Collective Reward #089: Redshift Handlebars, Grips, and Bar Tape

Our 89th Collective Reward gear giveaway comes courtesy of Redshift Sports, who’ll be setting up one randomly selected Bikepacking Collective member with a do-everything cockpit that they say redefines drop-bar comfort. The full package includes a pair of 47cm Kitchen Sink Handlebars with loop, Cruise Control Drop and Top Grips, and a roll of Really Long Bar Tape. That’s a $225 value for our lucky winner.

Redshift Kitchen Sink Handlebars

Available in 44 to 50cm widths and with or without the loop, the Redshift Kitchen Sink Handlebars are the brand’s interpretation of the ultimate gravel handlebar. They threw in a bit of everything for maximum comfort, designing the bars with a 20mm rise to reduce pressure on the hands, a 7° sweep for optimal positioning on the flats, hoods, or drops, and 25° flare for a stable, comfortable, and aerodynamic lower position. The optional endurance loop offers an additional aero riding position and space for storing gear or mounting lights and accessories. All sizes have a 31.8mm clamp and are constructed from 6061 T6 Aluminum. The retail price is $129.99 with the loop or $99.99 without. View details at RedshiftSports.com.

Redshift Cruise Control Grips

Taking comfort to the next level, Redshift’s Cruise Control Grips provide ergonomic shaping to reduce pressure zones, minimize road buzz, and add control when compared to traditional round bars. Together, the Top Grips and Drop Grips can transform the ergonomic experience of almost any drop bar on the market. The Drop and Top grips are sold as a set for $54.99 or individually for $29.99/pair. View details at RedshiftSports.com.

Redshift Really Long Bar Tape

Rounding things out, the Redshift Really Long Bar Tape provides generous coverage for today’s ever-longer drop bars. Standard tape measures around 200cm long, but the Really Long Bar Tape, true to its name, measures in at 315cm long, more than enough to cover even the widest bars on the market with room to spare. It’s 3mm thick and features anti-vibration padding and a durable compound that maintains grip even when wet. It’s available in black or grey and retails for $39.99.
