What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I've set up the Control Riser Cockpit on a couple XC and downcountry builds, and it immediately sharpens the steering feel. The 25mm rise and backsweep keep my wrists comfortable on long rides, and the integrated stem makes the front end feel incredibly clean and precise on tight trails."Fast singletrack demands a cockpit that feels precise, balanced, and comfortable for hours in the saddle. The Roval Control Riser Cockpit gives us that control by combining a lightweight integrated handlebar and stem into a sleek front-end system designed for modern XC and trail riding. Developed by Specialized, the cockpit blends race-ready weight with trail-tuned ergonomics so we can stay confident when the pace picks up. The high-modulus carbon construction keeps weight impressively low while maintaining the stiffness we want for aggressive cornering and punchy climbs. A 25mm rise and 780mm width deliver leverage and stability when navigating technical terrain, while the 2deg upsweep and 8deg backsweep position our hands naturally for long rides. With cut-to-fit width options and integrated stem lengths, the cockpit helps us dial in fit while keeping the bike's front end clean and responsive.
