Know before you buy
The carbon fiber construction provides a high strength-to-weight ratio, keeping the bar at a light 210g while offering superior vibration damping. This helps smooth out trail chatter, reducing hand fatigue during long, aggressive descents.
This handlebar features a 35mm clamp diameter. Before purchasing, please ensure your current stem is compatible with this standard size.
The 30mm rise provides a slightly more upright, neutral riding position compared to flat or low-rise bars. This setup is ideal for enduro and gravity riding, as it helps you maintain better control and visibility when navigating steep, technical terrain.
Yes, the 800mm width is a standard starting point for modern gravity bars. If you find it too wide for your preference or local trail conditions, it can be trimmed down using the appropriate tools for carbon fiber components.
The 8-degree backsweep and 5-degree upsweep are designed to put your wrists in a more natural, ergonomic position. This geometry helps reduce strain on your joints and improves your leverage when steering through rough sections.
