Roval Control SL 35mm Handlebar
XC Carbon Handlebar · 185g · 35mm Clamp · 780mm Width · World Championship Proven

For XC racing, stiffness equals speed. The Roval Control SL handlebar is built around a 35mm bar clamp width — borrowed from trail bike tech — that delivers the rigidity World Cup athletes demand. Ultra-light hand-laid carbon construction brings it in at just 185g, and the 780mm width with cut marks lets you dial in your perfect size. World Championship proven geometry gives you the confidence to attack any segment.

  • 185g: Ultra-lightweight XC carbon — hand laid up, built for speed.
  • 35mm Clamp: Trail-derived stiffness — maximum control under load.
  • 780mm Width: Includes cut marks — dial in your exact width.
  • 0mm or 20mm Rise: Two options for your XC geometry preference.
  • World Championship Proven: Race-tested geometry at the highest level.
  • 6° Upsweep / 8° Backsweep: XC-optimized ergonomic position.

The 35mm clamp diameter is the key differentiator — standard bars use 31.8mm. The wider clamp spreads the clamping force over a larger area, resulting in less bar flex under load. When you're sprinting out of the saddle or hammering through rock gardens, that stiffness translates directly to more precise handling.

35mm vs. 31.8mm Clamp — Why It Matters
The 35mm clamp is borrowed from trail/enduro mountain bike technology — it's stiffer than the standard 31.8mm road clamp because it distributes clamping force over a larger area. This means less bar flex when you're putting down power or hitting rough terrain. The trade-off is compatibility: you need a 35mm stem to mount this bar, not a standard 31.8mm stem. Make sure your stem matches the clamp diameter.
0mm vs. 20mm Rise — How to Choose
The 0mm rise is for riders running a low, aggressive XC position — minimal stack height, more forward over the bars. The 20mm rise is for riders who want a slightly more upright position — common on longer-travel XC bikes or riders who prefer less strain on their back and shoulders. If you're not sure, the 0mm is the more common choice for pure race builds.
185g — Ultra-Light for XC
At 185g, the Control SL is one of the lightest XC bars available. The 35mm clamp doesn't add weight — it actually allows Roval to use less material elsewhere while maintaining stiffness. The hand-laid carbon construction is optimized for the lowest weight without sacrificing the strength and durability required for World Cup racing.
