    Default F3 handlebar B or C ?

    Hello
    now I try to write in english, becouse my last post in german was deleted here.
    Wy?
    In Spiderforum in Germany, we answer to english posts.

    OK, next try:

    Have anyone experiences with handlebars for F3 type B "long reach" or C "attitude" ?

    I´m 1,85m and have the footpegs at position 5.

    Best regards

    Thomas

    Hello
    what is the differenze?
    stearing smother or harder.
    response more direct or less?
    position of arms und hands more relaxable?
    For cruising better or for driving sportstyle?
    etc.
    Regards

    I am also 1,85m or, 6' US. I changed the bars on my F3S to the "B" long reach bars and find them a good fit for both cruising and sporting riding. The Long Reach bars give me a bit more of forward sitting position with less bend in my arms.

    Let's see how Google handles the transition: Ich bin auch 1,85 m oder 6 'US. Ich habe die Stangen an meinem F3S gegen die „B“-Lenker mit langer Reichweite ausgetauscht und finde, dass sie sowohl zum Cruisen als auch zum sportlichen Fahren gut geeignet sind. Die Long Reach-Lenker geben mir eine etwas mehr nach vorne gerichtete Sitzposition mit weniger Beugung in meinen Armen

    Hope this helps.

    Spouse and I both have F3'Ls. We are both about 5'5". Both have the Short reach bars. That means that they are longer for us short folks. We have our brake positions at 2. The F3's are the first bikes we owned that offered bar options without going Tri Axis.

    We had RT's with stock bars. No difference in handling but the reach for us is shorter and more comfortable.
