Designed specifically for XC riders, the Giant Contact SL combines precision engineering with practical features that make a real difference in race conditions and high-intensity trail riding. Whether you’re tackling technical terrain or pushing for speed on smooth sections, this handlebar provides the foundation for confident bike control. Forged from premium 7075 aluminum alloy, the Contact SL handlebar achieves an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio that’s essential for professional XC racing and demanding trail riding. This advanced material provides the stiffness you need for precise steering input without adding unnecessary weight to your front end. The robust construction ensures durability even during intense competition and technical riding sessions. The 780mm span delivers the increased leverage and stability you need to navigate technical obstacles at speed. This modern width standard is specifically optimized for current trail geometry, providing a wider platform for control while maintaining the nimbleness that XC riders expect. The width can be customized to suit your personal preferences or tighter trail conditions by trimming the bar ends. The handlebar features a 7-degree back sweep that positions your hands naturally to minimize strain on the wrists and forearms during long, high-intensity rides. This ergonomic angle reduces fatigue and allows you to maintain consistent control even when pushing hard on climbs or technical sections. The sweep works in harmony with the flat profile to keep you comfortable throughout extended riding sessions. The 31.8mm clamp diameter is compatible with modern stem designs and provides a secure connection point for your grip and controls. This standard sizing ensures easy integration with contemporary mountain bike components and offers reliable performance across various setup configurations. The flat profile helps lower your center of gravity, promoting better weight distribution over the front wheel for improved climbing traction and control. This design feature is critical for XC riders who need dependable front-end grip when ascending steep technical climbs or navigating rocky terrain. The bar includes clear incremental markings on the bar ends that allow for precise cutting if you prefer a narrower width. This customizable approach ensures you can dial in the exact fit that works best for your riding style, body proportions, and the specific trails you ride. The markings guide you to consistent, symmetrical cuts for balanced handling.
