Gusset Slade handlebar


THE UPDATED VERSION of Gusset's aggro all-rounder holds its position in our cockpit charts as well as it holds your position on the trail. The 760mm width boosts steering leverage and there are cut marks if you keep clipping trees.

The extra width has been added without affecting its balance of accurate feedback and shock absorption too. On the trail that means decent traction information transmission without tiring slap and sting blowing your arms up on rocky trails. The backsweep and upsweep are pretty neutral so it feels natural from the start, and the red, black and blue colour options are the only remotely bruising part of this well-priced 'everything you need' bar. We've seen Slades survive serious slams and it comes with a two-year limited warranty too.

Weight 320g
Width 760mm
Rise 19mm
Backsweep 8°
Upsweep 5°

PRICE 65$
