Chromag BZA Handlebar

The unidirectional carbon fiber layup is specifically engineered to dampen trail chatter and high-frequency vibrations. While it remains stiff for precise steering, it absorbs more impact than aluminum, which helps reduce hand and arm fatigue on long, rough descents.

The BZA requires a 35mm stem clamp. If your current stem is a standard 31.8mm, you will need to upgrade your stem to match this handlebar.

Yes, the BZA is designed to be cut down to your preferred width. We recommend using a fine-tooth hacksaw and a cutting guide to ensure a clean, straight edge on the carbon.

The rise depends on your bike's geometry and your preferred riding position. A 15mm rise keeps your weight forward for climbing and XC efficiency, while a 35mm rise promotes a more upright, confident stance for aggressive trail and downhill riding.

Yes, the BZA is built to handle aggressive riding, including downhill. Its unidirectional carbon layup provides the structural integrity needed for demanding terrain while keeping the overall weight significantly lower than comparable aluminum bars.
