The Enve M7 MTB 35mm Handlebar is an exceptionally strong carbon fiber 35mm riser bar, that’s built to descend. It is available in 10, 25 and 40mm rise options. Gravity riding demands a wide and stiff platform for control and instant response, but not so stiff that it punishes hands and arms on long, rough descents. ENVE's 35mm clamp diameter mountain bar combines the DNA of their famous DH bar and the smooth aesthetics of our classic riser for a best-in-class ride experience. The Enve M7 MTB 35mm Handlebar is our bar for the most aggressive and demanding riders. Carbon fiber is the ideal material for a gravity bar because fiber orientation and bar shape can be controlled independently and developed in unison, resulting in a tuned flex profile that cannot be achieved with aluminum. This bar is tuned to be precise and responsive, while absorbing fatigue-inducing chatter and taking the sting out of the biggest hits. Available in a 10mm, 25mm, or 40mm rise, the Enve M7 MTB 35mm Handlebar features a trail-perfect 8° sweep and 4° tip for your long-travel 29er, enduro race bike, or downhill machine. Enve M7 MTB 35mm Handlebar Features Width and Stiffness Each ENVE bar is available in a specific width with cut lines to size the bar more appropriately for the rider. Often ENVE are asked, “Why aren’t all ENVE bars made extra wide?” It’s a good question. Each bar must pass ENVE's testing to earn its rating, requiring the wider bars to be stronger. However, if everyone is cutting those bars, the bar then becomes overbuilt and too many riders are forced to modify and resize. A subtler but equally important reason for not making each bar as wide as possible is that the width of a bar is a key element of its flex profile and feel. Like any handlebar, if the width of an ENVE bar is reduced, the stiffness increases, so we build each bar in a specific length for the optimal weight and ride quality. For the M Series bars, ENVE have actually reduced the recommended cut lengths in order to guide more riders to the correct bar. Rise The M Series handlebar line includes additional low and high-rise versions in key models to ensure that you can achieve a perfect riding position. As well as adjusting the height of your cockpit, the compound angles used to create the rise also provide a wider range of hand positions as you roll the bar forward or back in the stem. This is why you will see minimum rise 7.5 and 10mm options available for riders who need a low position, but demand the adjustability of a riser. Clamp Diameter ENVE now offers bars in the two most popular stem clamp diameters; 31.8 and 35.0mm. When choosing your next bar, consider these points. ENVE's Trail category M5 and M6 bars are all 31.8mm. This size allows them to achieve the optimum, compliant-yet-responsive flex profile for trail use while also minimizing weight. The M9 Gravity bars are also 31.8mm. Professional DH riders love them and still prefer their feel when combined with stiffer double crown forks on rougher tracks. The M7 bar features a 35mm clamp diameter for riders who want a stiffer feel for ultimate precision when attacking big terrain on long-travel bikes. The M7 also has an ‘oversize’ aesthetic which some riders find well-suited to a gravity bike. Enve M7 MTB 35mm Handlebar Specifications LOW-RISE (10mm)
