3T ERGOTERRA (Team)

ERGOTERRA is a wide drop bar for cyclocross, with flared drops for elbow clearance on rough ground, and a reinforced central section for crosstop brakes. It has the same compact drop and reach as the well-liked ERGOSUM road bar, tailored to provide more control over technical terrain. Viewed from above, the drops angle outwards by 6°. This means the 45-cm model is 42 cm at the hoods (47-cm model, 44 cm). Compound-curved bends preserve the vertical alignment of brake/shifter levers at their mounting point, so the transmission manufacturer’s designed ergonomics are not compromised despite the outward flare of the drops. The bar’s center section of Ø 31.8 mm is extended and reinforced to mount crosstop brake levers. Over rough ground that jostles the rider’s handhold, ERGOTERRA offers more lateral clearance for the forearms, which should also help with run-ups.
