The Next Generation of Gravel Cycling Technology
With the K-Force AGX, made from lightweight full carbon, FSA presents its premium special handlebar for gravel use. Whether racing in difficult terrain or on multi-day bikepacking tours, the handlebar developed in collaboration with elite riders always offers a perfect balance of performance, control and comfort. In addition, the ergonomic design minimizes stress on hands and shoulders allowing hours of convenient riding.
While its flare of 25 degrees provides a wider grip that increases stability on descents and technical terrain, the resulting offset of 50 mm helps to improve handling on loose surfaces. The widening also benefits a more even distribution of the rider's weight, making steep or rough descents easier to tackle.
The dimensions for drop (100 mm) and reach (70 mm) have also been carefully adapted to the specific requirements of gravel sports to ensure sufficient flexibility in terms of riding position. The spectrum ranges from an aerodynamic to a more upright posture, which promises more maneuverability, especially on smoother surfaces.

ACR (Aerodynamic Cable Routing) | The innovative, patent-pending system hides all cables, cable housings, hoses and wires. As a fully integrated cable routing solution, it meets aerodynamic requirements at the same time. The concept also includes an in-house developed headset and compression plug, which ensure that the cables can be routed without a pre-formed steering column or a pre-drilled frame. Split headset spacers also make it possible to adjust the mounting height (stack height) without having to remove any cables. All these components were developed using CFD technology and have no negative impact on the cockpit or system weight.
