. Its weight starts at 235 grams, the lengths are 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 millimetres, the width is also a whopping 810 millimetres, which can be shortened. The pretensioning of the headset is particularly simple, as the top cap is elegantly integrated into the stem.

The Pröpus unit for the cross country bike is precisely aligned. Starting at 149 grams, this handlebar and stem assembly should make the eyes of all lightweight construction fans light up. To ensure that not only the display on the scales but also the ergonomics are right, Gemini supplies lengths of 50, 60, 70 and 80 millimetres, while the handlebar length can be shortened to 740 millimetres. While Pollux and Kästor have a rise of 20 millimetres, the Pröpus has a 12 millimetre offset downwards. The engineers have again paid particular attention to the integration of the top cap.

However, Gemini's beautiful products have one noticeable "disadvantage", at least in monetary terms: if you want to screw the chic steering center onto the steerer tube, you will have to shell out around 550 - 650 euros.
