ProTaper Aluminum Handlebar

This handlebar features a 35mm clamp diameter. You will need to ensure your stem is compatible with this specific size before installation.

The 810mm width provides excellent leverage and stability, but it can be trimmed down to your preferred length using a standard hacksaw and a cutting guide. Many riders find the extra width helpful for steering control, but you should measure your local trail clearance if you ride in very tight, wooded areas.

A 25.4mm rise offers a moderate lift that helps keep your weight centered and your front end slightly higher. This is generally considered a versatile 'sweet spot' that balances climbing efficiency with confidence on steep descents.

While aluminum is stiffer than carbon fiber, this bar is engineered to balance strength with vibration damping. The optimized sweep angles also play a significant role in reducing hand fatigue by promoting a more natural wrist alignment.

The 4-degree up sweep and 8-degree back sweep are designed to mimic the natural resting position of your hands. This geometry helps reduce strain on your wrists and shoulders, keeping you comfortable during longer, more technical rides.
