Overview

After 2020 Criterium devices will only be available in the pivoting models with two options for Durometer/Hardness: Criterium Pivot 70 or 85 and Criterium Pivot Short 70 or 85

Criterium Pivot – Full size model 4 inches in length

Criterium Pivot Short – 2.9 inches in length

The Criterium Pivot Short can be used by children tri-cycling & bicycling as young as 3 yo and by adults who may need a shorter device, than the standard Criterium Pivot.

Durometer/Hardness of the 70 model is softer, more flexible and forgiving than the 85 model. The 70 is suggested for beginners and easy street riding while the 85 for more rigorous challenging rides. Criterium are not recommended for aggressive or competitive mountain bike riding. Handlebars can be taped with various materials to change the friction and force required to engage and disengage the Criteriums. All models fit right or left and equipped with a standard stainless steel, threaded, coupler. Offset centerline duplicates normal palm grasping position for improved biomechanics.

*Release loads were measured using one inch diameter smooth, bare metal handlebars without any tape covering. The load applied was a straight pulling force. No torque was applied. Tape, foam or fabric coverings will increase the amount of force and torque required to push on and pull off the Criterium bicycle accessory.

*Regular white medical or athletic type adhesive tape will increase the effort required to pull the Criterium off the handlebars by as much as 60-90%.

*Standard cork, vinyl or foam backed bicycle handlebar wrap increases the bar diameter significantly! The result is that it will take approximately 30% more effort to pull the Criterium from the handlebars than when using smooth, bare handlebars.
