Sculpture Intergration Guide

Ensure your bike is compatible with the Sculpture Handlebar system and discover how to integrate it seamlessly.

Image

The Polymer Workshop® Sculpture Handlebar is a high-performance, one-piece integrated handlebar designed for a seamless fit on a range of gravel and road bikes. However, checking compatibility with your frame is essential before making the switch. This page it to help navigate compatibility and guide you towards the best solution.

Compatibility Check-List

To be able to install the Sculpture Handlebar, your frame should meet the following requirements to achieve optimal result.

• 1-1/8” Steerer Tube

• Internal Hose Routing (Front Running)

• Electronic Shifting - (e.g., Shimano Di2, SRAM eTap, Campagnolo EPS).

• Frame that supports internal cables.

Hose Routing

We have designed our hose routing to be as convenient as possible for most frame manufacturers to incorporate into their own systems. It features an open cable hole that works for most steerer tube shapes (round, D-shape, C-shape).

The hose should run in the front of the steerer tube, and is not compatible with hose running from the sides.

Adapter Compatibility

The Sculpture System is continually updated for compatibility, including the development of new headsets and adapters for both new and existing bikes.

Certain adapters sits directly with on the compression ring, while others are designed to mount on top of the original headset system.

Beyond Intergrations

If you don’t find an adapter matching your bike model, note that some adapters are compatible across multiple frames – such as Universal 56 mm, Universal 46 mm, or FSA ARC setups.

Our FSA ARC adapter is designed to mount on top of the original FSA compression ring and upper bearing cover, meaning it does not need to interface directly with the compression ring itself.
