The Thomson Carbon Riser MTB Handlebar is an premium, high-performance cockpit upgrade engineered for dedicated trail and all-mountain riders who demand precise steering and vibration dampening. By utilizing aerospace-grade Toray carbon fiber and an innovative EPS mandrel molding process, these bars deliver an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio; however, the 35mm clamp standard requires a compatible stem, making it a specialized choice for modern bike builds.

No. These handlebars are specifically designed for a 35mm clamp diameter and will not fit a standard 31.8mm stem.
While highly durable and designed for aggressive trail and all-mountain use, they are primarily built for all-mountain and trail applications.
Use a fine-toothed hacksaw designed for carbon. Wrap the cut area in masking tape to prevent fraying and ensure a clean, perpendicular cut.
Yes. Always follow the torque specifications provided by your stem manufacturer and never exceed the maximum torque marked on the bar.
It provides a smooth internal surface for the carbon layup, preventing the wrinkles that can occur with cheaper, air-bladder-based molding methods.
Clean the interface of any oil, apply a dedicated carbon fiber grip paste, and ensure the stem bolts are tightened to the correct torque specification.
Remove the faceplate, clean all contact surfaces, apply a fresh layer of carbon assembly paste, and re-torque the stem bolts in a cross-pattern.
Installation should be performed using a calibrated torque wrench to ensure the 35mm stem clamp is tightened to the manufacturer's specific recommendations. Always use carbon-safe assembly paste on the stem interface to prevent slipping without over-tightening. For care, clean with mild soap and water. Inspect the bars regularly for deep scratches or cracks, particularly after a high-speed crash. Avoid clamping accessories like lights or GPS mounts outside the recommended torque settings, and never use a pipe cutter to trim the bars; always use a fine-toothed hacksaw with a carbon-cutting blade and mask off the area with tape to prevent fiber splintering.
