Bontrager Introduces One Piece RSL Bar/Stem

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…

Details

  • OCLV Carbon construction is the benchmark for durability and light weight
  • Compatibility with Knock Block and standard headset types (adapter included)
  • Seamless accessory integration with Blendr (mounts sold separately)
  • Shifter and brake lever position lines for spot-on control setup – 40mm trim lines allow for a personalized fit
  • Titanium hardware is lightweight and long-lasting
  • 750mm width X -13mm stem drop X 0mm bar rise: 70mm, 80mm & 90mm stem lengths
  • 820mm width X 0mm stem rise X 27.5mm mm bar rise: 35mm, & 45mm stem lengths
