A no nonsense trail oversized handlebar, the Race Face Aeffect R 35 20mm Rise Handlebar gives the modern mountain biker a durable set-and-forget bar that's eager to rip up the trail with you. Sitting at a generous 780mm width, this bar will add control on your aggressive all-mountain trail or enduro machine and is the kind of bar for riders seeking strength rather than counting grams. The Aeffect R's 35mm clamp section increases stiffness at the all-important handlebar/stem junction. Butting the tubing reinforces high-stress areas while thinning the walls wherever possible to keep the claimed weight at a reasonable 345g and improve ride comfort. This isn't the lightest bar, but it will laugh off abuse that would normally destroy a carbon bar and save your wallet. The 9-degree backsweep and 5-degree upsweep of the 2014 aluminum felt completely neutral in our hands and the stealth black on black looks great on any mountain bike.
