High-rise handlebars are literally popping up everywhere, from the DH World Cup circuit to the bikes of core riders looking for better control on steep descents and improved pedalling comfort. For 2025, Race Face introduces the Era 55mm Rise Handlebar, expanding our Era GL Tuned carbon handlebar lineup with a confidence-inspiring, fatigue-reducing, high-rise option.
SIT HIGHER. DESCEND HARDER. RIDE LONGER.
More riders are exploring the benefits of high-rise handlebars in trail and enduro applications. A higher bar positions riders in a way that better absorbs impacts, maintains control in steep terrain, and allows them to adopt a more ergonomic posture on long climbs. Until now, high-rise options with premium ride quality were limited - but that changes with the Era 55mm Rise Handlebar. – the highest rise carbon bar on the market.
