OneUp just announced an e-bike specific handlebar to compliment their excellent carbon fiber handlebar that’s already on the market. It features ports and channels for display wiring as well as some other cool features. They’ve also added a Shimano Steps compatible chainguide. Full scoop in the press release below…
More Compliance. Less Fatigue.
E-Bikes let you ride further for longer. But they’re also heavier and more physically demanding to ride. That makes reducing fatigue even more important. Our Carbon E-Bar is 20% more compliant than any other DH rated handlebar on the market. That means more comfort and less fatigue.
Engineered for good vibes.
The Most Compliant E-Bike Rated Bar On the Market
Our patented design narrows to just 20mm to maximize vertical compliance. For reference, the thinnest portion of a traditional handlebar is 22.2mm. Our oval design delivers a more comfortable ride without sacrificing steering response or strength. The E-Bar passes the stringent Zedler E-MTB Advanced Plus standard and the international DH standard (ASTM Cat. 5 Downhill).
Specs
Stealth Routing
Our Carbon E-Bar stealth routing is compatible with Shimano STEPS and any remote with a connector diameter less than 6.5mm.
New Shimano STEPS Chain Guide
Eliminate dropped chains and add a pop of colour to your e-bike with the new STEPS EP Chain Guide. Available in 7 colours.
COMPATIBILITY
The OneUp E-Bar features internal routing for Shimano STEPS switch units and all other switch units with a connector diameter less than 6.5mm.
The wire port diameter in the bar is 6.5mm and the minimum switch wire length required to internally route is 650mm.
Specialized, Bosch or Rocky Mountain remote power mode controllers cannot be internally routed through the Carbon E-Bar.
If you have a switch with a removable wire (EP8 or E8000) you can install a 650mm or longer Shimano EW-SD50 wire.
The Orbea Rise does not have a handlebar mounted display unit as it connects to your smartphone. It has the EW-EN100 junction and removable EW-SD50 wire.
If you don’t have a removable wire on your switch, you need to buy a new switch with a removable wire (SW-E7000-L) with a wire length of at least 700mm.
Or you you can add the EW-JC200 2 port junction and an EW-SD50 extension wire
Grips with only an outer clamp are not compatible with our bar.
