Gradient Carbon Riser Handlebar

This handlebar requires a stem with a 35mm clamp diameter. Please verify your current stem's specifications before purchasing, as it will not fit standard 31.8mm clamps.

A 30mm rise provides a slightly more upright posture compared to a flat bar. This helps shift your weight back, making it easier to lift the front wheel and providing more confidence on steep, technical descents.

Yes, the 800mm width can be trimmed to your preferred length. We recommend using a fine-tooth hacksaw and a cutting guide to ensure a clean, straight edge without damaging the carbon structure.

The textured surface increases friction between the handlebar and the stem faceplate. This helps prevent the bars from rotating or slipping during aggressive riding without needing to over-tighten the bolts.

While it is durable enough for cross-country, it is primarily engineered for gravity-focused riding like enduro and downhill. At 404 grams, it prioritizes strength and stiffness over the ultra-lightweight profile typically preferred for pure cross-country racing.
