Our patented oval bar design is more compliant. This reduces hand fatigue and gives OneUp bars their unique feel.
We benchmarked the V1 OneUp Carbon Handlebars against the most popular carbon bars on the market. The results were a 21% increase in vertical compliance (comfort) and a 28% increase in steering stiffness (responsiveness).
The V2 Carbon Handlebar further improves on the V1’s success, and provides even more vertical compliance.
In the 800mm width, the V2 Carbon Handlebar is 13% more compliant than the V1 OneUp bar. The new dedicated 760mm width is 33% more compliant than a V1 OneUp bar that’s cut to 760mm.
The V2 Carbon Handlebar utilizes our patented oval profile that allows the bars to flex exactly where and how we want them to. This maximizes steering response while minimizing arm pump and vibration.
As you cut down a bar, you lose some leverage, which reduces how much the bar moves (when the same amount of force is applied).
With an 800mm bar, you need to make it strong enough to accommodate the maximum possible leverage.
The reduced leverage means that we can make the 760 just as strong and just as compliant, because we don’t need to account for the increased leverage/ force that occurs with an 800mm bar.
We have made the V2 bars easier than ever to set up. The thicker line, second one from the front, aligns the rise of the bars directly upwards when the line points directly up.
Some riders prefer to have the rise of the bars parallel to their forks. To set the bars up like this, just align the thicker line with the fork steerer (this will mean rolling the bars towards the back of the bike from the directly up position).
Grips that use dual clamps, a single inboard clamp, or are push-on grips, are compatible. Only grips with a single outboard clamp, like the Ergon GP1, are not compatible.
6Nm for the stem clamp and 5Nm for the controls (brakes, shifter, and grips).
The 800mm V2 Carbon bars can be cut down to a minimum of 740mm, and the 760mm V2 Carbon bars can be cut down to a minimum of 720mm. Any narrower and you risk clamping your controls onto the ovalized flex zone of the bar. Doing so could compromise the integrity of the bar.
Decals do not come pre-installed, they are available separately. The gloss black OneUp logo on the bars acts as a guide to help you position a decal kit if you choose to customize the look of your bars.

"I used v1, which was really good, and I love using v2. Great handlebars, for me perfect in 50mm rise. I love the looks of it as well. The only really small complaint they scratch a bit easily, but overall amazing product. Different color stickers help to customize it as well, so a perfect match with different bikes can be achieved!"
"It looks and feels like a really well made handlebar. Even the 50mm rise version looks sleek. The markings for midline and rotation are a welcome feature! As for the advertised compliance- my wrists don’t feel the difference I was hoping for."
"Ho acquistato questo manubrio perché soffro molto le vibrazioni in velocità sulle brake bumps. Il sistema di smorzamento delle vibrazioni è davvero incredibile. Braccia spalle e mani molto meno affaticate dopo le lunghe giornate in park. Dona una posizione a me molto confortevole in bici, in oltre sono un patito della rotazione in avanti del manubrio e questo ha una forma super confortevole. E poi è davvero troppo bello. Penso ne acquisteró un altro per la mia E-MTB"
"Légèreté, confort ce cintre est incroyable cela change mon pilotage clairement merci One up Je recommande"
"Really like this bar , nice flex & feel. Looks neat too."
"Cutting it to 780mm perfect fit and feel Custom decals allow a nice finish"
"Very good and comfy bar. It had good reviews and i wasn't wrong when i bought it"
"Really brings the comfort Excelent product quality"
"Another 5 star product. The correct lenght and rise with a perfect absortion of all vibrations."
