Go PRO with upgrades for your MTB handlebars and seat posts

  • Drop ‘em! Entry-level dropper seat posts new for 2021
  • New stiffer e-MTB handlebars with wider 35mm clamping diameter

Once upon a time your new bike was probably the bees knees, the envy of your friends, the most-coveted in the parking lot. But we know your bank balance can’t take the hit of another new bike, so upgrading your components is the way to breathe some life back into your bike.

With that in mind, PRO’s new handlebars, seat posts and saddles will answer those upgrading desires to allow you to outperform once more, or at least to make sure you can still attract envious looks now and again.

Handlebars:

The new PRO Koryak E-Performance carbon or alloy handlebar (PRHA0574 / PRHA0573) feature strategically located ports which make it possible to internally wire the SHIMANO STEPS, or alternative control and head units and cables. This ensures a neat and cable free cockpit.

The Koryak E-Performance handlebars also ensure absolute control of your e-MTB even in the most challenging terrain. They feature an oversized 35 mm clamping area, riser handlebar design with a 20 mm rise, 11-degree back-sweep, 4-degree up-sweep, width of 800 mm, and a robust carbon or aluminium construction. When paired with a PRO Koryak E-Performance Stem, the handlebar’s oversized design matches the robust aesthetic of modern e-Mountain Bikes. Weight: 245g (carbon) or 285g (alloy)

Coming with 150 mm of infinite travel, the strong alloy construction of the PRO LT Dropper seatpost will have you outperforming in no time. Diameter options: 30.9 mm or 31.6 mm.

Saddles:

The PRO Stealth Off-road Sport Saddle (PRSA0368) brings a more affordable option to PRO’s highly regarded Stealth range.   Designed for gravel riders and mountain bikers, this short nose, anatomically cut design allows mountain bikers and gravel riders to get deep into the saddle when they need to grind out the power.

The aggressive, forward position on the saddle is easy on the sit bones thanks to a wide nose and an off-road specific PU padding. The Sport edition is the more affordable version of the popular PRO Stealth Off-road saddle, featuring Chrome-Moly rails and PU padding, rather than stainless-steel and lightweight EVA padding. Compatible with PRO saddle accessories.
