Because of their intended market, the Condor bars werenвЂ™t designed with large hands and wide shoulders in mind. These aluminum drop bars were originally designed for the Japanese market, but Soma decided to try their luck in the States and see if this unique design would fly. Rotating the bars forward and back can emphasize or deemphasize certain characteristics depending on the wants and needs of the individual using them. With the rise, backsweep, upsweep, and shallow flared drops, it offers hand positions galore and is ideally suited for long days in the saddle. It has more curves than you can imagine вЂ“ in fact, thereвЂ™s no part of this bar that isnвЂ™t bending in some way. The Condor is dubbed as an вЂњambitious alternative drop bar,вЂќ a statement that I can certainly agree with. Why? Because they do look pretty ridiculous.Д«ut all giggles aside, these bars do have a purpose aside from looking funny, and thatвЂ™s to provide an alternative bar option for people who want the benefits of drops but have fit issues or never liked traditional offerings.

The Condor-II will remain a comfortable carry no matter how much gear you decide to pack or attach, because it's ergonomically designed with padded, curvaceous backpack straps, sternum support, and soft, breathable back padding. Its load bearing capability can be expanded greatly by using TacTieВ® Attachment Straps to interact with a variety of Maxpedition external pouches, pockets, and accessories.
