Truvativ Jerome Clementz BlackBox handlebar


THE SIGNATURE BAR of enduro racing legend Jerome Clementz is unsurprisingly aggressive in shape. The 750mm width is a happy medium in terms of power-assisted leverage and tree dodging on tighter technical trails, but it's chop marked if you do want to cut it.

The seven-degree backsweep means a more aggressive, forward-weighted feel to your bike too. The low 20mm rise also encourages you to ram your bike down the throat of any trail trouble. The extended large-diameter rise section gives a rock solid feel with precise and very accurate feedback. It's a lot more forgiving over big hits than you'd expect though, and won't beat you up even on long black run descents with a ton of sustained braking. This all comes at a very high cost though.
