Full Speed Ahead Gradient Carbon Riser Handlebar

While it is engineered for gravity-focused riding like downhill and enduro, it is an excellent choice for any aggressive mountain biking. The carbon construction provides the stiffness needed for technical maneuvers and high-speed descents, regardless of the specific discipline.

This handlebar requires a stem with a 35 mm clamp diameter. Please ensure your current stem matches this measurement before purchasing, as it is not compatible with standard 31.8 mm stems.

Yes, you can trim the bar to your preferred width. However, because it is a carbon composite, ensure you use a fine-tooth hacksaw and follow proper carbon-cutting techniques to avoid damaging the structural integrity of the material.

The textured surface increases friction between the stem faceplate and the handlebar. This helps prevent the bars from rotating or slipping during hard impacts or aggressive riding, allowing you to run slightly lower torque settings while maintaining a secure fit.

This geometry is designed to put your wrists in a natural, ergonomic position that reduces fatigue during long descents. It offers a balance that keeps your elbows out and your posture aggressive, which is ideal for maintaining control in technical terrain.
