Can the Top Shelf Flat Handlebars be cut to a shorter width?Updated 14 days ago

Yes. Our bars feature cutting guide lines up to 50mm per side (100mm total reduction). For example, an 800mm bar can be safely narrowed to 700mm using these guides.

While the bars can technically be cut shorter than the 50mm guides in specific cases, it is critical to verify clearance first. Ensure there is sufficient room for your brake levers, shifters, grips, and other accessories before cutting to any length, even when staying within the guide marks.

Bars should be cut using a sharp hacksaw blade intended for metal. We strongly recommend using a cutting guide to ensure a straight edge. Once cut, the edges must be deburred with a metal file.

For a detailed walkthrough, we recommend the Park Tool Guide to Cutting Handlebars, which is the industry standard for this procedure.

Cutting the bars does not void your warranty. However, please note that once bars have been cut or modified, they are no longer eligible for return.
