The RaceFace Next Riser Handlebar is a premium carbon component designed for XC and Trail riders looking to balance weight savings with structural integrity. By utilizing a 35mm clamp diameter, the bar achieves a significant reduction in weight without compromising stiffness, offering improved control and small bump compliance. The main caveat is that users must ensure their stem is compatible with the 35mm bar bore standard before upgrading.

No. This handlebar is specifically engineered for a 35mm clamp diameter and will not fit a 31.8mm stem.
This handlebar is optimized for XC and Trail riding. For extreme downhill or freeride applications, RaceFace offers dedicated gravity-specific models.
The RaceFace Next 35mm Riser Handlebar weighs 180g.
Yes. Carbon fiber components are sensitive to over-tightening. Always follow the torque specifications listed on the component or the stem manual.
This handlebar features an 8-degree rearward sweep and a 5-degree upward sweep.
Verify that you are using a 35mm specific stem and ensure all bolts are tightened to the correct torque using a torque wrench. Using a small amount of carbon-specific assembly paste can also increase friction.
Remove the stem faceplate, clean both the bar and stem surfaces of any debris, apply a fresh layer of carbon assembly paste, and re-torque the bolts in an 'X' pattern.
When installing the RaceFace Next Handlebar, ensure your stem is explicitly designed for a 35mm clamp diameter; attempting to use a 31.8mm stem is not compatible and will result in equipment failure. Use a torque wrench to tighten stem faceplate bolts strictly to the manufacturer's recommended settings to prevent cracking the carbon fibers. Avoid using clamping components with sharp edges or abrasive finishes that could score the carbon surface. For long-term care, regularly inspect the bar for deep scratches or impacts, and clean the surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to remove abrasive trail grit.
