Normally we would be wary of carbon bars that are as wide and light as these however, since they come from Race Face we know that their testing, build quality, and track record is stellar so we really don't worry about it. Race Face claims these bars meet downhill strength requirements, so while they are cross country light, the Next R will hold up to aggressive riders, and will be at home on mid-travel trail bikes. Sounds like a recipe for enduro and these Next R 35 35mm Rise Handlebars are perfect for the rider who wants a high-performance, light handlebar that has enough rise when the trails get really steep.To accomplish a 215-gram weight, Race Face constructs the 800mm-wide Next R bars with the highest quality unidirectional carbon fiber. It then ensures the fiber is free of voids and is densely compacted preventing any possibility of stress risers. Adding to the durability, the 35mm stem clamp and control zones are reinforced to minimize the possibility of failure at these crucial junctions.The Race Face Next R 35mm Riser Handlebar has eight-degrees of back and four-degrees of up sweep.
