Product Information

Full details

The Race Face Ride Riser Handlebar is an ideal choice for XC and trail riders seeking a reliable, high-performance cockpit upgrade without a premium price tag. Built with durable, cold-drawn seamless materials and reinforced through shot-peening, this bar offers a balance of strength and weight savings that enhances trail responsiveness. While it provides excellent geometry for most riders, those who prefer ultra-wide bars for aggressive downhill riding may find the fixed 710mm width slightly narrower than modern gravity-focused options.

FAQs

Is this handlebar compatible with a 35mm stem?

No, this handlebar is strictly designed for a 31.8mm clamp diameter.

Can I trim this bar to a shorter length?

Yes, if you prefer a narrower profile, the bar can be trimmed using a proper pipe cutter or hacksaw with a cutting guide.

Is this bar suitable for electric mountain bikes (eMTBs)?

While the construction is durable, this bar is primarily rated for XC and Trail use; consult your bike manufacturer's weight rating before installing on heavy eMTBs.

Does the rise affect my reach?

A 25mm rise slightly alters your cockpit geometry; a higher rise generally encourages a more upright, relaxed position.

What is the sweep angle designed for?

The 5-degree rearward and 6-degree upward sweep is designed to align with the natural angle of the wrists to minimize strain during long-distance riding.

Troubleshooting

Handlebar slips within the stem clamp

Verify that the stem bolts are torqued to the correct specifications and ensure the clamping area is clean and free of grease.

Clicking or creaking sounds near the stem

Remove the bar, clean the clamping surface, re-align, and retorque the bolts in an 'X' pattern to ensure even pressure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Accessible price point for premium Race Face engineering
  • Enhanced fatigue resistance via shot-peening
  • Lightweight construction suitable for XC and Trail applications
  • Ergonomic sweep profile for reduced wrist strain

Cons

  • Fixed 710mm width may feel narrow for aggressive gravity riders
  • Limited to 31.8mm clamp diameter
  • Not intended for extreme downhill or freeride abuse

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your stem uses a 31.8mm clamp diameter, which is the industry standard for this bar. Center the bar precisely within the stem faceplate using the provided alignment markings. When tightening the stem bolts, use a torque wrench to follow the manufacturer's recommended torque settings for both the stem and the handlebar to avoid crushing the material. Do not overtighten. For care, wipe down the bar with a damp cloth after muddy rides to remove abrasive grit. Periodically inspect the surface for deep scratches or signs of impact damage. If the bar suffers a major crash, it should be replaced immediately, as internal fatigue is not always visible to the naked eye.
