Specialized Roval Control SL MTB Handlebar

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

It's light… Like, 185 g 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 780 mm width allows you to dial in your perfect size, and it's World Championship proven geometry gives the confidence to attack any segment.

The Stiffest Competition: Designed around a 35 mm 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 g at 780 mm, consider all of your dreams of the lightest, most agile race bike realized.

Fit: Backed by their championship-proven fit and geometry, Specialized has dialed in the perfect riding position with 6 deg. of up sweep, 8 deg. of back sweep, and a choice between 0 or 20 mm of rise.
