Singletracks has posted a review article on Thomson’s new titanium handlebar. These bars are part of Thomson’s latest product venture branching out from the seatposts and stems that we all love. They’ll be offering handlebars in titanium like this review, aluminum, and carbon.
Update: It is a bummer but Thomson is not making any of their handlebars in the United States.
You can read more about Thomson’s 2013 products in my previous trade show roundup.
“The upshot: they ride a little more comfortably than the carbon bars they replaced on my bike, especially on bigger hits, where they take the sting off. It’s a great compromise; they’re comfortable, but not so flexible that they give a vague steering feel or unpredictable handling.” – Singletracks
Our suggested online retailer for Thomson parts is Jenson USA
I have an e-mail from thomson none of the 3 bars they are selling are made in the U.S. nor will they be anytime soon if ever

Ok, thanks for the update. I’ll edit the article accordingly.
