Enve Downhill Mountain Handlebar

About Enve Composites
In late 2010, Edge Composites announced that they would be changing their company name to Enve Composites. This change was initiated to avoid trademark infringement issues in Europe. Internally, Enve remains the same cutting-edge composites manufacturer with no changes in ownership, management, or staff. Expect great things from Enve in the coming years as they move into a new, state-of-the-art production facility and begin a rollout of new products based on collaboration with the world's top aerodynamics specialists.

Detail
As carbon fiber gains hold in the dirt Enve is looking to build upon their previous success on the World DH circuit. After becoming the world's first World Cup winning carbon fiber rim maker, Enve is expanding their presence on DH bikes in 2011 with their new feathery light and extremely durable Downhill bar. Enve's downhill bar is built at an 800mm length and features cutting guides at 5mm increments, 9 degrees of sweep, 23mm rise and, staying true to Enve's ability to produce a 'best in show' featherweight right out the gate, it weighs in at just 225g. Like all Enve components, the DH carries a two year limited warranty. Clamp diameter is of course 31.8.

Installation
The downhill bars are available solely in 31.8 mm stem clamp diameter. The center stem clamp section features a rough bead-impregnated clearcoat, which reduces bolt torque requirements and ensures the bars won't slip even in the most extreme situations.

As with all carbon components, we strongly recommend use of a torque wrench when installing these handlebars. Edge's maximum recommended stem bolt torque is 5.5 Nm.
