With wider handlebars now standard on modern mountain bikes, the 35mm clamp diameter helps increase strength at the stem interface while spreading clamping loads across a larger surface area. This creates a more secure connection, improved durability and greater confidence when riding demanding terrain.
The advanced carbon fibre layup is engineered to provide maximum strength around the clamp area while allowing controlled flex and damping at the bar ends. This helps reduce fatigue, improve comfort and maintain control over rough trails, rock gardens, roots and long descents.
Available in 780mm and 800mm widths, with a 30mm rise, 6-degree upsweep and 8-degree backsweep, the Specialized Traverse SL 35 Handlebar gives riders a confident and natural riding position. At just 227g, it is light enough for XC racers yet tough enough for riders tackling technical trail and enduro routes.
