The Gusset S2 MTB Riser Handlebars are designed for aggressive mountain bikers and trail riders who prioritize structural integrity and precise handling. These bars provide exceptional stiffness and leverage for technical terrain, though their 800mm width and 35mm clamp diameter may require specific stem compatibility and may feel overly wide for riders used to narrower cockpit setups.

No, these handlebars require a 35mm diameter stem clamp. Using a 31.8mm stem will not work.
Use a proper hacksaw or a specialized pipe cutter for aluminum. Follow the integrated trim markings on the ends of the bars to ensure a straight, even cut.
Yes, the 7075 alloy construction and 35mm clamp diameter provide the durability required for aggressive downhill and enduro riding.
While weight can vary slightly by batch, they are engineered for a high strength-to-weight ratio suitable for competitive trail use.
You will need a standard set of hex keys for the stem bolts and, ideally, a torque wrench to ensure proper clamping force.
Verify the stem bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification. If slipping persists, ensure there is no grease or oil on the clamping surface.
Clean the interface between the handlebar and stem, apply a fresh thin layer of anti-seize or friction paste, and re-torque the stem bolts in a cross pattern.
To install the Gusset S2, ensure your mountain bike stem is explicitly designed for a 35mm clamping diameter. Attempting to use a shim or an incompatible stem size will cause structural damage to the bar or stem interface. When mounting your brake levers, shifters, and grips, apply a light coat of carbon paste or friction grease if using carbon components nearby to ensure they stay in place without needing to over-tighten the clamps. Regularly check the bolts on your stem faceplate using a torque wrench to ensure they meet the manufacturer's specified torque settings. Avoid overtightening as this can crush the alloy. To clean, wipe down with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh chemical degreasers that may degrade the finish markings.
