ENVE Components Riser handlebar


ENVE HAVE AN enviable position at the top of the carbon fibre component aristocracy through their work with Santa Cruz and others. The lightweight Riser bar performs accordingly but is priced that way too.

The 23mm rise is levelled out to more like 20mm at the grips thanks to a slightly lower outer rise than normal. The nine-degree backsweep gives a classic wrist position and the 740mm width is a good leverage/clearance compromise for trail use. Add a well balanced, shock shrugging but never bouncy or vague feel and it's a bar that disappears quickly from your ride radar and just lets you get on with nailing the trail. That big white logo will make sure everyone knows you've paid a high price for the privilege though.
