Mountain Bike Handlebars Buyer's Guide (Carbon vs Alloy, Width, Rise & Sweep)

00:00 Intro
00:24 Materials
01:37 Width
05:31 Diameter
08:27 Preferences

Upgrading your Mountain Bike's Handlebars can be confusing! That's why we made this buyer's guide with Jeff going over everything you want to know. He goes over everything starting with material, is carbon fiber better than alloy, the weight differences, and even the performance differences between them. He also goes over handlebar rise and sweep, something people don't know much about, and explains why angles matter and what you might want on your bike. We also go over handlebar width and how it evolved from super narrow widths in the 90's to wide bars in today's world. From there we jump into handlebar clamp diameter. 31.8mm vs 35mm. Is bigger really better? Does a 35mm handlebar make your bars too stiff? He even goes into OneUp Components Carbon Handlebars and how they managed to make a super compliant 35mm carbon handlebar that outperforms just about everything on the market. To tie it all together, Jeff goes over preferences and how different riders need different setups. He also goes over his personal setup to let you know why he runs his cockpit the way he does. So sit back, crack a cold one and enjoy! If you are still confused on what handlebar to get even after watching this whole video, just give us a call! Our squad of cyborg bike nerds are here ready to help!
