Enve Carbon SWP flat bar - 760mm

Enve's take on the wide, flat handlebars so popular with larger wheel XC mountain bikes is the Carbon SWP (Sweep) Flat Bar. This 31.8mm clamp diameter carbon beauty has a 9° sweep through its full 760mm length. Enve knows not everyone needs or desires a bar that wide, so you have ability to cut it down to 680mm, an anywhere in between. As you'd expect, there are clearly marked cut lines by the centimeter on both ends. At 189 grams, Enve has created a light bar, but not the lightest. That is purposeful, as lightest is rarely greatest. A mountain carbon flat bar has to offer stiffness end to end, yet also a touch of vertical compliance and the ability to mitigate the high frequency vibrations that would otherwise sap the rider's energy and hand strength over the course of a long XC trail ride or race.

Enve also built the SWP Carbon Flat Bar for max versatility- from XC to Enduro, and it is seriously popular for 29er riders of all disciplines. Enve's carbon composite story is well known, and the same continuous length carbon lay-up and laminate construction is employed for the SWP. Enve's internal testing is thorough, and all Enve products are tested by third-party labs to ensure that all US and EU safety standards are met. At $160 you get Enve's high quality construction and proven capabilities that outstrip many carbon bars that cost much more.
