The 3rd generation of the Range MTB handlebars from PNW Components uses 2014 aluminum, which is not only a high-quality but also a cost-effective alternative to carbon thanks to its similar damping properties. Compared to its predecessor, the weight has also been reduced by 25 grams.
While the width of 800 mm guarantees excellent handling, the tapered riser handlebar ensures high stability. The clever combination of rise, backsweep and upsweep not only puts your arms and shoulders in a more relaxed position, but also gives you more control on the trail.

ERGONOMIC vs FASHION
While the industry tends to favor frames with longer reach and wider handlebars, the stretched position this puts the rider in is not always advantageous.
With a 10° backsweep and 5° upsweep, the Range handlebar creates a more ergonomic riding position that is easier on your shoulders and reduces wrist fatigue.
MATERIAL IS CRUCIAL
The Range is made of 2014 aluminum alloy (2014-T73 heat treated alloy), a trail-friendly material that resembles the resilient properties of carbon. However, aluminum is cheaper, more durable and less sensitive to crashes.
THE NUMBERS BEHIND COMFORT
While it's no secret that bike frame designers favor longer reach and we all enjoy the stability provided by wider handlebars, the new pressure points these trends have created for high-impact areas like the old bird bones often leave your wrist out of the discussion. The Range handlebar addresses this issue with a design that puts you in a more comfortable position.
10° BACK-SWEEP AND 5° UPSWEEP This combination helps put your shoulder blades in a more neutral position, especially when climbing, and can help reduce unwanted wrist fatigue downhill.30MM RISE Like a good loaf of sourdough bread, the rise of a handlebar is another important part of the equation. We chose 30mm to keep your front end low enough on the longer travel bikes while providing good height for the increasingly popular 120-140mm travel trail rigs.
