Race Face Era Handlebar

This handlebar features a 35mm clamp diameter, so you will need a stem specifically designed for that size. It will not fit standard 31.8mm stems without an adapter, which is generally not recommended for carbon bars.

The 55mm rise is quite significant and is designed to put you in a more upright, neutral position. This helps keep your weight centered and improves visibility on steep, technical descents, though it may make the front end feel lighter on very steep climbs.

Yes, the carbon construction provides better vibration damping, which helps reduce hand fatigue on long, rough descents. It also offers a distinct stiffness-to-weight ratio that feels more responsive and precise than most aluminum alternatives.

Yes, you can trim the width of the Race Face Era handlebar to suit your preference. Just ensure you use a fine-tooth hacksaw and follow the manufacturer's guidelines for cutting carbon fiber to avoid damaging the structural integrity of the bar.

With its high rise and stiff 35mm clamp, this bar is optimized for aggressive trail riding and enduro. It provides the leverage and control needed for technical terrain while remaining light enough for all-day rides.
