The 35mm clamp diameter has become the standard interface for modern trail and enduro cockpits, and the Comp Trail Rizer 35 from Ritchey gives you an entry point into that platform without the carbon price tag. With an 800mm width and 15mm rise, the bar features a 9° backsweep and a 4° upsweep, and it's made from double-butted 6061-T6 alloy . That combination of geometry and material puts it in the sweet spot for riders building up a hardtail, a trail bike, or a shuttle rig where alloy durability matters more than shaving a few grams.

The 800mm width gives you plenty of room to cut down to your preferred fit — most riders end up somewhere between 760mm and 780mm depending on shoulder width and how tight the trees get on their local trails. The 9° backsweep sits in the mainstream range for modern MTB bars, which means it should feel familiar coming off almost any current cockpit. The modest 15mm rise pairs well with taller stack frames or riders running longer travel forks who don't need extra bar height stacked on top.

Double-butted 6061-T6 construction thickens the wall at the clamp zones and thins it through the middle, which is how alloy bars get to reasonable weights without giving up strength where the stem and controls bite down. The 35mm clamp diameter increases stiffness compared to 31.8mm bars , giving you a more direct feel through choppy terrain and hard cornering loads. If you're upgrading a stem to a 35mm platform, this is a straightforward companion bar that keeps the cost of the swap manageable.
