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.

"A great upgrade—noticeably smoother and more comfortable than my previous bar. It takes the edge off chatter and rough sections without feeling flexy, and my hands stay way less fatigued on longer rides. Steering feels confident and controlled, especially on descents."
"Great bars and everyone loves a great bar. The vibration dampening is noticable and has reduced fatigue while riding. Like all OneUp products a solid 10!"
"Love the bars. Getting a second par for my other bike as we speak. I think the offerings are supper strong just whish they had the 50MM rise in a 760 width. My new bike is only using the 35mm rise so I can get full compliance and a shorter width."
"If compliance is the criterion, this is a far better bar than the original (which, when cut to 760, made for a nice and light but very stiff bar). There’s noticeably less strain on hands and wrists. The amount of deflection is just right; any more and it might interfere with steering feel - but it doesn’t, any less and it would be just another light, stiff carbon bar."
"Love this handlebar it's by far the best on the market after trying it I can't use any other"
"Like the bar, was looking for something lighter to replace my stock bar on a rocky mountain element."
"While the 800mm is easy enough to trim, I do wish y'all offered the 760mm width in the 50mm rise option."
"Was getting wrist pain with my Amflow original carbon handlebars and these fixed the issue, great bars!"
"Love the bars! I used to ride with Flex Bars until I found the One-Up. With arthritis in my wrists I needed a bit of extra comfort for those technical rides and long days in the saddle. This is my third set of one-up's two 35mm rise and now the 150 rise, I love the extra control and the feeling of sitting upright a bit more. The sweep is just right and can be used to adjust the steering characteristics. I don't think I'll ever ride with any other bar after experiencing the comfort of One-Up Bars"
"Nice design, comfortable bend, and the 50mil rise takes the stress off my neck and shoulders."
