Italian cycling component manufacturer Columbus has expanded its carbon component range with three new integrated handlebars and three new carbon forks designed for road, all-road and gravel riding.

The new products mark Columbus’ first entry into fully integrated handlebar and stem systems. The range includes the Spirit Racing, an aerodynamic and lightweight cockpit designed for road riding; the Futura, developed for all-road use with super-compact geometry and a wide flare; and the Cento, designed specifically for gravel riding.

The new cockpits complement Columbus’ existing Trittico road handlebar and stem range, giving the company a broader selection of front-end solutions across different riding disciplines.

Columbus has also introduced two new gravel forks. The Futura Fast Gravel is designed for gravel racing, combining race-oriented performance with ride feel, while the Futura Divide is aimed at more adventurous riding and accommodates 29-inch wheels with tires up to 2.3 inches wide.

For riders looking beyond paved roads, the new Trefoil Allroad fork joins the existing Trefoil Road model, offering greater versatility and tire choice for mixed-surface riding.

Columbus Chairman Victor Luis said the new component range continues the company’s focus on materials, engineering, performance, durability and handling. He described the introduction of fully integrated cockpits as a natural evolution of the company’s component portfolio, bringing greater precision and integration to the front end.

Columbus has also updated its Futura Adventure fork with a revised design that increases tire clearance for the emerging 32-inch mountain bike wheel standard. According to Columbus, this makes the Futura Adventure the only fork in its range compatible with the new standard, with the increased clearance intended to improve stability, traction and rollover capability on rough terrain.

The latest additions further expand Columbus’ carbon component offering across road, all-road, gravel and adventure riding.
