Hope Carbon Handlebar (31.8mm Clamp) - Classic Diameter, UK-Engineered Performance.

Hope Carbon Handlebar 31.8mm - 800mm, UK-Made, 20mm Rise, Lightweight Trail Bar

The Hope Carbon Handlebar with a 31.8mm clamp diameter represents Hope’s original venture into carbon fibre controls, benefiting from the same precision engineering and manufacturing as all their products. 100% designed, tested, and manufactured in Barnoldswick, UK, this bar is for riders who prefer the feel of the more traditional 31.8mm standard.

This bar is meticulously constructed using an optimised carbon laminate to achieve a superb balance of light weight and uncompromising strength, making it ideal for aggressive Trail and All-Mountain use. While some reviews note it feels slightly stiffer than its later 35mm counterpart, this version provides exact steering input and excellent durability.

It comes in a contemporary 800mm width, which is easy to trim down using the clear-cut marks for a custom fit. The geometry features a practical 20mm rise, coupled with a comfortable 5 degrees of upsweep and 7 degrees of backsweep, which is a proven configuration for modern mountain biking.

If you are running a 31.8mm stem and demand the high-quality performance and distinctive appearance of a UK-manufactured component, the Hope Carbon Handlebar is an exceptional choice.
