FAQs

What is the main advantage of the 7075 alloy used?

7075 alloy offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it's very strong and durable while remaining relatively lightweight. This contributes to better handling and reduced rider fatigue.

How do I choose the right rise for my bike?

The rise affects your handlebar height and riding position. Lower rises (e.g., 10-20mm) generally result in a more aggressive, lower front end, suitable for descending. Higher rises (e.g., 30-80mm) offer a more upright position, beneficial for climbing and general comfort. Consider your current bike fit and riding style.

Can I use these bars with a 31.8mm stem?

Yes, the Gusset S2 Riser Bars are available in both 35mm and 31.8mm clamping diameters, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of stems.

Are the cut markings accurate for trimming?

Yes, the markings are designed to guide precise trimming. Always use a sharp cutting tool and measure carefully to ensure an even cut on both sides for proper symmetry.

What is the intended use for these handlebars?

These handlebars are designed for riders who demand strength, control, and durability, suitable for aggressive trail riding, all-mountain, and enduro applications.

How should I clean and maintain the handlebars?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals. Periodically check bolts for tightness and inspect for any damage.

Troubleshooting

Handlebars feel loose after installation

Re-check the torque settings on your stem bolts. Ensure the handlebars are centered in the stem clamp and tighten bolts evenly to the manufacturer's recommended torque specification.

Difficulty installing shifters or grips

Ensure you are using components designed for standard 22.2mm grip diameter. If resistance is high, a small amount of grip glue or isopropyl alcohol can aid installation, but allow it to dry completely before riding.

Rattling noise from the handlebar area

Check that all accessories (e.g., computer mounts, light mounts) are securely fastened. Internal cable routing can sometimes cause noise; ensure cables are properly seated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio for improved performance.
  • Multiple rise options for personalized fit and handling.
  • Durable 7075 alloy construction for long-lasting use.
  • Ergonomic sweep angles enhance rider comfort on extended rides.
  • Wide 800mm platform provides excellent leverage and control.

Cons

  • Choosing the correct rise may require prior knowledge of bike fit.
  • The 35mm clamp diameter requires a compatible stem.
  • Newer riders might find the 800mm width initially challenging to adapt to.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Before installation, determine your preferred handlebar width and use the integrated cut markings for precise trimming if necessary. Ensure your stem clamp diameter matches either the 31.8mm or 35mm interface of the S2 bars. Install the bars into the stem, ensuring even clamping on both sides, and torque to manufacturer specifications. For optimal fit, select a rise option that complements your bike's geometry and your riding posture.

Compatibility: These handlebars are compatible with stems featuring a 31.8mm or 35mm clamping diameter. Ensure your brake levers, shifters, and grips are designed for the standard 22.2mm grip diameter. Always check that all components are compatible with your bike's frame and fork.

Care: Clean the handlebars regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check all mounting bolts for tightness and inspect the bars for any signs of damage or stress.
