a left handle comprising

a bar; and

a first elastic component having two ends;

wherein one of the two ends of the first elastic component is connected with an end of the bar, and the other one of the two ends of the first elastic component is connected with the stem;

a right handle comprising

a bar; and

a second elastic component having two ends;

wherein one of the two ends of the second elastic component is connected with an end of the bar, and the other one of the two ends of the second elastic component is connected with the stem;

an adjusting post having

two ends, one of the two ends of the adjusting post fixed to the stem and forming a polygonal columnar portion, and the other one of the two ends of the adjusting post having an outer thread;

a left adjusting socket comprising

a socket body;

a left adjusting hole disposed through the socket body, being polygonal, and sheathed on and matching the polygonal columnar portion; and

a toothed portion having multiple teeth which protrude from an upper surface of the socket body and surround the left adjusting hole; and

a right adjusting socket comprising

a socket body;

a right adjusting hole disposed through the socket body, being polygonal, and sheathed on and matching the polygonal columnar portion; and

a toothed portion having multiple teeth which protrude from a lower surface of the socket body and surround the right adjusting hole; and

the right adjusting socket of the right handle abuts on the left adjusting socket of the left handle, and the toothed portion of the left handle engages with the toothed portion of the right handle.

2. The vibration absorbing handlebar as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the left adjusting socket has a groove recessed from the upper surface of the socket body;

the left adjusting hole is disposed through a bottom of the groove of the left adjusting socket;

the right adjusting socket has a groove recessed from the lower surface of the socket body;

the right adjusting hole is disposed through a bottom of the groove of the right adjusting socket; and

the vibration absorbing handlebar comprises

an elastomer located between the groove of the left adjusting socket and the groove of the right adjusting socket and sheathed on the adjusting post; and

a fixing knob having a threaded hole threaded with the outer thread of the adjusting post.

3. The vibration absorbing handlebar as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each one of the left adjusting socket and the right adjusting socket has a post portion, the post portion of the left adjusting socket is connected with the first elastic component, and the post portion of the right adjusting socket is connected with the second elastic component.

4. The vibration absorbing handlebar as claimed in claim 3 , wherein each one of the first elastic component and the second elastic component is made of a hollow rod rolled up spirally and has multiple helical turns, and two adjacent said helical turns abut each other.

5. The vibration absorbing handlebar as claimed in claim 2 , wherein each one of the first elastic component and the second elastic component is made of a hollow rod rolled up spirally and has multiple helical turns, and two adjacent said helical turns abut each other.

6. The vibration absorbing handlebar as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each one of the first elastic component and the second elastic component is made of a hollow rod rolled up spirally and has multiple helical turns, and two adjacent said helical turns abut each other.
