Escapa presents the Roval Control SL 35mm handlebar.
The Roval Control SL 35mm x 780mm Flat Handlebar is an ultra-stiff yet comfortable XC race handlebar, developed by Specialized’s World Cup riders. Its design incorporates the brand’s extensive expertise in carbon engineering and deep understanding of cyclists’ bodies. Ideal for XC races, marathons, and even Trail riders looking for an ultra-lightweight handlebar, the Roval Control SL 35mm x 780mm Flat handlebar weighs 185 grams and has a total width of 780 mm, though it includes several cut marks at the ends so that, if the rider prefers, it can be modified to achieve their desired length. The SL Control’s 6-degree upsweep and 8-degree backsweep place riders in an optimal position to make the most of every pedal stroke.
In XC racing, stiffness equals speed. And that’s what guided us in developing the Roval Control SL handlebar. Drawing inspiration from Trail bike technology, we knew that a 35mm clamp width would give us the stiffness our riders demanded. Using that extra width, our engineers have designed a handlebar that offers XC and marathon riders precise handling and maximum performance on all terrains.
Combining elements of XC and Trail bikes, our engineers have designed a handlebar that increases stiffness for greater safety and control, with two rise options to suit any rider’s riding style. In addition to the 0° rise model, for riders seeking a more aggressive position, the new Roval Control SL is available with a 20mm rise, allowing riders to stay centered and balanced while maintaining an ideal center of gravity on the most challenging descents.
