Frequently asked questions
Can I trim the Era handlebars to my preferred size?
Yes, the Era Handlebar is fully trimmable to your preferred width. It is available in three factory configurations—760mm, 780mm, and 800mm—which allows most riders to find their ideal fit directly out of the box. If you choose to customize the width, the bar is designed to maintain its performance characteristics and structural integrity when properly trimmed.
Does the carbon fiber design require professional installation?
While the Era Handlebar is designed for durability and ease of use, it is a high-performance carbon component. To ensure the best experience and long-term integrity, keep these assembly tips in mind: <ul><li>Stem Compatibility: Verify your stem clamp width does not exceed 60mm; these are not compatible with wide-format direct mount stems.</li><li>Torque Specs: Always use a torque wrench to ensure you do not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended clamping force.</li><li>Carbon Prep: Use a high-quality carbon assembly paste to ensure a secure, slip-free fit without over-tightening.</li></ul>
Can these bars help eliminate arm pump?
Yes. The Era handlebar is specifically engineered to reduce arm pump and hand fatigue. Many riders have reported a significant improvement in comfort and a noticeable reduction in soreness after long, technical rides.
Is the carbon design intentional for high-speed riding?
Yes. The bar was developed specifically to let you ride harder and faster. By reducing the harsh feedback from the trail, it allows you to maintain better control and focus during aggressive descents.
How does the handlebar feel on rough trails?
Riders describe the feel as ‘quiet’ and compliant. The carbon construction excels at dampening trail chatter, providing a smooth and controlled experience even when riding fast through chunky terrain.
Is this a significant weight upgrade from aluminum?
Users who have switched from aluminum to the Era carbon bars report that they are substantially lighter, helping to improve the overall handling and feel of the bike.
