Race Face Respond 1/2in Riser Handlebar

Race Face Respond 1/2in Riser Handlebar adds control and confidence on rowdy descents

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"This bar has been a workhorse on my park and shuttle bike. The shape is spot-on—comfortable sweep with just enough rise to center my weight. It takes a beating, and I haven’t noticed any harshness despite it being alloy. Big value for gravity riding."

The Race Face Respond 1/2in Riser Handlebar is built to handle heavy-hitting descents and gravity-fed days with strength, control, and all-day ride feel. Designed for downhill and all-mountain use, it’s constructed from durable aluminum and tuned with a geometry that supports a confident position at speed.

Its 758mm width offers serious leverage in steep terrain, while the 13mm (.5in) rise and 9° backsweep/4° upsweep combo keeps things comfortable for long laps at the bike park or shuttle trail. Whether you´re hammering down technical lines or pushing into big corners, the Respond bar delivers control without compromising comfort.
