Soma Clarence Handlebar

The Clarence Bar is an iconic swept-back bicycle handlebar produced by Soma Fabrications, designed to offer an ergonomic alternative to traditional flat or riser bars while maintaining compatibility with mountain bike controls and grips.

Soma Fabrications (often known simply as Soma) was founded in 2001 in San Francisco, California, by bicycle industry veterans focused on practical, high-performance steel frames and utilitarian, stylish bicycle components. Soma is an in-house brand of The Merry Sales Co., one of the oldest bicycle parts distributors in the United States, founded in 1906.

In the United Kingdom, Soma products, including the Clarence handlebar, are distributed via specialist independent bike dealers and distributors. Production of Soma handlebars is carried out in Taiwan, which is globally recognized as a premier center for high-grade bicycle alloy and steel component manufacturing.
