The 7 Best Mountain Bike Handlebars 2023

OneUp Components Carbon 35 Handlebar

The OneUp Components Carbon 35 Handlebar uses a large diameter 35mm clamp and center section combined with a carefully ovalized shape in the transition zone to create a bar with "best of all worlds" control and compliance. Tested against other popular carbon bars and foam injected aluminum bars, the increases in steering stiffness AND vertical compliance were measurably impressive. If big descents are your jam but your body could use some help with the vibrations, check out the OneUp Carbon 35 and see what all the talk is about.

Race Face Atlas Handlebar

A cult-classic within the downhill community, the Race Face Atlas Handlebar comes in a 785mm width that makes navigating tricky terrain a breeze. Offered in both 0.5" and 1.25" rises, these cold drawn aluminum bars are certainly worthy of their gargantuan reputation.

Tag Metals T1 Aluminum Handlebar

The Tag Metals T1 Aluminum Handlebar is a high quality aluminum bar made from incredibly durable aerospace grade aluminum. With 5° upsweep and 7° backsweep, this bar hits the sweet spot for precise control and all-day comfort.

Tenet Bodem Carbon V2 Handlebar

Wrangle your steed with the Tenet Bodem Carbon V1.5 Handlebar, a DH-worthy bar that's comfortable in shape and construction. Strong enough to handle neck-snapping drops, this handlebar has enough sweep to ensure you'll be riding until last chairlift. And with the included sticker packs, you're going to find a complementary color combo to suit your aesthetic needs too.
