The Race Face Next R Carbon Riser Handlebars are designed for aggressive trail, all-mountain, and enduro riders who demand a balance of high-impact strength and low-weight performance. These bars feature unidirectional carbon fiber construction to provide durability under heavy loads while retaining the agility required for enduro racing. While the 35mm clamp diameter offers industry-leading stiffness, it limits compatibility to specific stems designed for that size, making it a specialized choice for modern mountain bike setups.

Yes, these bars can be trimmed to your preferred width using a fine-tooth hacksaw designed for carbon fiber and a dedicated cutting guide.
No, this model specifically requires a 35mm diameter stem clamp.
The 20mm rise version weighs approximately 215g.
While durable enough for enduro and all-mountain, the Next R is engineered specifically for weight-sensitive riding disciplines like enduro; check Race Face specific downhill models if racing professional-level downhill.
No, standard bar ends or grips compatible with carbon handlebars are recommended.
Apply a light layer of carbon fiber friction paste to the clamping area and re-torque to the specific values indicated on the handlebar.
Remove the stem faceplate, clean the contact surfaces, re-apply carbon assembly paste, and tighten bolts in a cross-pattern to the correct torque.
Installation requires a stem with a 35mm bar bore diameter. When mounting your cockpit components, always use a torque wrench to ensure you do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended torque settings, as overtightening can damage carbon fiber. It is highly recommended to use a high-quality carbon paste on the stem-to-bar interface to ensure a secure fit without needing excessive bolt tension. Periodically inspect the bar for any deep gouges, cracks, or signs of stress, especially after a significant crash or impact. Clean the bars using mild soap and water; avoid using harsh solvents or high-pressure washers, which can degrade the clearcoat or seep into small fissures.
