Riser Carbon Bar

This bar requires a stem with a 35mm clamp diameter. Please check your current stem specifications before purchasing, as many older or lightweight stems use a 31.8mm standard.

Yes, you can trim the bar to your preferred width. We recommend using a fine-tooth hacksaw and a cutting guide to ensure a clean edge, and always wear a mask to avoid inhaling carbon dust.

A 20mm rise offers a balanced, neutral position that works well for most trail bikes. It provides enough height to keep your weight centered during technical descents without making the front end feel too light on steep climbs.

Yes, do not exceed 6Nm when tightening your stem faceplate or accessory clamps. Using a torque wrench is essential with carbon components to prevent crushing the material.

Santa Cruz engineered this bar specifically to balance stiffness with vibration damping. It is designed to track precisely through corners while absorbing trail chatter to reduce hand and arm fatigue over long rides.
