The Controltech CLS Gravel Riser Handlebar is designed for gravel cyclists seeking a more upright, ergonomic riding position without sacrificing control on technical terrain. Constructed from durable 6061 aluminum, these bars offer a blend of lightweight performance and strength, making them ideal for long-distance gravel adventures; however, riders accustomed to traditional deep-drop road bars may find the 20mm rise significant if they are aiming for an aggressive, low aerodynamic profile.

These handlebars are compatible with standard 31.8mm oversized stems.
No, it is constructed from high-quality 6061 aluminum.
The flare provides a wider base for your hands, which increases leverage and stability when riding on technical or loose terrain.
While intended for gravel, they can be used for road cycling if you prefer a more upright, endurance-oriented riding position.
This model features a 20mm rise from the stem attachment point.
The CLS Gravel Riser series is available in various widths, including 40cm, 42cm, and 44cm models.
Verify the stem clamp bolts are tightened to the correct torque value using a torque wrench. If slipping persists, ensure there is no grease or debris between the bar and stem clamp.
The 16-degree flare changes the angle of the drops. Ensure your shifters are positioned correctly on the bend to allow for easy access to the levers while maintaining a straight wrist position.
This handlebar is designed for use with standard 31.8mm stems. When installing, ensure that your stem faceplate is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications to prevent damage to the aluminum material. Given the flared design, you may need to re-route your hydraulic brake or gear cables to accommodate the wider width in the drops. Regularly inspect the bar for any deep scratches or signs of fatigue, especially near the stem clamping area. Clean the handlebars using mild soap and water, avoiding abrasive cleaning agents that could compromise the finish.
