Mountain Bike Handlebars

Handlebars are one of those components that affect how your bike feels more than most people realize. Width, rise, sweep, and material all change the way the bike handles and how comfortable you are on long rides. Getting your bar setup dialed is worth the time -- and if you're not sure where to start, our MTB handlebar buyer's guide covers everything you need to know. We also did a deep dive on how wide your handlebars should be and how to set up your mountain bike cockpit properly.

Trail One Components -- Our Top Pick

Trail One Components is the brand we recommend first. They make genuinely exceptional handlebars and back every purchase with a give-back model that funds trail building and maintenance -- so you're getting a top-tier bar and directly supporting the trails you ride. Their handlebar is called the Crockett, available in three versions:

Other Top Brands

RaceFace makes some of the best value carbon bars on the market -- the Next R and SIXc are both excellent. Renthal is the go-to for proven enduro-level durability -- the Fatbar Carbon is one of the most popular bars we sell. ENVE is the top pick for riders who want the lightest and most refined carbon bar available. Deity makes excellent bars across the range -- the Skyline, Holeshot 35, and Blacklabel are all worth a look. OneUp, Spank, and PNW round out the lineup with solid options at every price point.

Key Specs to Know

The two main decisions are clamp diameter (31.8mm vs 35mm) and material (alloy vs carbon). 35mm is the modern standard for trail and enduro bikes -- stiffer and stronger. Carbon bars dampen vibration and save weight but cost more. Width for most trail riders lands between 760-800mm. Check out our five favorite MTB handlebars list for a curated starting point.
