The Skywire handlebars, designed for enduro and trail riding come 800mm wide, with handy markings at either end to help you chop them down to the optimal size.

Deity said, “Notoriously known for being overly stiff and unforgiving, the 35mm ‘standard’ has taken over the handlebar industry over the past years and many may wonder why we were so late to the party in offering a deep range of 35mm options.

We believe in making every product we offer count and to do it right can take time, many revisions that never see the light of day, and testing protocols that we believe are the benchmark.

To us, it is all about the feel of a handlebar. Having stiffness in the correct points to aid in front wheel tracking, but allowing the bar to have enough flex and range of deflection to keep you on the bike for the entire day.

Our goal with the new 35mm carbon and aluminium handlebars was to achieve that proper balance of realistic weight, compliance, strength, fit and finish, and a feel indicative to the Deity brand.”
