Race Face NEXT Riser Handlebar

This handlebar requires a 35mm clamp diameter stem. If your current stem is 31.8mm, you will need to purchase a new stem to use this bar.

While the NEXT Riser is built with a high-stiffness carbon platform, it is specifically engineered for cross-country and trail riding. If you primarily ride aggressive enduro or downhill terrain, you may want to look at a more robust, gravity-focused option.

The 35mm interface increases the stiffness of the clamping area, which translates to more precise steering and responsive handling on technical trails. Because it is stiffer, some riders find it offers a more direct connection to the front wheel compared to traditional 31.8mm bars.

Yes, the carbon construction allows you to trim the bar to your preferred width. We recommend using a fine-tooth hacksaw and a cutting guide to ensure a clean, safe edge.

The 8-degree backsweep and 5-degree upsweep are designed to align with the natural angle of your wrists and elbows. This helps reduce fatigue and strain on your hands during long days in the saddle.
