RaceFace Chester Handlebar

Yes, it is specifically designed for downhill and hardtail use. The cold-drawn 6061 aluminum construction and shot-peened finish are engineered to handle the high-impact forces and fatigue associated with aggressive trail riding.

This handlebar uses a 31.8 mm clamp diameter. You should check your current stem's specifications to ensure it matches this size before purchasing.

The triple-butted design removes material where it isn't needed and reinforces areas under high stress. This optimizes the strength-to-weight ratio, providing a bar that is durable enough for jumps while remaining responsive and not overly harsh on the trail.

These angles are tuned to place your wrists and elbows in a more natural, ergonomic position. This setup helps reduce fatigue on longer rides and provides better leverage and control when navigating technical terrain.

Yes, the 740 mm width can be trimmed to your preferred length. We recommend using a proper pipe cutter or a hacksaw with a guide to ensure a clean, straight edge.
