Abstract
The bracket includes a bracket body of which the front end ends by a receiving recess that is adapted to the shape of a set of handlebars and that can be closed toward the outside by a tightening yoke that is adapted to the shape of the handlebars. The tightening yoke is connected to the bracket body to tighten the handlebars by a tightening unit. The tightening yoke is formed by a part that is connected in the form of a flexible belt of which a first end is anchored in the bracket body and of which a second end is connected to the tightening unit arranged behind the receiving recess by being capable of pulling the second end close to the first end of the belt forming a tightening yoke in such a way as to adjust the tightening force of the handlebars.
