FSA NS Adventure
Off-Road Control. All-Day Ergonomics.
The hallmark of the FSA NS Adventure Handlebar is its 12° outward flare. By widening the drops relative to the hoods, FSA gives you a broader leverage base for high-speed descending, loose gravel cornering, and singletrack maneuvering. The tops feature an oversized round tubing section that provides a comfortable handhold when grinding up steep fire roads, while keeping plenty of real estate available for GPS mounts, lights, and handlebar bags.
Why the FSA NS Adventure is a Bikepacking & Gravel Essential:
-
12° Outward Flare: Opens up your stance in the drops for vastly improved bike handling, extra steering stability, and clearance for wide handlebar bags.
-
Ergonomic Compact Drop Profile: Features an accessible 125mm drop and a tight 80mm reach, making it quick and comfortable to transition between the hoods and drops without straining your lower back.
-
Double-Butted 6061 Aluminum Construction: Delivers exceptional structural strength and crash resistance while soaking up high-frequency trail chatter.
-
Ample Cockpit Mounting Space: The 31.8mm clamping area extends far enough on either side of the stem to easily accommodate out-front computer mounts, front light brackets, and strap-on bikepacking gear.
-
Clean Cable Management: Compatible with both traditional mechanical housing and modern Di2 electronic routing for a tidy front end.

The Alegro Perspective: The NS Adventure is our go-to handlebar recommendation for riders converting an all-road bike to gravel or setting up an endurance bikepacking rig. Excessive flare on some gravel bars can make brake levers sit at an awkward angle, but FSA nailed the sweet spot with this 12-degree design. You get all the wrist clearance and control you need in the drops, while the hoods remain perfectly vertical for natural, comfortable hand positioning on long century rides.
