Ready to ride far but can't get comfortable on your mountain bars? Want to maintain control over your bike with wider bars in technical sections but still be able to have an alternate aero position for longer gravel and tarmac stretches and not change the geometry of your bike's cockpit?

Used by elite and amateur bikepackers, racers and endurance athletes the world over, the Fred Bar is designed to relieve pressure on the most stressed parts of a rider's back and core and allow for an alternate position on the bike without compromising overall bike fit.

Need to know how it performs in the real world?  Well, we're pretty certain that at this point it's the most common piece of kit to traverse the Tour Divide and has been part of multiple winner's setup, so we must be onto something, right?

Will the Fred Bar fit on my bike?

The Fred Bar needs 15mm of vertical rise on the steerer tube to fit based on the height of The Fred Bar’s clamp. If you cut your steerer tube shorter than that, sorry! It won’t fit.

The Fred Bar is designed to fit around a steerer tube of 1.125 inches (1 and ⅛ of an inch) diameter. This is the standard steerer tube diameter size. Most bikes have a steerer tube with this diameter.

If your bike meets these requirements, The Fred Bar almost always fits. If you buy The Fred Bar and it doesn’t fit, send it back in as new condition for a full refund.
