FAQs

 

What's the process when getting a custom build?
The process always starts with a conversation, so get in touch and tell us about your Dream Bike, and we can advise on the best way to make that dream a reality. The next step is to put down a deposit (at least 50%) - this will get the product secured or ordered under your name and the build process underway. We'll be in touch as the build progresses with any updates. 

Want to Carry More?
With a wide range of frame and fork-mounted rack systems on the market, and with more appearing every week, it is not possible for us to know exactly which racks will be compatible. Before mounting a rack to your frame or fork, we strongly recommend you get in touch with us for our advice. We will do our best to verify compatibility.
This will minimise the risk of injury, product damage and voiding your warranty. Your local Curve dealer, or the team at Curve HQ, can also help you select a rack system and mount it to your bike for you.

In general, M5 mounts on chainstays and seatstays will accept racks of various types, and the maximum approved weight to carry on a rack is 20kg (or less, depending on the rack rating). 

Note: This rating is for smooth roads & gravel. For anything rougher, the weight limit decreases. Use careful discretion when gauging how much weight to carry on rough gravel or off-road adventures. 


What payment options are there?
We accept payment in the form of credit card, Pay Pal and EFT. If you'd prefer to pay for your Curve bike or product in multiple payments, please contact us for an invoice with payment options attached. 


How long will my order take to ship?
Some products can be shipped immediately and normally land within 10-15 business days. Other products will have a lead time depending on supply levels and build time. As a guide, complete bikes normally take 3-4 weeks, custom wheel builds take 2–3 weeks, and custom frames take 3-6 months, plus shipping time. 

How much assembly is needed for complete bikes?
All our complete bikes are assembled and tuned before being packed safely for shipping (unless agreed otherwise). This means that you will not have to cut the chain, bleed brakes or set up and tune gears. However, in order for us to fit the bike in the box, some parts will have to come off. This means that some assembly is needed once you receive your new bike.

This is the normal level of assembly needed: 
  • Fit the front wheel
  • Fit the handlebars on the stem (torque wrench needed)
  • Fit the seatpost and adjust the saddle height and angle to your preference
  • Fit the rear derailleur and chain *
  • Fill sealant in tubeless tyres

* We realise that fitting the derailleur and chain may be something you're not comfortable doing yourself. We leave these parts off and pack them separately in the box to protect the bike and derailleur. The rear derailleur is one of the more expensive components on the bike, and we do not want you to receive your bike with a bent hanger, a broken or damaged derailleur, and/or a scratched chainstay due to chain rattle.

NOTE: We always recommend that you take your new bike to a professional mechanic to ensure everything is as it should be before you ride it. We can not take any responsibility for incorrectly self-assembled bikes.

 

Our ever-popular, pioneering wide drop bar is now available in carbon! Available now in three size options: 43, 46 & 50 cm.
 
The 43 cm is great for all-day road and light gravel riding and perfectly pair with our Belgie DISC, Belgie ULTRA or any road/all-road bike, plus any smaller gravel bikes. The 46 and 50 cm options are the perfect upgrade for gravel grinding and bikepacking and are ideally fitted to our GXR a.k.a. Kevins, Big Kev, GMX+ or any gravel bike where potential weight reduction and a smoother ride is sought after.


Designed in Melbourne

The original Walmer Bar was designed to service the rigours and demands of rugged gravel and off-road bikepacking. No handlebar on the market was the right width or shape, so we decided to create our own. This new carbon version of the Walmer Bar further improves on the original design and reduces weight whilst balancing stiffness and flex, providing some extra vibration damping in rugged terrain. The Walmer Bar Carbon is an alternative to our original alloy Walmer Bar, where performance is more of a focus, rather than straight-up robustness.
The entire top section of the handlebar, and part of the drops, have been internally reinforced with Kevlar to reduce the risk of crush damage from stem, lever and adventure tusk clamping (see tech specs for torque ratings).
While we’ve maintained the well-proven overall geometry of the bar, including the drop flare and 7˚ back sweep, we’ve made some updates to the ergonomics to improve hand positioning and the transition between the hoods and drops. The top section of the bar now features a subtle oval shape for added comfort and brake hoses and gear cables tuck neatly into the custom-designed routing recess on the underside of the bars. The width of the clamping area has been carefully considered to allow ample room for bags and lighting while still leaving room for your hands on the tops.

Extensive Testing

Before releasing the carbon version of the Walmer Bar, we consulted with experts in Europe, with facilities in Germany and Taiwan, to come up with a test procedure to ensure the bars meet the demands of the type of riding we like to do. 
 After passing the standard ISO test with flying colours, we went on to run our ramped-up procedure that closely mimics the loads and stresses the handlebar would be subjected to during its lifetime. The handlebars have been tested to the same rigorous standard at our factory as well as a specialist third-party facility dedicated to the testing of bicycle components.
The test procedure can be closely compared to what an XC MTB handlebar would go through, and they are rated for a maximum rider weight of 120kg.


Why Wide Drop Bars?

Changing hand position regularly prevents pressure and tension build-up and helps minimise numbness and blisters. A wider handlebar offers more stability and control, particularly when descending sketchy terrain on a loaded bike. It also gives added leverage when tackling technical climbs.


Influenced by MTB bar design, we've integrated 7° of sweep to the flat section. This shortens the reach to your hoods to counteract the wide grip.

Can I double-wrap these? Of course, you can. However, you may not have to, thanks to the updated oval-shaped top section of the bar.
