Product Information

Full details

The Gusset Components S2 Handlebars in Black are designed for aggressive mountain bikers seeking enhanced control and cockpit stability. Their primary benefit is the robust 35mm clamp diameter combined with lightweight, strong aluminum construction. A potential consideration is the fixed 800mm width, which may require trimming for some riders. Key features include custom butted tubing, multiple rise options, and precise measurement markings for a personalized setup.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the 35mm clamp diameter?

The 35mm clamp diameter provides increased stiffness and strength in the cockpit, leading to more precise steering control and a more stable feel, especially on rough terrain.

Can I cut these handlebars down if they are too wide?

Yes, the handlebars feature precise cut markings that allow you to easily trim them to a narrower width if needed. Use a sharp pipe cutter or a fine-toothed saw for a clean cut.

What rise options are available for the S2 Handlebars?

The Gusset Components S2 Handlebars are available in multiple rise options: 10mm, 20mm, 30mm, 38mm, and 50mm, allowing you to customize your riding position.

What material are the S2 Handlebars made from?

They are constructed from custom butted and swaged 7075 aluminum tubing, which offers a high strength-to-weight ratio.

Do I need a special stem for these handlebars?

Yes, these handlebars require a stem with a 35mm clamp diameter. Standard 31.8mm or 25.4mm stems will not fit.

What is the intended use for these handlebars?

The S2 Handlebars are designed for aggressive mountain biking, including trail, enduro, and downhill riding, where strength, control, and stability are paramount.

How should I clean and maintain my S2 Handlebars?

Clean them with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Periodically check the tightness of your stem and control clamps. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars feel too wide

Utilize the integrated cut markings to trim the handlebars to your preferred width using a suitable cutting tool. Ensure even cuts on both sides.

Stem does not fit handlebars

Verify that your stem has a 35mm clamp diameter. If not, you will need to purchase a new stem compatible with 35mm handlebars.

Creaking noise from handlebar/stem area

Ensure all stem bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification. A small amount of carbon paste (if applicable) or assembly grease on the contact surfaces between the stem and handlebars can also help prevent creaks.

Controls feel loose or move during riding

Check the torque on your shifter and brake lever clamps. Ensure they are tightened sufficiently, but do not overtighten, which could damage the handlebar surface.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced cockpit stability due to the 35mm clamp diameter.
  • Strong yet lightweight construction using 7075 aluminum.
  • Versatile fit options with multiple rise choices.
  • Ergonomically designed for rider comfort and control.
  • Precise cut markings simplify customization.

Cons

  • Fixed 800mm width may be too wide for some riders and require cutting.
  • 35mm clamp diameter requires a compatible stem.
  • Primarily designed for aggressive riding, might be overkill for casual use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure you have a stem with a 35mm clamp diameter.
  2. If necessary, use the cut markings on the handlebars to trim them to your desired width. Use a pipe cutter or a fine-toothed saw for a clean cut. Always measure twice before cutting.
  3. Mount the handlebars in your stem, ensuring they are centered. Tighten stem bolts gradually and evenly to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification.
  4. Install grips, shifters, and brake levers, paying attention to their positioning for optimal ergonomics.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a 35mm diameter stem. Ensure your existing stem is compatible or upgrade to one that is.
  • Compatible with most standard mountain bike brake levers, shifters, and grips designed for 35mm bars.

Care:

  • Clean the handlebars with a mild soap and water solution. Use a soft cloth to wipe them dry.
  • Periodically check stem bolts and lever clamps for tightness.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the finish.
