Longer handlebars make a longer lever to move around the pivot point. In this case the steering stem. It is the same as using a breaker bar to "gain" more power to remove a stuck bolt. As you increase the distance from the steering head with a longer handlebar you increase your ability to generate a force that turns the wheel. Hope this helps.
Handlebars.
