The Truvativ Descendant 35mm Carbon DH Bar picks up 5mm of rise over the previous generation, moving the grips higher for a position that's easier to hold through a long descent. Carbon replaces the previous alloy layup, and the laminate absorbs vibration through its construction while keeping the bar stiff under load. At 800mm, it trims down to 760mm for riders who want a narrower cockpit. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I bottom out a rock garden at speed and my hands aren't buzzing by the bottom the way they used to on an alloy bar. The extra 5mm of rise also keeps my wrists from cocking back on steep chutes, which matters more than people give it credit for."
