Drop bar fixie.
Drop bars provide your single speed bike or fixed gear bike with a true track bike look.
Drop handlebars without hooded brake levers can be a bit uncomfortable for longer rides so are best suited for sprinting in the velodrome or short commutes.
Drop applies mostly to drop track handlebars and refers to the distance from the stem to the centre of the lowest point of the bars where they curve down.
Most handlebars are made from steel or aluminum alloy but the pricier bars are made of carbon.
However they often struggle to handle tight turns and the struggle on rough trails.

There are a few types of fixie brake sets including coaster brakes fixie bullhorn brakes and fixie drop bar brakes but overall we recommend getting some calipers or v brakes.
Some fixie handlebars like bullhorns provide multiple levels of reach where you can grab on.
You will find these typical drop bars on bikes such as the state bicycle co black label range.
