OneUp Introduces Bar Stem and Grips

NEW OneUp Carbon Bars, EDC ready Stem and Lock-On Grips

Our goal for the new OneUp Bar, Stem and Grips was simple. It’s the same for every product we’ve ever made. Design and engineer the components that we want on our bikes, for riding we love here in Squamish and sell them for a fair price. We hope you like the new cockpit as much as we do. Read on for all the details. 

CARBON BARS  800mm Wide / 35mm Dia. / 20mm Rise (220g) 35mm Rise (225g) / Sweep 8th Back 5th Up / $ 138 USD Color: Black. Decal kits available in Red, Green, Blue, Orange, Purple & White

We wanted to make the best bar possible, something that would let us ride harder for longer. The solution is our patent pending oval bar profile, which combines the best ride characteristics of 31.8mm and 35mm diameter handlebar standards. This is the most comfortable bar we’ve ever ridden, period. It’s strong, lightweight, minimizes the pump and vibration and maximizes steering response. 35mm done right.

The OneUp bar gives me the confidence of a 35mm bar with a bit of forgiveness engineered in those big descents. I’ve been so impressed after putting it through the paces for the last year.

Almost every other bar an aluminum bar. I know what we did. If you actually care about bar compliance, then you don’t make a round 35mm diameter bar. Sure you can “optimize” the flex slightly with layup, but geometry is king and you’re fighting a losing battle.

The OneUp bar profile minimizes the 35 diameter clamping area, as this is the stiffest portion of any 35 diameter bar. The 35mm clamp diameter changes to a flattened, oval shape in the transition zone and then to standard 22.2mm clamp diameter for the control zone.

We benchmarked the OneUp bar against the most popular carbon bars on the market as well as foam filled aluminum bars. The results were, on average, a 21% increase in vertical compliance (comfort) coupled with a 28% increase in steering stiffness (responsiveness). These are more than just marginal gains.

Until now the 35mm diameter standard has had a bad reputation and rightly so. This is 35 done right.

EDC STEM 
Length: 35mm (157g) 50mm (173g) / 35mm Dia. / 0° Rise / Stem $85 USD Preloader Kit: $30 USD
Colour: Black. Top Caps available in Black, Red, Green, Blue, Orange, Purple & Gold

The OneUp EDC Stem allows you to store your EDC Tool in your steerer tube, without threading your fork. You can also adjust your headset preload without loosening your stem. There’s a reason why so many EWS Pro Riders use the OneUp EDC Tool. In the event of mechanical, the EDC Tool is right at your fingertips with everything you need. We wanted to make the tool system available to even more riders, including those with previously incompatible forks and steel or carbon steerer tubes.

The EDC Stem can be used with a regular star nut and top cap like every other stem. It’s also compatible with existing threaded EDC top caps, for people who’ve already threaded their steerer tube. Or you can use the new OneUp Preloader, which lets you store the EDC tool in your steerer without threading it.

LOCK-ON GRIPS 
Colours: Black, Red, Green, Blue, Orange & Purple $25 USD

A low profile single lock on, designed to reduce arm pump and hand numbness. The Diamond knurled texture, with saw tooth finger ramps and a super tacky 20A compound provide ultimate traction. More traction means less death-gripping the bars and less arm pumps. Our single lock has the profile of your favorite double lock-on. But to reduce hand numbness we have to do with hard outer clamp with extra rubber for greater cushioning of your palm heel. Get the benefits of an “ergonomic” grip without the city bike cruiser look!

OneUp Bars, Stems, Grips, NEW Chain Guides and Flat Pedals are available in Black, Red, Green, Blue, Orange and Purple so that you can customize your ride.
