The Thomson Elite DH Handlebar 20 x 800 is engineered for serious downhill riders seeking precision and durability. Crafted from premium 7050 Aluminium alloy, it combines strength with a lightweight design to ensure long-lasting performance on demanding trails. With an 800mm width, 20mm rise, 9° backsweep, and 5° upsweep, this handlebar offers an ergonomic grip and superior control tailored for aggressive steering and stability.
Its 65mm wide clamping area is specifically designed to fit Thomson’s Direct Mount stem, delivering unmatched torsional stiffness for confident handling. The 31.8mm diameter center section remains perfectly straight over 90mm, minimizing stress concentrations and enhancing durability especially when paired with wide Direct Mount stems. The handlebar’s ends are reinforced, thickened from 1.4 to 1.6mm, to resist impacts and ground contact damage, making it resilient on challenging descents.
Manufactured using advanced Hydraulic Press Forming, the bar boasts consistent wall thickness and precise tolerances without the need for hand grinding. This process ensures a smooth, strong, and lightweight structure that outperforms manually bent alternatives. When combined with a Thomson stem, the Elite DH Handlebar forms the ultimate aluminium cockpit setup, perfect for riders demanding peak performance and reliability.
Is this handlebar compatible with all stems?
The Thomson Elite DH Handlebar’s 65mm wide clamping area is optimized for Thomson Direct Mount stems but also fits other stems with a 31.8mm clamp diameter.
How does Hydraulic Press Forming benefit the handlebar?
This manufacturing process creates consistent wall thickness and precise tolerances, resulting in a lighter, stronger, and more durable handlebar compared to traditional manual bending methods.
