Bontrager just announced something rather unexpected – an ultra high end carbon fiber one piece handlebar/stem combo for XC racing and trail/enduro. The new RSL bar is available in 5 combos with varying widths, rises, and lengths. The widths are trim-able with cut line graphics sublimated onto the bars and the handlebar works with both knock block and standard headtubes.
Our 820mm X 45mm X 27.5mm rise sample arrives today for testing, so we’ll circle back in the coming months to relay our thoughts on how it rides…
