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.

"Other reviews dont lie. Stiff for the climbs, compliant on the rough stuff. 760mm was perfect width. Im 5'7, long arms, short legs/torso. 800mm never felt right, always ended up narrowing where I place my hands. 760mm felt perfect and I get less stiff wrist feeling the morning after I ride,. im 39yo, joints are starting to creak."
"Extra rise feels great Wasn’t really buying them for the extra flex as carbon products are normally quite rigid. I would say my aluminum bars were more flexible than these ones I might try adjusting the angle of the bars in the clamp to see if they have a little bit more flex but the writing position is much better, especially while standing and descending. dropper post is great the extra travel of the 210 mm over my previous 175 is much better"
"Due to long term medical issues vibrations when riding my bike make my vision go blurry. These handlebars have really helped keeping my vision clearer and have way exceeded my expectations."
"Only one weekend of riding these bars but happy with them so far. Nice and light and feel strong. Notices some vibration dampening compared to the previous aluminum ones."
"Perfect Rise and great compliance, mated with the sweet stubby stem, my whip is dialed."
"Great stem and bar combo form a good Canadian company"
"Excellent compliance and rise was perfect for me"
"Genuinely noticed less fatigue on longer runs. Looks really good and feels like a super quality product"
"Great bar , great product Really happy"
"Super light shock absorbing tech seems to work. Hands don’t get numb as fast."
