Race Face SixC Handlebar

The 820mm width offers excellent leverage and stability, which is a major advantage on technical terrain. However, if you ride in areas with very narrow tree gaps, you can easily trim the bars to your preferred width using a standard hacksaw and a carbon-specific blade.

Yes, the carbon layup is specifically engineered to provide small-bump compliance. This helps dampen trail chatter before it reaches your hands, which can significantly reduce fatigue and arm pump during long, aggressive rides.

While the 35mm clamp standard is inherently stiffer than the older 31.8mm standard, Race Face has tuned the carbon layup to ensure the bar remains compliant. You get the precision and strength benefits of the larger clamp without the harsh, unforgiving ride quality often associated with oversized bars.

The SixC 35 is designed for both. Its lightweight construction makes it efficient enough for enduro stages where climbing is required, while its strength-to-weight ratio and geometry are robust enough to handle full-blown downhill racing and bike park abuse.

You will need a stem with a 35mm clamp diameter. If your current stem is 31.8mm, it will not be compatible with this handlebar.
