TruVativ Hussefelt Riserbar

While the Hussefelt is specifically engineered for the high-impact demands of downhill and freeride, its geometry is versatile enough for aggressive trail riding. However, if you prioritize lightweight climbing over durability, you might find it slightly heavier than dedicated cross-country bars.

This handlebar features a 31.8 mm clamp diameter, which is the standard size for most modern mountain bike stems. As long as your stem is designed for a 31.8 mm bar, it will be a direct fit.

Triple-butting means the aluminum wall thickness varies throughout the bar, putting extra material where it's needed for strength and shaving it away where it's not. This results in a bar that is exceptionally stiff and durable without being unnecessarily heavy.

The 20 mm rise helps you maintain a more upright, confident position for technical descents, while the 5-degree upsweep and 9-degree backsweep are designed to reduce wrist strain and improve steering leverage. It creates a natural, ergonomic hand position that helps you stay in control on rough terrain.

No, the bead-blasted finish is primarily there to increase surface durability and resistance to trail debris. It is low-maintenance and can be cleaned with standard bike wash or mild soap and water.
