For XC racing, stiffness equals speed. Thats what drove our thinking when building the Roval Control SL handlebar. Borrowing inspiration from trail bike tech, we knew a 35mm bar clamp width would give us the rigidity our athletes demanded, and function as the backbone for our ultra-light, hand laid up carbon.

Its light Like, 185 grams light.

But, light-weight and stiffness arent the only pieces of the puzzle. Riders also need high-precision control while descending, and a comfortable, sustainable position on grueling climbs. The Roval Control SLs 780mm width allows you to dial in your perfect size, and its World Championship proven geometry gives the confidence to attack any segment.
