An elongate, tubular handlebar can include a laterally extending central mounting portion, a tubular left body section extending laterally from one side of the mounting portion a tubular right body section extending laterally from the other side of the mounting portion. The right body section may have an elongate, tubular right control portion extending laterally from an inboard end to an outboard end and configured to support a generally laterally extending grip and a right transition portion having a non-circular, transition cross-sectional shape at a first location defining a first width measured in a first direction and a second width that is greater than the first width and is measured in a second direction. Whereby right body section has a first stiffness in the first direction and a second stiffness that is greater than the first stiffness in the second direction.
