ELEVN 31.8 STANDARD 8.5"HANDLEBARS

Product Overview

The Elevn 31.8 Standard 8.5" Handlebars are chromoly handlebars designed for use with 31.8mm oversized stems. Featuring 13 butted and tapered tubes, post-weld heat treatment, and a swedged crossbar design, they provide increased stiffness and strength while maintaining standard 22.2mm grip diameter. With 8.5" rise, 29" width, and 10-degree back sweep, these bars use proven race geometry for competitive riding.

Key Features

• 4130 chromoly construction with post-weld heat treatment – Heat treatment after welding relieves stress and restores material strength in weld zones, increasing durability and fatigue resistance
• 13 butted and tapered tubes – Multiple butted sections remove material from low-stress areas while maintaining wall thickness where needed, reducing weight without sacrificing strength
• Swedged crossbar design – Formed (swedged) crossbar increases stiffness by expanding tube diameter in the center section, reducing flex during hard pulling
• 31.8mm clamp area – Oversized stem clamp diameter provides larger clamping surface and reduces handlebar twist compared to standard 22.2mm clamp areas
• Standard 22.2mm grip diameter – Grip area remains standard size for compatibility with all BMX grips; only the stem clamp area is oversized
• Championship-winning geometry – Same rise, width, and sweep angles as Elevn's 22.2mm bars used in competitive racing

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

These handlebars require a 31.8mm oversized stem and are not compatible with standard 22.2mm or 25.4mm stems. The grip area is standard 22.2mm, so they work with all BMX grips. Ideal for racers who want increased front-end stiffness and reduced handlebar twist by using an oversized stem clamp interface. The 8.5" rise is suitable for larger riders or those who prefer higher handlebar positioning for a more upright riding position. The 29" width and 10-degree back sweep provide a comfortable hand position with good leverage for pulling and control. Best suited for riders using 31.8mm oversized stems who want the stiffness benefits of the oversized clamp area while maintaining compatibility with standard grips.

Colors: Black with White, Blue, Red, Grey, Sand, Slate and Teal graphics, with white specification graphics on bar grip area.
