DH tough and XC light, the Traverse SL 35 is a handlebar premiere that capitalizes on decades of carbon fiber experience to deliver precise control and exceptional comfort, along with class-leading strength to weight performance. Handlebars have grown wider in recent years, presenting interesting challenges. Because bars are wider, leverage stress exerted at the stem has risen dramatically. The Traverse SL features a 35mm diameter at the stem clamp to address these demands.
