- Hey Guys,
This is just a fun little video explaining our thought process behind the new PNW Components Range Handlebar. This is my first ever signature product and I am really proud about how it turned out. Our biggest goal with these bars was to help people eliminate wrist pain and enjoy their ride more. I think we were able to accomplish that with some of the shape that we chose along with the material. The other really cool part is that I was able to convince the owners of PNW Components to donate 5% of all proceeds from this Handlebar towards the National Interscholastic Cycling Association (NICA) to help support the growth of high school mountain biking :). I hope you guys enjoy the video and if you have any questions at all please feel free to ask away!
Here is the link to the bars! bit.ly/2EqBPZq
Thanks,

Kyle, I respect your mountain biking skills, ability, and perspectives, but what shines brightest for me about you is who you are as a person. Your interaction with April and your give-back to NICA instead of obtaining royalties says volumes.
The world needs more good people like you. Keep it going!
Thank you so much Richard! 😊
Literally just bought one of these and didn’t realize it was your signature handlebar. Excited to get these on my bike!
Thats so awesome! Thanks for supporting Nathan! Stoked to hear how you like them!
Kyle & April - Ride Mtb yeah super stoked. I have been having some shoulder pain while riding and really hoping these bars put me in a better riding position. I will keep you posted
Love your videos! Ordered tonight after coming back from riding a technical rooted trail that had my hands numb. Look forward to seeing how they feel!!
I ride EBP all the time, great place! Running the Range Gen 3 bar with Loam grips and Coast stem. Pairs really well with the Cascade dropper and Loam lever that I got for the holidays.
Great components!
After seeing this vid I really wanted to try these bars as I would constantly get fatigued wrists/hands. I've been riding with these PWN Range bars, 50mm range stem and Loam grips for the past 2 weeks and am in love with these bars. We just did a 4 hour 50km trail ride yesterday and I did not get any hand/wrist fatigue! Normally after an hour or two they would be killing me. Really happy with the purchase. The Orange looks great with my Trek Roscoe8 orange/red fade logo.
So awesome to hear, thanks for sharing!
Great video, thanks! I just ordered the grey PNW Range handlebar with the grey Loam grips. Can't wait to get them and put them on my bike. I just installed the PNW Cascade dropped and Loam lever on my bike yesterday and it's super cool. I'm still basically new to MTB'ing so love that I'm able to find quality replacement parts for a fair price!
Thats so cool! I hope you love all of it!!! Pnw is a great group of people
Awesome riding Kyle. 101k subs and rising, you two are the best! Oh, and great bars...
Thanks so much Bob!
Thanks for sharing. I bookmarked this component for when my bars need replacement. Thank you again.
Glad to help! Thanks John!
Nice post Kyle. A little late to this party, you never know when the old guy will find your video so thanks for keeping it up. Just happen to be looking for bars to deal with hand pain while riding and a higher rise to help my 6 decade old back ride longer. I'll check out the bar and NOW will check into NICA because I am down for ANYTHING that will get youngins outdoors.
Thanks for the video, just ordered the Range handlebars for my Ripmo AF, can't wait to get them!
Good choice! Hope you love them!!
@@AprilRideMTB thanks!!!
I just recently bought these bars and the loam grips exited to try them out!
My second ride with these bars, it’s has eliminated all hand & wrist pain and numbness. Great job . I need to add the stem now.
That's great to hear!!!
I like that some of the things we did in bmx are making their way into mtb
Ghost @1:21 xD Can't wait to try these bars. PNW great company!
Such great people too! Let me know how you like them!
A little late to the party but just bought one! Stoked to get it!
Got a Range bar- Awesome design!!
Thank you!!! 😊
Just made my purchase. I’m new to the mtb game and the standard handlebars that came on my bike hurts my wrist and gives me really bad back pain on climbs. I hope these handlebars help! Been hearing a lot of great reviews from other riders who ride with them. Cant wait!
Hope they help! :)
Looking forward to seeing how perform
Got this handlebar from worldwide cyclery! Looking for a decent and affordable bar! Plus help someone else is a good thing! Thanks for the review!! Cant wait to test this baby out!
Hope you love it!!!

Can i cut the bar if its to wide for me around like 760mm to 750mm?
I have a turbo levo comp alloy with a 35mm bar...would you recommend changing to a 31.8mm or stay with 35mm? I've been trying to research the differences.
Just installed these yesterday (in desert dune) with grey loam grips. Now.... I have to wait for this rain to go away.
I have the same stem at 50mm length but I went with Title MTB handlebars.
Any recommendations on how short I should cut the bar?
Nice! I’m very torn on whether to get these for carbon. I really want the vibration Dampening. I also don’t want to break my bars. On a sidenote your tutorial videos have me running faster than ever!
Thats awesome Chad!! In my experience the carbon bars are either really compliant yet fragile or very stiff yet durable. These 2014 alloy bars will be the most compliant aluminum material you can use and has a property more similar to steel. They are a few grams heavier than conventional bars though but if you want vibration damping you cant go wrong :)
I might end up getting these. As a 5’5” rider on a small frame I can still barely reach my bars. I also feel like they’re way too low. Raising my bars and sweeping them back would make my ride so much more comfortable and easier to pop up in my opinion. I can barely lift up my tire coming from the bmx world.
I got some of these and love them compared to the stock bars that came with my 2022 Trek Rail 5. I never had numb hands before this bike but my first E-Bike and more power and can ride longer since I’m retired and a seasoned rider.
Glad you like them!
Hi Kyle, im looking to get a set these Gen 3 bars and Gen 3 stem for my new emtb to replace the brand new carbon bars that came on it! Never trusted carbon bars so getting switched out before first run! Can you tell me abit more on the newer V3 bars? Thanks
Kyle did you cut these at all? Or use standard length
Do you think these bars would pair well with an enduro style hardtail with 160mm of travel?
Yes, we use it on every type of bike we have! From the dirt jumper all the way to the downhill bike 😊
In your opinion, how do you think these bars would work on a Specialized Epic Evo? I want a little more rise than a flat bar..
They would work fine on the Epic; it’s all about what works best for you.
Kyle, I bought a PNW 200mm dropper post. They have great customer service. And I just ordered this bar. KW signature model? Whatever. Then I saw this video and now realize who KW is. I KNOW THAT GUY! Best instructional MTB videos online!
Question: With the back sweep, will I need to get a longer stem? (I have a 2018 Santa Cruz Tallboy with a Race Face Ride bar with 8° of back sweep with no upsweep and a Race Face Aeffect R 50mm stem .) Any recommendations on cockpit setup?
Hey! Thats awesome! I would try with the same length stem at first. It will be slightly shorter but I think you will like it. At the most you could go to a 55mm down the road if it felt like it shortened the reach too much.
Hi Kyle and April! I actually ordered the PNW grips when I got my new bike 4 months ago, they are AMAZING, if I forget my gloves I don't worry as much anymore. I just ordered the PNW loam lever to replace my stock lever which is super janky and cheap feeling along with this handlebar and im excited to get it. How much do you think getting a stem would make a difference? I honestly don't know exactly what a new stem will bring to the equation along with the bars or what it changes?
Hey Phillip! you will definitely notice a big difference with the bars and i would say the stem will be less noticeable but does give you the chance to change up your bike fit a little bit. We need to do a video on choosing the right stem length for people!
@Kyle & April - Ride MTB that would be great. I honestly haven't seen many if any on stems. Cheers!
Sick bro!!
Thank you!!!
Was the KW edition discontinued? I can only find the 800 width? It has the same specs just the width seems to be different.
Comes 800mm. Then you cut to where you want
Hi Kyle, I hope you are doing well, just ordered the handlebar and waiting to arrive to install it on my bike. I have a technical question that you maybe can answer. Right now my current handlebar is 760mm with 20mm rise. Do you think I should trim the PNW Range to 760?
Hey Luis! Awesome! I would start out at full length 780mm and see how you like it, you can always trim them down but its hard to add material haha
@@AprilRideMTB Thanks for your reply, Awesome! I'll do that. Looking forward to watch your next video! 😎🤙
@@AprilRideMTB Update, tried the handlebar today on my local trails and man, what a difference, love the handlebar, no need to trim it. It's perfect, thanks to PNW and you for designing such an excellent product. Very happy customer 😁
@@AprilRideMTB Kyle, I just got mine, and I had the same question. (I don't deal well with change.) So I'll try them before cutting.
But I did notice on mine the markings "760 KW". haha
Do you ride 31.8mm or 35mm?
Did you get your bad wrists from long term MTBing?
Hello, I'm in China. Where can I get this bar?
are they still available?
Why does it help your wrists? Is it the rise - you mentioned 30 mm. You also talked about experimenting with backsweep but no mention of the actual backsweep angle?
10 degree backsweep according to PNW specs. I am curious on what helps your wrists as well. I have a 15 mm rise, no clue on backsweep, bontrager bar on my Roscoe 7 and my hands always hurt.
@@chriscain4014 Hey all, the back sweep you need is going to vary depending on you anatomy as I have recently found out. @joyofbike has a vid on it but basically my bike came with a 9 degree back sweep which now I have progressed in my riding in both what I am hitting and how long I ride ends up giving me a pain in my thumb knuckle and a bit in the shoulder. I played around with rotating the bar but my hands are always on an inward angle putting more pressure on my thumb. I was looking at the Gen 3 as all other bars with plus 9 degrees are nearly £100! Not sure 10 degrees will be enough but should relieve some of the pressure. Should really try the test from the Joy of Bike vid.
Do PNW not do a 40mm stem for the 35mm diameter bars only 50mm? Shame id have liked the whole set but 50mm is to long thats what i have now standard thats a pitty i would have went and bought both i can get 35mm bars and a 40mm 31.8 stem or 35mm witha 50mm cant find a 31.8 bar in the UK anywhere only 35s
4 years later. I bought the handlebar and stem. The handlebars comes at 800 mm which might seem a bit too much. What would be the difference from my current handlebar which is 780 mm and the PNW is 800mm?
I would probably cut the bars down to 780mm since that is what you are use to. Kyle typically runs his at 760mm
@@AprilRideMTB I will do that then. Cut them down to 780 mm as my current handlebar. I’m 6’3 so I would think going lower than 780 mm would feel weird for me. Thanks for the response April! 😃
At the end of the day, handlebars and backsweep is all very personal
I've got mine ordered!!!!!!!?
Awesome, hope you will love it!
Current bord at the doc waiting for a wrist check up
MTB handlebars have been cronically under backsweeped. It's the next evolution
It's crazy how you guys toss those bikes around like nothing. Defying gravity.
