Race Face Chester Handlebar

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 this bar.

780mm is a standard width for modern mountain biking, offering excellent leverage and stability. However, if you find it too wide for your local trails, you can easily cut it down to your preferred length using a standard hacksaw and a cutting guide.

A 10mm rise is considered a low-rise bar, which helps keep your front end lower for better climbing efficiency and weight distribution on steep terrain. It is an ideal choice if you feel your current setup puts your hands too high.

Yes, the Chester is built from cold-drawn 6061 aluminum and shot-peened for extra fatigue resistance, making it specifically engineered to handle the stresses of aggressive trail riding.

The handlebar weighs 400 grams. While not the lightest carbon option on the market, this weight reflects the durable, heavy-duty aluminum construction designed for reliability.

The 8-degree backsweep and 5-degree upsweep are designed to put your wrists in a more natural, ergonomic position. This geometry helps reduce fatigue and strain on your hands during long descents.
