Product Information

Full details

The Deity Racepoint Aluminium Handlebar is an ideal choice for Downhill, Enduro, and All Mountain riders seeking a balance of extreme durability and high-performance ride quality. Its primary benefit is the advanced gradient butting technology, which optimizes wall thickness to provide stiffness without compromising vibration damping. While it offers a superior feel on technical terrain, riders must ensure their stem is compatible with the 35mm clamp diameter before installation.

FAQs

Can I use this handlebar with a 31.8mm stem?

No, this handlebar is specifically designed for a 35mm bore diameter.

Is it safe to cut the Racepoint handlebar?

Yes, you can cut the bar down to your preferred width using a professional cutting guide and hacksaw.

What is the primary material used?

The Racepoint is constructed from high-grade aluminium.

Will this bar help with arm pump?

Yes, the gradient butting is specifically engineered to provide vibration damping, which can help reduce arm pump on long, rough descents.

Does the finish scratch easily?

While durable, the red finish can be scratched by metal-on-metal contact. It is recommended to use proper tools and ensure clean interfaces.

Troubleshooting

Handlebar slips within the stem clamp

Clean the clamping surface of both the stem and handlebar with isopropyl alcohol. Ensure the stem faceplate bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's recommended spec.

Controls feel too stiff or binding

Check that the controls are not overtightened on the bar. Carbon/alloy assembly paste can help provide grip at lower torque values.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Compatibility: This handlebar requires a 35mm diameter stem clamp. It is not compatible with standard 31.8mm stems.
  2. Installation: Ensure the stem faceplate bolts are tightened evenly in an 'X' pattern to the torque specification provided by your stem manufacturer. Avoid over-tightening.
  3. Alignment: Use the printed centering and angle indicators on the bar to ensure symmetrical setup.
  4. Trimming: If you decide to cut the bar, use a high-quality pipe cutter or a fine-tooth hacksaw with a cutting guide. Always deburr the edges with a metal file after cutting.
  5. Maintenance: Periodically check all controls (shifters, brakes, dropper levers) to ensure they are torqued correctly and have not scratched the surface finish. If the handlebar sustains a deep scratch or dent in a crash, it is recommended to replace it for safety.
