Product Information

Full details

The Race Face AEffect R Riser Handlebar is engineered for aggressive trail, all-mountain, and enduro riders seeking a durable, high-performance cockpit upgrade. Providing exceptional stability through its 780mm width and 35mm clamp diameter, this bar is ideal for those who value steering precision and durability on technical terrain. While its 2014 aluminum construction offers a reliable 'set-and-forget' experience, riders who prefer the vibration-dampening qualities of carbon fiber may find the material stiffness slightly less forgiving on extremely long, rough descents.

FAQs

Can I use this handlebar with a 31.8mm stem?

No, this handlebar requires a 35mm diameter stem clamp. It will not fit a standard 31.8mm stem.

Can I cut this handlebar to a narrower width?

Yes, you can cut the bar to your desired width using a proper hacksaw and a cutting guide, provided you do not cut past the safety markings.

What is the primary material used?

The handlebar is manufactured from durable 2014 aluminum.

Does this bar include alignment markings?

Yes, it features clear centering and alignment markings to help you position the bar perfectly in the stem.

Is this bar suitable for downhill riding?

While intended for aggressive trail and enduro, the 2014 aluminum construction is robust enough for light duty downhill use, though riders should always inspect components after heavy impacts.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars slipping or rotating in the stem

Check that the stem faceplate bolts are torqued to the manufacturer's specification. Ensure there is no grease or debris between the bar and the stem clamp.

Creaking noises coming from the cockpit

Remove the faceplate, clean the contact surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, and re-tighten the bolts to the correct torque using an even pattern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High strength-to-weight ratio for aggressive riding
  • Increased cockpit stiffness due to 35mm diameter
  • Generous 780mm width for superior control
  • Ergonomic sweep profile reduces hand and wrist strain
  • Durable, minimalist finish resists wear

Cons

  • Stiffer feel compared to carbon fiber handlebars
  • Cannot be resized smaller than 780mm without cutting
  • Requires a 35mm specific stem clamp

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your stem is compatible with the 35mm bar bore diameter. When mounting, use a torque wrench to tighten the stem faceplate bolts evenly in a cross-pattern to the torque specification indicated on your stem. Ensure the centering markings on the bar are aligned correctly with the stem. For care, wipe down the handlebar with a damp cloth after muddy rides to prevent grit from damaging the anodized finish. Inspect the bar periodically for any deep scratches or dents, especially after a significant crash, as structural damage to aluminum can compromise safety.
