Description
MM Wide
Backsweep
Up Sweep
Rand
With a 780mm width the Rapidé Rize-R bars give you more stability in the rough, more room to maneuver, more room for optimum control placement, more leverage, more corner speed!
The 9° back sweep, 5° up sweep combination the Rize-R gives you the shape that works so well on the trail.
What Width Bar / Length Stem To Use?
The general rule of thumb is to maintain a 2:1 ratio of handlebar width to stem length. For every 20mm increase in handlebar width you should reduce your stem length by 10mm. So if you’re running 660mm bars with a 100mm stem and want to try a handlebar that is 720mm wide you will need to pair that 720mm handlebar with an 70mm stem to maintain a relatively consistent position on the bike.
Like most rules of thumb, this 2:1 ratio is by no means absolute and it is only useful if you’re starting from a comfortable fit position.

BRILLIANT bit of kit. Light, strong and cheap. The “unattainable” trifecta, now attainable. Just the right amount of rise, perfect width and a superb finish, coupled with a reasonable rake make these my bars of choice from now on. And let’s be honest now – the price is just Full Retard. It’s that good.
At this price point I was expecting a set of bars that rivaled a strand of overcooked spaghetti. You know, all floppy and with no substance to them. Boy, was I wrong. The bars themselves are stiff. Stiffer than Shitbreak when he got hold of Stiffler’s mom. I have them on my Reign X, and I’m not a lightweight by any stretch of the imagination, hitting 105 after my morning “routine”. I’ve now bought another set for my hardtail, and several of my mates are getting on the wagon owing to the tremendous value that these bars represent.
If you’re thinking of getting a set, but are put off by the price, thinking that they can’t possibly be good at this price, ignore yourself and buy 3. At this price, why not? You won’t need the other 2 unless you have 3 bikes in your stable, but seriously. Buy 3.
They’re THAT good.

I’ll second the above review. Ordered one of these late afternoon on 4 Dec 2014 and with EPIC service had them in my hands at 08:30 on 5 Dec 2014. thats almost crazy fast.
As for or the bars, they are awesome quality and at the same level as any alloy bar that goes For 4x as much. it doest come wit all the lame schoolboy graphics like most – which is a personal preference of mine, just the necessary measuring lines for fit. You could literally add some lame brand name on this and no one would know that they cost under R200. AWESOME PRODUCT. thanks rapide.
I love supporting these guys. Local is better, lekker and cheaper!

I replaced my 660mm bar with this one to experiment with the length.
This bar is really nice. Feels very comfortable, is light and all the specs are perfect.
The nice thing is that you can go wide and then cut as desired as there is plenty bar to use.
Overall I am super happy with this bar and it’s by far the best value for your rondelle you can get.

Purchased one of these bars to experiment with wider bars and was pleasantly surprised with the product.As Myles and the others mentioned,was really chuffed with the quality of the product,so much in fact that they have changed from experimental bars to my permanent bars.You can simply not beat the value for money you get with these bars and I will likely be purchasing a few more in the future.

Only reason I’m not giving it 5 stars is the absence of markings to aid cutting the bars shorter. Other than that, for the price this is luidicrous value. Very happy with mine so far.

Bought these bars and the 70mm stem for my Pyga Stage MAX build…Wow! These components are awesome! Very happy and am recommending to everyone I know. They also look really good on the bike as there are very little graphics on them…which is what I like 🙂
Keep up the good work!

Ordered the bar on Friday and had it in my hands Tuesday morning. Quick delivery and friendly and quick responses from Wayne for all my questions.
The bar itself was very light and durable. Was a bit long for me, but was easily cut down to 740mm. Very happy with the bar and the service!
