Descendant Carbon 35mm Handlebar - No Packaging

Truvativ added 5mm of rise to the Descendant Carbon DH Bar this generation, a change that shows up in hand position on long descents rather than in the spec sheet alone. The carbon layup itself absorbs vibration at the material level, a different approach than adding elastomer inserts or foam wrap to compensate for a stiffer alloy bar. Width runs 800mm stock, trimmable to 760mm at the clamp for riders dialing in cockpit width.

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The carbon layup damps high-frequency vibration before it reaches my hands, which is a different problem than the low-frequency flex a thinner-wall alloy bar manages. That distinction is why this bar can add compliance without giving up the stiffness I need when I'm loading it hard into a corner."
