Product Information

Full details

The Race Face Next R Riser Handlebar is designed for aggressive trail, All-Mountain (AM), and Enduro mountain bikers who demand a high strength-to-weight ratio without sacrificing comfort. Featuring a 35mm clamp diameter and unidirectional carbon construction, these bars provide precise handling and improved vibration damping to reduce arm fatigue on technical descents. While they offer premium performance for gravity-focused riding, their stiff construction and specific 35mm diameter requirement may not be suitable for riders seeking a more compliant ride on older setups that utilize 31.8mm stems.

FAQs

Can I cut these bars to a narrower width?

Yes, the Next R bars feature laser-etched cut marks that allow you to trim them to your preferred width using a carbon-specific hacksaw blade.

Are these bars compatible with bar ends?

No, using bar ends on these carbon handlebars is not recommended as the clamping force can cause structural failure.

Do I need a torque wrench to install these?

Yes, using a torque wrench is highly recommended to ensure you do not crush the carbon material while achieving a secure hold.

What is the primary benefit of the 35mm diameter?

The 35mm diameter allows for a stiffer, more responsive interface between the bar and stem, which improves steering accuracy at the cost of less material weight.

Are these handlebars suitable for downhill racing?

While highly durable and designed for Enduro, they are engineered for the specific stresses of trail and AM riding; for extreme DH use, consult specific gravity-rated product lines.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars slipping or rotating in the stem

Ensure you are using carbon-safe assembly paste and check that the stem faceplate is torqued correctly to the manufacturer's specification.

Clean the interface between the handlebar and stem, apply a fresh layer of carbon assembly paste, and ensure all bolts are tightened evenly in an 'X' pattern.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure peak performance and safety, follow these guidelines for your Next R 35 Handlebars:

  1. Stem Compatibility: These bars are strictly designed for 35mm diameter stems. Do not attempt to use with 31.8mm stems or shims.
  2. Torque Specifications: Always use a calibrated torque wrench. Exceeding the recommended torque on your stem faceplate can damage the carbon structure.
  3. Component Mounting: Use carbon-friendly assembly paste on contact points for shifters and brake levers to prevent slippage without over-tightening.
  4. Inspection: Periodically inspect the carbon surface for chips, cracks, or deep scratches, especially after a significant crash or impact.
  5. Cleaning: Use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or solvents that can degrade the clear coat finish.
