Giant Contact SLR TR35 Bike Handlebar

This handlebar requires a stem with a 35mm clamp diameter. If your current stem is 31.8mm, you will need to upgrade your stem to match this bar.

Yes, the handlebar can be cut down to your preferred width. We recommend using a fine-tooth hacksaw and following the laser-etched markings to ensure a clean, accurate cut.

The 35mm clamp diameter increases the stiffness of the handlebar, which provides more precise steering and control during aggressive riding. While stiffer, the advanced carbon layup ensures it still effectively dampens trail vibrations.

While it is designed for aggressive riding, its lightweight SLR composite construction makes it versatile enough for cross-country use if you prefer a wider bar with a bit more rise for a comfortable, upright position.

The laser-etched markings serve as a guide for centering the bar in your stem and adjusting the roll angle. They help you achieve a precise, symmetrical setup and make it easier to replicate your preferred position if you ever remove the bars.
