FSA Afterburner Flat Handlebar

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

A 740mm width provides excellent leverage and steering stability, which is great for technical trails. If you find it too wide for your specific needs, this aluminum bar can be safely trimmed down to your preferred width using a standard hacksaw or pipe cutter.

The flat profile (0mm rise) keeps your hands lower, which shifts more of your weight forward over the front wheel. This position is generally more aggressive and efficient for climbing or navigating technical sections, though it may feel slightly less upright than a riser bar.

Yes, the Afterburner is designed for versatility and works well on cyclocross bikes if you prefer a flat-bar setup over drop bars. Its durable aluminum construction is robust enough to handle the varied terrain typical of gravel and cyclocross riding.

While the Afterburner is built from durable aluminum and is sturdy enough for general trail riding and dirt jumping, it is primarily designed as a versatile, all-around bar. If you are doing heavy-duty downhill or extreme freeride, you might prefer a bar specifically engineered for gravity disciplines.
