Ergo Yep, they do look strange - but I bet your elbows are not laughing writhing in pain with golfers & tennis elbow. Bars that are too wide and straight will put extra torque on your elbows and shoulders. The 311 series is a little bit more of a lighter weight version of the 3Ox but in 16º sweep only. It's recommended for XC, Trail and touring. You get all the comfortable ergonomics that make the SQlab bars different and one of the better options if you putting in lots of miles. The 311 is a little bit narrower at 740mm and only comes in a 16º backsweep - which is ideal for marathon/cross country. The 311 have a +10mm stretch (forward offset from the stem centreline) which works when you have an aggressive 16º backsweep without having to change to a longer stem to adjust for the rear sweep. It also has 10mm of flex that takes the edge off harsh trails and rough roads. Try a pushup with your shoulders externally rotated (fingers faced inwards) now try a pushup with your shoulder rotated internally (fingers faced outwards) - feel those lats firing? That's the magic to getting the load of your stabiliser muscles and getting the larger muscle groups working. 16º back sweep 2.5º up sweep 10mm Flex 25mm or 50mm rise 320g 740mm width - can be cut to 700mm Stem clamp 31.8mm
