V2 Carbon Handlebar
Same Shape. More Compliance.
Our patented oval bar design is more compliant. This reduces hand fatigue and gives OneUp bars their unique feel.
FAQ
How does the OneUp V2 Carbon Handlebar compare to other carbon handlebars on the market in terms of comfort and responsiveness?
We have bench marked our OneUp Carbon Handlebars against the most popular carbon bars on the market and the results were a 21% increase in vertical compliance (comfort) coupled with a 28% increase in steering stiffness (responsiveness). These are more than just marginal gains and make the OneUp Carbon Handlebar one of the most comfortable and responsive bars on the market.
The V2 Carbon Handlebar is 13% more compliant than the V1 bar (800mm) and the new 760mm length is 30% more compliant than the V1 bar cut to 760mm.
Do the decals come pre-installed?
The decals do not come installed. They are shipped on two sheets with a few other decal options for you. The lasered Gloss black "ONE" logo on the bars is a guide to help you position the colors decal kit.
What are the dimensions of the OneUp V2 Carbon Handlebar?
The OneUp V2 Carbon Handlebars both have a 35mm diameter and a sweep of 8° back and 5° up.
How much does the OneUp V2 Carbon Handlebar weigh?
760x20: 220g
760x35: 220g
800x20: 235g
800x35: 235g
800x50: 265g
How does the OneUp Carbon Handlebar minimize arm pump and vibration?
The OneUp Carbon Handlebar minimizes arm pump and vibration with its patented oval shape which combines the best ride characteristics of 31.8mm and 35mm bar standards into one package. This shape maximizes steering response while minimizing arm pump and vibration.
How does the OneUp Carbon Handlebar help decrease hand pain when riding mountain bikes?
The OneUp Carbon Handlebar minimizes hand pain by providing a more comfortable and compliant ride. The bar's patented oval shape combines the best ride characteristics of 31.8mm and 35mm bar standards into one package, maximizing steering response while minimizing arm pump and vibration. This leads to less fatigue and hand pain during long rides.
How short can I cut these bars down?
The 800mm V2 bars can be cut down to a minimum of 740mm, and the 760mm V2 bars can be cut down to a minimum of 720mm. Any further and you risk clamping your controls onto the ovalized flex zone of the bar. Doing so could compromise the integrity of the bar.
What grips are compatible with the bars?
Only grips that have a single outboard clamp, such as the Ergon GP1, are not compatible. All other grips that use either dual clamps, or a single inboard clamp (like our awesome grips), are compatible.
What is the torque spec on these bars?
Max torque specs for our carbon bars is 6Nm for the stem clamp and 5Nm for the controls (brakes, shifter, and grips). Grips with a single outer clamp are also not compatible with our carbon bars.
What do the numbers on the bar mean? How do I set the bar roll correctly?
We have changed the reference lines on the V2 bars to make setting them up easier. There's a thicker line, the second one from the front, that 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 point the thicker line in the same direction as the top of the fork steerer (this will mean rolling the bars towards the back of the bike from the directly up position).
Why/how can a 760mm bar be made more compliant than a cut-down 800?
When load is applied closer to the fixed point (stem), there is less leverage on the bar. This means that the bar doesn’t need to be as strong to withstand the same magnitude of loading.
