PRESS RELEASE: 77designzMaybe you already heard of the collaboration between We Are One Composites and 77designz. We joined our forces to design and manufacture the lightest (DH level tested) enduro cockpit that you can buy. We wanted a 35mm carbon handlebar that is not over stiff, so you don´t get tired and your arms remain fresh even on long runs. To achieve that we use an aluminum sleeve which also protects the carbon from constriction and makes the handlebar easy to mount with our 1 piece stem. We Are One has enriched the handlebar with the small retention nipple which holds the aluminum ring in position. A patent has been filed for this idea. We are One Composites from Kamloops / BC in Canada is the manufacturer of our handlebars and distributes a conceptually identical cockpit in North America. In the video below we walk you through the product and its benefits and also gives you some insights into the testing and development process.

Cool that they make up all their own tooling in house on the HAAS VMC
