The RaceFace Ride Flat Handlebar has a standard 31.8mm clamp diameter.
This handlebar is specifically engineered for XC and Trail riding; it is not recommended for dedicated Downhill or Freeride use.
The bar weighs approximately 343g.
This is a flat handlebar with 0mm of rise.
The total width is 710mm.
It is constructed from cold-drawn, seamless 6061 aluminum alloy.
Verify that the stem bolts are tightened to the correct torque. If slippage continues, clean both the bar surface and the stem clamp area with isopropyl alcohol to remove grease or debris.
Remove the stem faceplate, clean the contact surfaces, and ensure the bolts are tightened evenly in an 'X' pattern to the recommended torque settings.
To install the handlebar, ensure your stem faceplate is compatible with the 31.8mm clamp diameter. Always use a torque wrench to tighten the stem bolts to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications to prevent damage to the alloy. Periodically inspect the bar for deep scratches or cracks, especially after a crash, as damage to the surface can compromise the fatigue life of the alloy. Wipe the handlebar clean with a damp cloth after rides to remove salt and grit, and avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the finish.
