Clean with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Regularly inspect for damage and replace if any significant cracks or deep scratches are found.
Verify stem torque is set correctly. Ensure brake/shifter clamp bolts are not over-tightened. Consider if the handlebar's inherent stiffness is a mismatch for your riding preference or terrain.
Check stem clamp bolts and headset pre-load. Apply a thin layer of carbon paste to the stem/handlebar interface to improve grip and reduce noise. Ensure all clamps are torqued to spec.
Ensure both the stem clamp and handlebar are clean and free of grease. Apply carbon assembly paste. Re-torque stem bolts to the manufacturer's recommended specification using a torque wrench.
Setup: Ensure your stem has a 35mm clamp diameter to match the handlebar.

Properly torque the brake and shifter clamps to the handlebar.
Compatibility: This handlebar is compatible with all stems featuring a 35mm clamp diameter. Ensure your brake levers, shifters, and grips are designed to fit a handlebar with the specified diameter and width.
Care: Clean the handlebar regularly with mild soap and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the carbon finish. Inspect the handlebar periodically for any signs of damage, such as cracks or deep scratches, especially after a crash. If any damage is found, the handlebar should be replaced immediately.
