"The Most Compliant Carbon Handlebars" - OneUp Components EMTB Certified Bar

[@Bittersfamily0424]

Based on this video alone I purchased these bars for my 2018 YT Capra Aluminum 29er. The bike came with 800mm Race Face Turbine 35mm ride bars. I found my self having to run Ergon GA2 grips with palm support to take the discomfort away. I could never run traditional round grips comfortably regardless of how cushy. So installing the One Up E-Carbon bars I was blown away! I installed some Ergon GA2 round grips and was loving how comfortable the ride was. I could not believe how big of a difference these bars made. Thank you so much!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thank you for sharing and we're very glad to hear that your comfort has been improved!

For arm pump, try turning your brake levers up so they are closer to parallel with the ground. Basically eliminated my arm pump

[@MarkSmith455]

Grip your bar and then extend your fingers naturally. This is where your brake lever should be.

[@SeanKWhite-lk5zf]

I always did mine rotated down into the "natural" position and had issues. The new school French flat position has eliminated any pump issue. I also have girly hands.

[@FlightKid]

I’m gonna try that. I got some thicker Raceface Grips and it made arm pump worse. Thanks for the tip

[@whothat4684]

@@SeanKWhite-lk5zf it’s “moto style”

[@bacala0]

I have these bars and absolutely love them. That said, they did not, for me, eliminate hand pain from late season brake bumps at a recent trip at the bike park (Angel Fire). I understand death-gripping, braking, grips, etc. all affect this but that was my experience after a few big park days with the bars. They are the best carbon bars I've tried (I disliked 35mm before them) and recommend them to everyone. *The compliance is real!

[@marauder7412]

Try some PNW bars. They have a bit more backsweep, helped me a lot with palm/wrist pain.

[@mtbmadman011]

Great run through which originally got me hooked to try out previously. Swapped out my Renthal Fat Bar Lite for the std One Up and rode Sedona for a week on my Yeti 130 LR. Noticeable difference. My wrists were less sore and less hand numbness. Ergon Factory Evo grips on all my bikes. I picked up another standard One Up Im going to try on my Turbo Levo Expert. ( The controller cable runs external anyway so slotted bar not needed) Running a Fat Bar on that currently. I will say coming off a stiff as a brick Renthal bar, and I do love that bar, the one up took some getting used too. But my wrists are much better for it. Looking forward to seeing how the std One Up performs w/ a 50 LB e bike. I think the other one up bar cut to 780mm is gonna stay on my yeti for next months sea otter enduro stages. Curious to hear from others on running one up on their e bikes. Ride On!

[@johnwilliamson9453]

Will look forward to the review of bar and grip combination as it relates to fatigue.

[@TheLoamWolf]

Trust us we will be testing them thoroughly.

[@barocioanthony959]

One up is awesome. When the hell are they going to produce a carbon wheel set?! Iam sure they’ll hit out the ball park with that one 🤙🏼.

[@andymtb3212]

My early stage arthritic hands love the Wolftooth mega fat paw grips. They are not very durable since they are silicone but worth it for me. I’m going to use the code and can’t wait to run these!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Thanks for sharing Andy. Genuinely hope these bars help extend the ride. Let us know after a few rides!

[@mikeryan657]

Just wondering, how does this compare to the PNW RANGE V3 aluminum 31.8 you recommended on your video 9 months ago? Thanks!

[@TheLoamWolf]

Hey Mike, Thank you so much for the amazing support! In response to your question, that bar is a 31.8 and alloy, and yes, I opted for that because I'm a huge fan of compliance and comfort... We've not yet put enough miles on the OneUps for a full review, but I think i'm liking these better. The PNW are great, but as I described in this video, they flex and move in all directions, whereas these give a bit more precise handling and fore/aft stiffness while still giving the up and down comfort i want. We'll dig up the PNWs though and do a little head to head when we get time.

[@mikeryan657]

Just wondering, did I miss the long term review on these bars? I would also love to know what grips you’ve found that work best at further improving your comfort.

[@leandroiw2942]

besides the roles, what is the difference in the oneup for ebike and regular bike? Their website is not clear if the only difference are the roles for cables or it ebike one is more compliante.

[@Viking7771]

It is to bad that one up doesn’t make some 12 & 16 degree sweep versions like SQ LABS!

[@obfuscurity]

Great video. Surprised there hasn’t been a long-term review or follow-up video on these bars. Still something you’ll consider?

[@TheLoamWolf]

Great suggestion! We still love them! So yes, we will do it

[@tomcarney654]

Good video, I use cromag cutlass carbin bars with rev grips and that works for me .looking forward to see the long term review

[@xav_1029]

Do you know if they improved their clear coat? Got their older oval bar on my trail bike, and while I like it, the clear coat on the carbon yellowed and is peeling in some places.

[@NoBrakes23]

I contemplated these, but opted for the standard OneUp bars. I've been suspicious of 35mm prior to this, but have heard good things from real people about the OneUps. I am currently using 31.8 Vibrocores on my hardtail and my roadbike, and they did help, but I still have wrist issues, (Especially after a bad road bike crash a couple of years ago.) I'm looking forward to seeing how the OneUps compare to the Vibrocore. If I like what I feel, but want more, I might move up to these e-bars.

[@TheLoamWolf]

The Vibrocore bars are also very cool! WE like them, although these might replace them on a couple of our bikes. Stand by for a possible head to head.

[@steve4296]

@@TheLoamWolf Please do a head to head with those two bars.

[@thebrowns5337]

Is the e version really more vibration damping than the 'normal' oneup carbon bar?

[@TheLoamWolf]

Yes it is.

[@thim8009]

They are awesome, but the smallest bars I run are 800mm by 60mm if I have 15 mm of spacers under stem.

[@ucdis]

My arm pump went away when I switched from fox to dvo, and got rev grips

[@JubeProductions]

Isn't the 35mm E-bar the same thing as the regular 35mm carbon bar, just with a channel groove for cable to hide the wire?

[@TheLoamWolf]

They are very similar in appearance, but this bar does actually have more compliance than their normal bar. And yes it also has wiring accommodations.

[@JubeProductions]

@@TheLoamWolf damn, I just bought a Turbo Levo and I bought a 1up carbon bar, but not the ebar. I wish they made it clearer that there was a difference. On their page it seemed like it was just the cable routing holes and channel. I haven't even installed them yet, and maybe I can sell them. Is there a big difference?

[@simonbgibbs]

Hi we’re you able to route the fuel exe remote through the bars?

[@thefrazercoplasticsltd2269]

Great videos. Good BS free reviews. Just ordered these for my Fuel Exe. Do you know if the cable is removable from the remote for feeding through the bar? Thanks

[@Chan1881]

Hey there, I have a Fuel EXe and this bar on order too. This is what my LBS said to me. Hope this helps. “I don't think anything needs to be routed through the bars internally for the TQ system based on the models I've seen…”

[@thefrazercoplasticsltd2269]

@@Chan1881 the detachable plug on the remote is too large to go through the hole in the bars anyway. FWIW I found the backsweep insufficient for me so went to the SQ labs bars.

[@AB-NZ]

I have been using the original Oneup oval bars with 35mm rise for the last couple of years and they certainly work for me. Have had them on my Ibis Ripmo and now my Specialized Levo. Brilliant bars. Arm/hand pump issues are almost eliminated (compared to my old aluminium bars) except on the longest and most intense descents (and that is probably more to do with my bad technique 😏🤔). I don’t think the extra bit of compliance on these new ones would be noticeable for me. I would have been keen to get these new bars for the ebike stealth, but from what you say they are unfortunately not compatible with the Levo controller 😩.

[@WilliamrikerNCC1701]

Drinking game. Have a drink every time you hear the word compliance. 😜

[@TheLoamWolf]

Have fun getting wasted!

[@fathertime209]

I really wish they made these compatible with the Specialized e-bike cables...

[@themuellers5384]

They actually are comptaible, meaning the cable will fit. You just have to cut the original cable close (about 5-10cm) to the TCU-connector and reconnect the five wires using 3M waterproof connectors after routing the cable through your bars. It's absolutely possible and from my measurements the original Speci cable is long enough. Just be sure to have a stem that fits this bar: You need an open stem, like OneUp's own one, that doesn't block the middle hole. Unfortunately that's not the case with my stem. In case of failing: The original Speci controller costs only around 50$/€ and can easily be replaced.

[@BisayangbikerUSA]

[@jimm244]

So, how exactly is that measured?

[@kayakutah]

Most compliant? Pretty hard to beat Fasst Flexx. But they're heavy and pricey, even in the carbon model. I'm 70 and the 200-gram penalty for the alloy version is well worth it for the climbs in Utah (I still haven't gone the eBike route, though I plan on it). Descending miles and miles of square edged bumps in Moab is way more comfortable on these and they even help on climbing up those same square edges.

[@ChefIan73]

Plus the fact that I’ve seen several Fastflex bars fail in dramatic fashion at the pivot point. 😬

[@TheLoamWolf]

That’s definitely scary

[@kayakutah]

@@ChefIan73 You have personally witnessed several Fasst Flexx bars fail? Under what circumstances?

[@ChefIan73]

@@kayakutah both times (not my own experiences kind you) under moderate to hard riding, but not under circumstances that should have caused the metal to fail. I haven’t heard of any other issues though. But that was enough for me to decide I wasn’t going to give them a try.

+1 for the Flexx bars. Pro moto guys run them, and I’ve searched everywhere for any failures and have not read any. I run them on my Yeti 160e and they’re game changers.

Is discount code still working

[@TheLoamWolf]

No it is not. But try sending OneUp an email or message saying you saw our video and maybe they'll hook you up??

[@MTBs]

What is "ebike" or "e-rated certification". Did they come up with that term themselves or is it actually an organisation behind the certification process?

[@TheLoamWolf]

It is not a term they came up with. In order for parts to be spec’s on ebikes in Europe they have to pass much more stringent testing to be “e certified” due to heavier bike weights and speeds. These bars exceed those standards. In the US they are not needed but some brands choose to get tested for EU sales.

[@sprousaTM]

Too bad the code did not work for the EU website. :) I am running their "normal" 20mm rise carbon handlebar version on 2 bikes right now and was thinking about getting another one for the hardtail. I used aluminium handlebars for a while and there is a very noticable different feeling with the carbon variant from oneup. It takes out a lot of the high frequency trail chatter that used to make my finger joints hurt pretty quickly. Paired with a couple of grips (in my case I tried out almost 10 different grips) and buttercups in the new ZEB, it really makes a lot of difference. It does not smoothen out the trail at all. As said, high frequency bumps, chatter and stuff is noticeable lighter on the hands, muscles and joints.

[@jazzechos1372]

35mm at the clam has nothing to do with the size at the end with grips...so you little hands wouldn't noting anything.
