Designed in Melbourne Australia
Walmer Bars are designed to service the rigours and demands of rugged gravel and off-road bikepacking. No handlebar on the market was the right width or shape, so we decided to create our own.
Bikepacking Heaven
Walmer Bars bring the stability and control of MTB bars combined with the multiple hand positions of drop bars. The extra width also offers more storage space for bar mounted bags, lights, navigation etc.
** We at BarYak.com recommend for long distance Ultras or Bikepackers who spend long days in the saddle to triple wrap their top bar and double wrap your drop. The easiest way to do this is after you have one layer of bar tape go back with thick foam tape, (add this to your upper bar above the hoods ) and then do a final wrap over your entire bar. This provides lots of vibration dampening cushion.
Why Wide Drop Bars?
The ability to change hand position regularly prevents pressure and tension build up, and helps minimise numbness and blisters. A wider handlebar also offers more stability and control, particularly when descending sketchy terrain on a loaded bike. It also gives added leverage when tackling technical climbs.
What’s with the Name?
Breathe in! Named after a narrow pedestrian/cycle bridge on the Yarra River in Melbourne. There's little room for anything else if Walmer Bars are crossing.

Specs
Influenced by MTB bar design, we've integrated 7° of sweep to the flat section. This shortens the reach to your hoods to counteract the wide grip.
