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

The Gemini handlebar are super nice. I find them both comfortable and reassuring which allows me to have confidence and to engage more in the technical parts. In addition, they are easy to handle.

Aesthetically brutal handlebar, being integrated you transmit the force very well and getting a great weight.

It is obvious that an incredible amount of time and precision has been put into refining the PROPUS handlebars. The reactive steering control, durability, and stiffness gives me a lot more confidence when navigating the World Cup courses.

Since I started using the Wassat with you, I found the stiffness amazing, thinking that it was difficult to improve, but now that I’m used to the Propus, I don’t want anything else. And I’ve been surprised by some falls I’ve had on asphalt, with the Propus, which despite having slid quite a lot on the tar, held up super well. Filing, new cap and running again!

Last year I took the Gemini Wassat and the truth is that it goes great, is very very light and very comfortable, behaves very well and well this year I take the Gemini Pröpus, and what to say about this handlebar, I think it is more than proven that it is the best on the market, it is amazing its rigidity and firmness, I have not much time with him but I’m very much surprised a lot for good😁👍🏽😉

I don’t consider myself a material weight freak, I look for more reliability and stiffness and logically the PROPUS meets all these characteristics and it is also super light. Another detail to add is that it dresses the bike very well and in custom looks amazing.

In my case I am very happy with the Gemini products that I have been testing in training and competitions. Both the Gemini Wässat handlebar with which I have competed in all xco 2024 World Cups and the integrated Pröpus handlebar and stem, provide great performance, reliability, beautiful aesthetics and above all a very light weight and at the same time a great stiffness. In the end, all of this translates into greater comfort and reactivity on the bike.

The feeling of control is unique.

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.

Oscar Pujol

Ex-professional cyclist

I was lucky enough to meet Gemini in a “garage” where they explained the history of Gemini and how it started.
Gemini is the icing on the cake for any bike, lightening it up and giving another Flow to the ride. Plus that little aesthetic touch such as the chainrings.
Big fan for years.

The Pröpus gives me absolute precision and absorbs small vibrations from the ground, which on very long mtb days makes my arms less punished.

For me working together with Gemini is so easy. Their mission is to make the best products and my mission is to ride the best results. It goes hand in hand. As I do every detail of my training plan, they make sure that every detail of their product is right. We both work hard for the love of sport and just want to be the best in what we do. With this passion and the feedback from the field it’s hard to find better products.

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!

This handlebar is a game-changer! Incredibly lightweight and super stiff. It feels solid even on tough descents, while its ergonomic design ensures comfort on long rides. Perfect for riders seeking top performance without compromise. Highly recommended 🙂

I love the feel of the cockpit on the trials. It’s stiff when sprinting and makes the steering feel direct and precise, but still remains compliant and absorbs vibrations nicely. Oh and it’s hard to fault the looks. 🙂 I love starring at it when I ride, it looks so clean and nice!

I love my Pröpus really much! It is light, comfortable and the stiffness gives me confidence when riding and racing my bike! And a big plus point, the handlebars also look clean and really good. I can hardly wait to find my limit with the handlebars in the World Cup and to grow beyond it ⚡️

The handlebar is super light and had impressive stiffness and comfort. Personally I quite enjoyed the 7deg backsweep as I find 9deg too much and 5deg sometimes too little.

I tried Gemini products for the first time and was surprised at how beautiful, yet functional, they are! For us, who run long distance races, it is very important that the products are lightweight but also reliable. Gemini manages to deliver all of this. In particular, the handlebars provide an excellent feeling of stiffness and vibration damping. really great!

I love your products. They are the best looking in the market. The handelbar is stylish, light and stiff. Gves good confidence and precise handling in the forest. Also great for sprinting. The chainring is light and looks very vey good as well. As I heard also durable, this I am testing now.

Super! At last it is what we look for when you want maximum performance, which is lightness and reliability, and if it is combined with good aesthetics, as is the case, all the better. 😍

In our team we use GEMINI materials, it is BRUTAL to be able to carry this type of material, it gives us an incredible contribution of stiffness + lightness + aesthetics, it is a part of the bike that I had always liked to carry and now that the time has come I am enjoying it very much.
