What are the benefits of ape handlebars
I was just wondering what the benefits of having apes is. Is it comfort, is it looks, both? I'm not sure if I would benefit from them, how would I know?
For me, it's primarily comfort, then looks. When you're driving your car, you aren't reaching down to the steering wheel, you've got your hands out in front of your chest. I like to sit up, stretch out, and have my hands out in front of me.
