In-Route Gravel Carbon Handlebar

The moderate flare provides a wider stance in the drops, which increases leverage and stability when navigating technical, loose, or uneven gravel terrain. It also creates a more natural wrist angle, reducing fatigue on longer rides.

Yes, the In-Route system is designed to integrate with specific ENVE stems to allow for fully internal cable routing. While it can technically be clamped to other 31.8mm stems, you will lose the clean, integrated aesthetic and routing benefits the bar was engineered for.

The carbon layup is specifically tuned to dampen high-frequency vibrations from gravel and washboard surfaces. This helps reduce hand and arm fatigue without sacrificing the stiffness needed for precise steering and out-of-the-saddle climbing.

While it features internal routing ports specifically designed for Di2, you can use mechanical shifting as well. However, routing mechanical housing through the internal system can be more challenging and may require specific stem compatibility to maintain smooth cable curves.

To protect the carbon structure, you must use a torque wrench. The faceplate requires 5.5Nm, while your shift and brake clamps should be tightened to between 6Nm and 8Nm.
