Deity Components Ridgeline 35 25mm Riser Handlebar Blue, One Size

When the engineers at Deity crafted the Ridgeline 35 25mm Riser Handlebar, we suspect they were going for a bar that you completely forget is there underneath you. No — we aren't its implying, or that its weightless, but rather that it sits at a comfortable rise, with just the right sweep, keeping you perched just where you want to be in the cockpit, so you're not thinking about discomfort in your wrists or hands while you're charging a line into sweeping banked berms. They are built from high-quality 7075 T73-grade aluminum, and feature a beefy 35-millimeter bore for stiff control when you're booking it into techy rock sections, that tapers off to prevent jarring vibrations from the trail from numbing your mitts. This is achieved with Gradient Butting Technology that allows Deity's engineers to remove excess material in areas of less stress and fatigue, so your hands don't fall asleep when the trail gets particularly rowdy. Deity offers the Ridgeline with two different rise options, this one lands with 5-degrees upsweep and 9-degrees backsweep for a total of 25mm rise. This lifts you just enough to keep you in a sweet spot for enduro riding, a little more upight than you'd go for in a speedy XC application, so you've got more comfort on long rides, and power to spot your line for attacking the next turn. The bars come with a lofty, 800-millimeter width for dispersing the load, but feature notches for trimming the bars to the perfect width for your own personal riding style.
