Riders who want a stiffer front end reach for the GCS 35mm Handlebar, built around a larger clamp diameter that resists flex under hard cornering loads. The bar carries 7 degrees of backsweep and 5 degrees of upsweep, geometry set for an aggressive, attacking position on steep terrain, and it passed EFBE's TRI-TEST GR certification, a strength standard built for freeride and downhill riding. An 800 millimeter width adds leverage, and the bar comes in 20 millimeter and 40 millimeter rise so a rider can dial in cockpit height. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I switched to the 35-millimeter clamp after bending a smaller bar on a hard landing, and this one hasn't budged through a full season of drops."
