With a 12° backsweep and proven geometry, it supports a more relaxed position without sacrificing precision. Its spiral butted 7075 aluminium construction delivers top-tier durability and comfort, making it ideal for eBikes and long-distance riding.
Key Features and Benefits:
Spiral butted 7075 aluminium tubing: This heat-treated, double-butted alloy structure balances strength and lightness. The outcome is a handlebar that resists flex under load while still absorbing trail buzz for better control and reduced fatigue.
12° backsweep and 5° upsweep: This specific angle design positions your wrists in a more natural alignment. The benefit is reduced strain over long distances, resulting in a more relaxed and sustainable ride posture.
35mm rise: This moderate rise lifts the front end slightly, improving rider stance and steering input. The result is smoother handling and more stability on descents or when navigating technical trails.
Available in two clamp diameters (31.8mm and 35mm): These common clamp sizes ensure compatibility with a wide range of stems. This makes upgrading or switching bars easier, while maintaining a secure fit for responsive steering.
Widths matched to clamp size (780mm for 31.8mm, 800mm for 35mm): The tailored width provides better leverage and control based on clamp diameter. It offers increased handling confidence and precise response over rough terrain.
Laser-etched cut marks at each end of the bar: These guide marks allow for accurate and even trimming of the handlebar width. This ensures a simple, hassle-free way to customise the fit for your riding style, resulting in improved handling and personal comfort.
Vapour-blast matte black finish: This refined finish gives the bar a clean, modern look that resists glare. It also mimics the visual texture of carbon fibre while maintaining the resilience of aluminium.
Built for riders seeking a more ergonomic riding position, the DMR Sweeper helps reduce upper body tension while offering precise control. Its design supports long hours in the saddle without sacrificing strength or performance. With options for clamp size and a geometry backed by years of rider input, it provides lasting comfort for both electric and analogue mountain bikes.
Get the performance and support you need on every ride with a handlebar designed for real-world endurance and control. The DMR Sweeper is a reliable upgrade for riders who demand comfort without compromise.

FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the DMR Sweeper Handlebar's geometry?
The 12° backsweep and 5° upsweep are designed to promote a more natural and comfortable wrist position, reducing fatigue during long rides.
Is this handlebar suitable for eBikes?
Yes, its durable construction, comfortable geometry, and stable rise make it ideal for the demands of eBikes and long-distance riding.
How do I choose between the 31.8mm and 35mm clamp options?
You should choose the clamp diameter that matches your current or intended stem. 35mm is generally considered stiffer and is common on modern, performance-oriented bikes, while 31.8mm is also widely compatible.
Can I cut the handlebar to a narrower width?
Yes, the handlebar features laser-etched cut marks at each end to guide accurate and symmetrical width adjustments. Always use appropriate tools and measure carefully.
What material is the handlebar made from?
It is constructed from heat-treated, double-butted 7075 aluminum alloy.
What is the finish of the handlebar?
The handlebar features a durable vapour-blast matte black finish.
Does the handlebar come with a stem?
No, this product is the handlebar only. A compatible stem is required for installation.
Troubleshooting
Handlebar feels unstable or loose.
Ensure the stem bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque. Check that the handlebar is correctly seated within the stem clamp.
Rattling noise from handlebar.
Check that all components mounted to the handlebar (e.g., grips, levers, computer mounts) are securely fastened. Internal cable rattle can sometimes occur; ensure cables are routed cleanly.
Premature fatigue or discomfort.
Verify handlebar orientation and ensure it is not rotated excessively. Consider adjusting stem length or angle, or consulting a bike fitter to optimize riding position.
Finish is scratched or damaged.
Minor cosmetic scratches can occur with normal use. For significant damage, inspect the underlying aluminum for structural integrity. If concerned, consider replacing the handlebar.
