Race Face Next SL 35 Carbon Handlebar

The all new Race Face Next SL 35 carbon handlebar is light as a feather and handles like a dream, developed to focus on reducing rider fatigue without compromising handling. 

Cross country riding is changing, the bikes are more capable than ever, the trail choices and courses are getting rougher and rowdier, and riders are continuing to progress and push the boundaries. XC/trail bikes typically lean towards higher efficiency, which can lead to a trade-off in suspension and rider comfort. Hand and arm fatigue have increasingly become a factor that impacts many of these riders, ranging from annoyance to limiting performance that might cut your day short. This new handlebar design allows good vertical flex for extra comfort while additional carbon added to the front and back of the bar eliminates bad horizontal flex for improved steering precision. And at 164g, it is the lightest in its category, thanks in part to a 35mm bar diameter, which helps reduce weight while maintaining strength.
