MTB Cockpit Components | Handlebars, Stems and Grips

Fine-tuning your mountain bike's cockpit is crucial to creating a comfortable and confident riding position on the trails. There are many ways to dial in your bike's fit and feel with the handlebars and stem. High-rise bars are popular for creating a more relaxed climbing posture and shifting your weight towards the rear tire on descents. Short stems can also impact your weight transfer on descents, add precision to your steering inputs and also make the bike more comfortable overall. Grips are the main touch-point of your bike. Opting for a set of grips that offers your preferred rubber durometer, texture and diameter to fit your hand size is a great way to personalize exactly how your bike feels.
