Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle accessories technology, specifically to an integrated lightweight handlebar and bicycle. Background Technology

[0002] The drop handlebars allow riders to grip the handlebars in multiple different positions, facilitating changes in riding posture and aiding in long-distance riding. At the same time, the drop handlebars also cause the rider to lean forward, which can increase riding speed.

[0003] Currently, most road bike handlebars use round tubes. Ordinary round tube handlebars have a simple and strong structure, but they have a large frontal area. Also, if a cable-driven hydraulic converter is installed, it must be installed externally, which is not aesthetically pleasing and also increases wind resistance. Therefore, aerodynamic handlebars with a smaller frontal area and lower wind resistance are gradually gaining popularity. However, to ensure the structural stability of aerodynamic handlebars, it is usually necessary to increase the width in the frontal direction and the thickness of the tube wall to ensure structural stability, which further increases the weight. Moreover, ordinary aerodynamic handlebars cannot effectively conceal the installation of the cable-driven hydraulic converter, and the cable and hydraulic hose routing paths are inevitably exposed, creating safety hazards and further reducing aesthetics.

[0004] Therefore, we have proposed an integrated lightweight handlebar and bicycle. Utility Model Content

[0018] In a second aspect, the application provides a bicycle, which includes a frame, and the frame has a handle tube, and the handle tube is provided with the integrated lightweight handle of the first aspect.

[0019] Compared with the related art, the integrated lightweight handle and the bicycle provided by the application have at least the following technical effects:
