Arm pump be gone!
"Really makes a difference. After a day of hardcore downhill my arms still feel great where as before I could barely move. Definitely worth the upgrade."
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.

"Really makes a difference. After a day of hardcore downhill my arms still feel great where as before I could barely move. Definitely worth the upgrade."
"I recently replaced my Renthal Fatbar handlebar with the OneUp V2 Carbon Handlebar on my MTB, and I’m very happy with the upgrade. It feels more comfortable and has helped reduce fatigue and numbness in my arms and shoulders. I’m really enjoying the improved feel and comfort on my rides!"
"Excellent carbon bar for my ebike. Real difference over the aluminum, my hands appreciate the difference and not to so numb."
"Replaced my alloy bars on my SC Hightower with these and absolutely love them. They look and ride great!"
"Purchasing from OneUp is always a GREAT experience. As for the V2 Carbon Bars 50mm, I have purchased 4! They are the perfect par for comfort, compliance, and turned my ebike into a pleasure ride in every way. I highly recommend them!"
"I really liked, I change my V1 One Up 35mm carbon bar for this 50mm, and it fits me betterI, I am very satisfied!"
"Fantastic handlebar. Much more comfortable then the one-piece bar/stem it replaced on my bike. Very well tuned, haven't experienced any weird flex or deflection. I double checked the markings when installing the bar and they are are dead on!"
"Fast shipping and some sick components for my new bike!"
"I love my V2! The rise is helpful as I am 66 years old and need to sit up a bit now. I went from aluminum to carbon fiber and added ergonomic grips and the combination of all of that has helped with some wrist pain I was having."
"Awesome. I needed more rise and I got it. Making rides more comfortable."
