Thomson Trail 31.8 x 750mm 8 Sweep 20mm Rise MTB Handlebars

If you're looking to get your hands on a light aluminium all-round bar for your mountain bike, then look no further than the Thompson Trail Bar. It's built using 7050 Aluminium alloy for strength and long life, their new Trail bar is 750mm wide with 20mm of rise, 8 of backsweep, and 5 of upsweep... The clamping area is 50mm, allowing a different bend profile for a more compliant ride than their downhill specific bar.

Bars are butted and tapered in many steps for optimal fatigue life. Ends of the bar are thickened from 1.4 to 1.6mm to resist damage from impacts and contact with the ground.

Bars are produced by advanced Hydraulic Press Forming to avoid the need for hand grinding. Almost all other bars are manually bent, and bends are ground to appear smooth. Hydraulic Press Forming ensures very consistent wall thickness and close tolerances, especially in tapered sections. This keeps weight low and fatigue life high.
