Description
The Roval Alpinist Carbon Handlebar sets a new benchmark for lightweight performance and all-day comfort, delivering the ultimate tool for riders who climb fast, sprint hard, and demand precision. At just 167 grams in the 40cm width, it’s 15% lighter than the S-Works Short & Shallow bar, yet sacrifices nothing in strength or control. Crafted by the same minds behind Specialized’s fastest race machines, the Alpinist is shaped using extensive Body Geometry fit data, ensuring every curve, flare, and transition supports optimal posture and handling under effort. The result is a bar that feels natural in the hands—no matter the gradient or intensity.
With a compact 75mm reach and 125mm drop, the Alpinist promotes efficient movement and control between riding positions, while the 4-degree flare enhances wrist clearance and stability during out-of-saddle efforts. Available in 36cm to 44cm widths, it’s tuned to match a wide range of riders and fits seamlessly into minimalist, performance-oriented builds. Whether you're scaling alpine passes or launching city-limit attacks, the Alpinist Carbon Handlebar delivers responsive feedback, confident handling, and a ride feel that encourages pushing the pace. Designed for the demands of elite road riding and weighing less than many climbing wheels, it’s a critical upgrade for riders seeking the lightest, cleanest cockpit possible.
