(BRAIN) — Newmen expanded its handlebar lineup with the Phase carbon bars. They were developed for all mountain biking disciplines, from cross-country to downhill.
The Phase handlebars are offered in width and rise options and clamp diameters of 31.8mm or 35mm. They start at 166 grams.
The new lineup is available with the VariGrip System, allowing riders to adjust the bar width precisely within seconds, according to the brand, without having to cut. It utilizes threads inside the bar and proprietary grips with a lock-on collar. The rider can rotate the grips to shorten or lengthen the width before retightening.
The range of widths are 710mm-760mm for the XC-Trail bar and 760mm-810mm for the Enduro-Downhill bar.
Backsweep and upsweep are both 8 degrees, with no limit on system weight. The XC-Trail is available now and the Enduro-DH will follow on Dec. 15. Depending on the model, retail prices range from $199-$219.
