PNW RANGE 800

Range Handlebar Gen 3, 800 mm width, 31.8 mm clamp, 30 mm rise, Safety Orange

Ergonomic vs. Fashion
While the industry leans towards frames with longer reach and wider handlebars, the stretched position this creates for the rider is not always beneficial. With a 10° backsweep and 5° upsweep, the Range handlebar provides a more ergonomic riding position that spares your shoulders and reduces wrist fatigue.

Material Matters
The Range is made from 2014 aluminum alloy (2014-T73 heat treated alloy), a trail-friendly material that mimics the springy properties of carbon. However, aluminum is more affordable, durable, and less finicky when it comes to crashes.

The Numbers Behind Comfort
While it's no secret that bike frame designers prefer longer reaches and we all enjoy the stability of wider handlebars, the new pressure points that these trends create for high-impact areas like the old bird bones often overlook your wrist. The Range handlebar addresses this issue with a design that places you in a more comfortable position.

10° Backsweep and 5° Upsweep
This combination helps position your shoulder blades in a more neutral position, especially when climbing, and can help reduce unwanted wrist fatigue when descending.

30 mm Rise
Just like a good sourdough bread, the rise of a handlebar is another crucial component of the equation. We chose 30 mm to keep your front end low enough for bikes with longer travel while providing a good height for the increasingly popular trail rigs with 120-140 mm travel.
