Race Face Aeffect 35 20mm Rise Handlebar

Lucky number 35.

We don´t see any reason why the trail and XC crowd shouldn´t benefit from the added peace of mind afforded by oversized handlebars. Race Face agrees, and the Aeffect 35 20mm Rise Handlebar gives those of us on the hardtail, four-, or five-inch side of things a beefy bar option. It´s obviously not for XC racing, but if you´re more interested in gear durability than in counting grams, then 35 may just be your lucky number.

The Aeffect 35´s titular 35mm clamp section all-but eliminates the risk of bar failure due to over-clamping or over-torqueing. Triple-butting further reinforces high-stress areas while thinning the tube walls wherever possible to keep the claimed weight at a reasonable 335g. It´s not the lightest bar, but it´s also built to withstand a hell of a lot more abuse than featherweight carbon bars. The Aeffect´s longevity is boosted by a round of shot-peening, which further increases the cold-drawn, 2014 aluminum´s already stout fatigue resistance.
