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.

"Makes my damaged wrists feel less damaged! Jokes aside, I have chronic Arthrosis from crashes, and every edge I can have makes it possible to ride more, and more aggressive. I am at my second Oneup Carbon bar, this new model is both sexy (profile, matte black with glossy black logos) and so far it feels amazing, and most importantly I can hold my post-ride beer."
"Genuinely noticed less fatigue on longer runs. Looks really good and feels like a super quality product"
"Great bar , great product Really happy"
"Bought for my enduro bike but installed in on my new RM Blizzard C2 instead when I was getting consistent neck pain during and after rides. Difficult to say whether it's the extra rise, compliance or both but I have had zero issues since installing. The bar is great looking and almost as light as a balloon."
"Absolutely loving the v2 bars and one up stem on my ebike made a huge difference in vibrational feed back threw the bars, and they even feel like a upgrade to the v1s im running on my none ebike! 5/5 would recommend to any rider."
"Super happy to go to a higher rise. Great option if you had arm pump or hand fatigue."
"Great service awesome product."
"Went from 20 mm rise original OneUp carbon bar at 770, to the 50 mm rise at 800. The extra bit of heighth makes all the difference in postioning and control. Feels like less vibration, as well. And looks much better on my Banshee! Another great OneUp product."
"Makes a big difference compared to my old aluminium handlebar"
"Beautiful and perfectly compliant. Best handlebar I've ever used in 30 years of riding and racing mountain bikes."
