31.8mm vs. 35mm Handlebars - Stiffer is Not Better for MTB Handlebars

Not all handlebars are created equal.

Over the years we've ridden countless handlebars on over 100 test bikes and have learned that the hype isn't always real. As riders who have suffered hand fatigue, arm pump and general discomfort due to overly stiff bars, we have had multiple conversations with both professional riders and brand representatives agreeing with us that they personally prefer 31.8mm handlebars when it comes to comfort and ride quality on their own bikes.

That's why we made this video to showcase a few very popular options on the market as well as some of our favorite bars. If you've suffered from aching fingers, hand cramps or arm pump, don't assume it's your suspension, tire pressure, or personal strength that's to blame. It could very well be that overly stiff handlebars that were spec'd on your bike are rattling those joints and muscles too much.
