RaceFace Next SL Carbon Handlebar

XC riding is changing – Bikes, trails and riders are all progressing and pushing boundaries. Our new Next SL bar was designed to reduce rider fatigue without compromising handling. This bar allows good vertical flex for comfort, while also eliminating bad horizontal flex to improve steering precision.

These bars come in a trail friendly 740mm width, with our tried and true 8⁰ back + 5⁰ up sweeps. Have the need for a narrower bar? You can trim up to 25mm per side with our handy cut marks.

The Next SL is among the lightest 35 bars in the XC Trail category - 167 grams in fact. The 35mm diameter allows us to create confidence inspiring bars both in weight and strength.

The Next SL bars are constructed from unidirectional carbon, in a layup we formulated that wipes out the bad horizontal flex that leads to poor steering precision.
