Roval Control SL Bicycle Handlebar

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

The Roval Control SL Bicycle Handlebar is 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.
