Atlas 35 35mm Rise Handlebar

7075 Aluminium is a high-strength alloy known for its durability and lightweight properties. It is commonly used in aerospace and high-performance applications. For handlebars, using 7075 Aluminium means they can withstand the rigors of mountain biking, providing better performance and longevity compared to standard aluminum alloys.

The rise of handlebars, such as a 35mm rise, elevates the handlebars from the bike's center, which can significantly impact your posture and comfort. A higher rise can help reduce strain on your back and shoulders, allowing for a more relaxed riding position, especially on rough terrain.

Sweep refers to the angle at which the handlebars curve back towards you. With an 8-degree back sweep and a 5-degree up sweep, these handlebars are designed to provide a natural hand position, enhancing comfort and control. This ergonomic design helps reduce fatigue during long rides and improves handling on technical trails.

The claimed weight, such as 10.58 ounces (300 grams) for handlebars with a 20mm rise, is crucial for performance-oriented cyclists. Lighter handlebars can improve overall bike handling and responsiveness, making it easier to maneuver on challenging trails. This can enhance your riding experience, especially in competitive settings.

These handlebars are designed for Enduro and Downhill mountain biking. Enduro involves both uphill and downhill sections, requiring strength and control, while Downhill focuses on navigating steep, challenging terrain. The design features of these handlebars ensure they can handle the demands of both riding styles, providing stability and comfort.

To ensure compatibility, check the specifications of your bike's stem and the diameter of the handlebars. Most mountain bike handlebars come in standard sizes, but it's essential to confirm that the rise, sweep, and overall length match your riding style and bike setup for optimal performance and comfort.
