Is this handlebar compatible with a 2024 Megamo Pulse? Are all the cables internal? Thanks

Answer of Dimitris

The handlebar is compatible with 1/1-8 fork and has the capability for totally internal(provided that your fork allows it) but also partially with the cables being exposed below the handles.

Answer of Michael Joel

What you need to know is that this handlebar has a CLAMP Diameter of 28.6mm, that is, a Stem Mounting: 1-1/8. If so, then it may be useful for you, since it was an important measurement that I looked for for compatibility with my fork tube. You can also find more specifications on the manufacturer´s website. Regards.

The cables are internal and come out just before the headset!
