The Stiffest Competition

Designed around a 35mm clamp-width, the Roval Control SL handlebar provides a stiffness that refuses to compromise through tough turns and grueling descents–giving you precise handling in any situation.

Light-weight

Built by hand with high-modulus carbon, and weighing just 185 grams at 780mm, consider all of your dreams of the lightest, most agile race bike realized.

Fit

Backed by our championship-proven fit and geometry, we’ve dialed in the perfect riding position with 6-degrees of up sweep, 8-degrees of back sweep, and a choice between 0 or 20mm of rise.

Product Details

For XC racing, stiffness equals speed. That’s 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.

It’s light… Like, 185 grams light.

But, light-weight and stiffness aren’t 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 SL’s 780mm width allows you to dial in your perfect size, and it’s World Championship proven geometry gives the confidence to attack any segment.

Do NOT buy these if you plan on cutting them down in width

These are marked to be cut all the way down to 720mm, but at that width, there is not enough room to push your brakes in far enough as the bars start to taper to 35mm way too soon. The Specialized rep told me to cut two inches off of my grips to make room for my brakes which I'm not willing to do and seems like a really poor/unsafe solution. Specialized, please make sure to leave enough room for brake clamps if you're going to suggest cutting the bars to a certain length. My Bontrager Kovee XXX bars work perfectly fine with room to spare at 720mm wide. Sadly, now I'll have to keep running those.
