Race Face NEXT R Handlebar

Yes, the NEXT R is designed to be cut down to your preferred width. We recommend using a fine-tooth hacksaw and a cutting guide to ensure a clean, straight edge on the carbon fiber.

The 35mm diameter increases stiffness and strength, which creates a more responsive steering feel. While stiffer, Race Face uses a specific carbon layup in this model to ensure it still absorbs trail chatter and reduces hand fatigue.

Absolutely. The NEXT R is engineered specifically for aggressive trail and enduro riding. Its unidirectional carbon construction provides the durability needed for technical terrain while keeping the weight impressively low at 215 grams.

Not at all. The matte clearcoat is designed to be durable and weather-resistant. You can clean it just like the rest of your bike using mild soap and water; avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the finish.

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 the bar's diameter.
