DESCRIPTION

Just when you think you have a TOP bike, you mount a Gemini Pröpus handlebar and discover that there was still a higher level.

Designed for maximum performance, every angle and shape has been optimized to enhance your ride:

Greater control on descents with total freedom of movement.
Precision upstream to transmit every watt without losses.
Ergonomic central design for improved aerodynamics and speed.

Handmade in our workshop, Pröpus is a work of art. Its exclusive design, its impeccable finishes and its construction with the best intermediate modulus carbon fiber make it the ultimate upgrade for your bike.

Lightweight, precise and designed to win.
The detail that will make your bike stand out… and make everyone look at it with envy.

UNIQUE DESIGN

A SPECIFIC UNIBODY DESIGN FOR CROSS COUNTRY BIKES

PRÖPUS is a handlebar developed for you to be able to climb faster, to provide you with comfort in the most broken areas and increase your control in the technical descents with maximum integration and a simple and neat aesthetic.

INTEGRATION DOWN TO THE LAST DETAIL

We have integrated the most visible part of the bike as much as possible, using our cap that, with its exclusive design, hides the upper bolt, leaving an orifice to insert only a Torx wrench to tighten it and, thus, providing a cleaner look to the cockpit.

NO ASSEMBLY STRESSES

By eliminating the joint between the stem and the handlebar, stresses caused by assembly preloads have been taken away, preventing the handlebar from being slippery, and also eliminating the areas subject to compressions that warp the handlebar and are conductive to the delamination of the fiber layers, decreasing resistance.

The continuity of the material between the stem and the handlebar eases stress distribution over a larger area, so that the stresses flow along the handlebar, eliminating high-stress areas and, thus, increasing its final resistance.

GMN SECTION

The circular cross sections perform equally in all directions, this is why we have developed the GMN section with two basic purposes: decreasing hand fatigue arising from vibrations and forces, and increasing reactivity and control when turning.

VERTICAL ABSORPTION

By reducing the vertical section we have achieved an increased absorption of vertical impacts and vibrations, this translates into less hand fatigue and being able to keep a high speed of descent.

TURNING REACTIONS

By enlarging the horizontal section we have managed to increase the rigidity of the handlebar against any force exerted by the pilot when turning, this translates into a more direct and reactive steering control.

100% HANDMADE IN BARCELONA

100% Handmade in our workshop in Cabrera de Mar, Barcelona
Yes, made in Barcelona. And when we say made, we mean it.
We do not produce in another country and then assemble here and say it is manufactured here.
We do not import manufactured parts to paint them and put the “Made in Spain” label on them, as 99% of the companies in the sector do.
We manufacture for real, layer by layer, because only in this way can we control every step of the process and guarantee that each piece meets the highest quality standards.
Producing in our own workshop allows us to constantly innovate and develop exclusive technologies that we only apply in our products and that no one else applies.
That’s why our products are unique and unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.

CARBON FIBER FINISH

The carbon finish only affects the final aesthetic layer of carbon fiber. Both the UD and 12K finishes pass the same strength tests and offer the same final weight. It is an aesthetic decision, catering to those who love the look of traditional woven carbon (12K) and those seeking a more elegant finish (UD)

LAYUP

Aware that users are more aware of their needs on their bikes nowadays, we have developed two versions of layup in the construction of our handlebars, using the best technology applied in both but with small differences so that you can get the most out of your handlebars.

LIGHTWEIGHT LAYUP CHARACTERISTICS

Ultra-light lamination, the world’s lightest carbon XC integrated handlebar, weighing as little as 149g.
Absolute comfort, providing absorption in the direction of the arms, making it more comfortable and helping to reduce fatigue.
Reactivity in turns, more than any other ultra-light round carbon MTB handlebar thanks to the development of the GMN section.
It is a 100% optimised piece, that means it is designed for XC use for a rider up to 90 kg.
Not designed to withstand the impacts of certain falls; it is an F1 piece for your bike.

PERFORMANCE LAYUP CHARACTERISTICS

More racing character, designed for a more aggressive use such as Downcountry or top-level competition.
Provides greater stiffness than the XC version, for those who prioritize explosiveness over comfort.
More torsional stiffness is the stiffness you feel when alternating the force of your arms on the handlebars, for example during a sprint.
More reactivity in handling, movements are sharper and more precise.
Greater resistance to falls, therefore, it is more resistant to falls than the XC lamination.
Increases approximately +30g*. Compared to XC version
Rider weight limit of up to 120 kg.

It transmits stiffness, adapts to the bike and feels very compact. Very good behavior. Very balanced between weight, stiffness and reliability.

Gemini has mastered the art of carbon fiber engineering. The Pröpus is the most competitive handlebar I could find, and has enhanced the fit and function of my mountain bike. I’ve pushed it far beyond the limits of XC riding and never been disappointed.

I’m flashed by the Pröpus handlebar. The composition of the design, lightweight, stiffness and haptics is truly amazing. I really like riding with it!
I’m truly amazed by your products

Wout Alleman

Well for me it’s a super nice addition to the bike. First of all it looks really good but most important, it is super light and really stiff. For me it is a must have on the bike and the best handlebar out there!
