Atlas 35mm Handlebar 2026
Parameters
Description
The Race Face Atlas 35 Handlebar is built for riders who need a cockpit component that stays precise in steep, fast, and highly technical terrain. This model is aimed at all mountain, enduro, gravity, and eMTB use, where front-end control and durability matter just as much as overall ride feel. With its 35 mm clamp diameter and 7000-series aluminum construction, Atlas is positioned as a tough alloy bar for aggressive mountain bike setups.
A key feature of the updated Atlas is Goldilocks Tune (GL Tune). Race Face uses this term to describe a carefully balanced relationship between compliance and stiffness. In practical terms, the handlebar is intended to feel not too harsh and not too soft, delivering a more controlled ride while helping maintain precise steering on rough, high-speed terrain. That makes it relevant for riders spending time on rock gardens, roots, braking bumps, bike park tracks, and demanding enduro stages.
The Atlas 35 is offered in 20 mm, 40 mm, and 55 mm rise options, making it easier to fine-tune handlebar height and overall rider position. Its 800 mm width, with the option to trim down to 760 mm, gives riders flexibility when setting up their cockpit for body size, riding style, and bike geometry. The bar uses 8° backsweep and 5° upsweep, which aligns with modern aggressive MTB preferences.
This is a strong option for riders who want a durable aluminum bar instead of carbon, without giving up fit options. Race Face also offers the Atlas in seven anodized colors, making it easier to match the cockpit visually to the rest of the bike. The stated maximum stem clamp width is 94 mm, and Race Face says it is compatible with most direct mount stems. The listed weight for the 40 mm rise version is 318 g.
