The Race Face Next Riser Handlebar is a premium carbon fiber upgrade designed for cross-country (XC) and trail riders looking to shave weight while enhancing cockpit stiffness and vibration damping. By utilizing a 35mm clamp diameter, this bar delivers superior steering precision and controlled flex, though its specific geometry and oversized clamp requirement mean it is not a universal fit for every mountain bike setup.

Yes, but use a high-quality, fine-tooth hacksaw designed for carbon fiber and follow professional cutting guides to avoid splintering.
No, these handlebars are not reinforced for bar ends and using them may cause structural failure.
The 35mm clamp allows for a stiffer interface and more material optimization, which results in a lighter overall handlebar weight.
While it is durable, it is optimized for XC and Trail riding. For aggressive Enduro or Downhill, consider Race Face's dedicated gravity-focused handlebars.
No special polish is needed; however, avoid wax-based cleaners as they can cause uneven spots on the matte surface.
Ensure you are using a carbon-specific friction paste and that the stem faceplate bolts are torqued evenly to the manufacturer's specifications.
Remove the stem faceplate, clean both the bar and stem interface thoroughly, reapply friction paste, and re-torque bolts in an X-pattern.
Verify your stem is compatible with a 35mm clamp size. Standard 31.8mm stems will not work with this handlebar.
Installation of the Race Face Next Riser requires specific attention to detail due to the carbon fiber material.
