Ambit Releases New Bartender Aluminum Riser Bar
With the Bartender® Aluminum Riser Bar, Ambit® expands the Bartender® lineup with a classic aluminum handlebar aimed at gravity-focused trail, enduro and downhill riding.
The goal is simple: offer a wide, stable and predictable aluminum bar with multiple rise variants — built around Ambit®’s preferred geometry and clear design language.
Positioning Within the Bartender® Lineup
The Bartender® Aluminum Riser Bar is designed as a straightforward aluminum addition to the Bartender® range.
It complements the lineup by offering:
• A familiar aluminum option
• Consistent geometry
• And three different rise choices to better suit gravity bike setups
Geometry & Shape
The bar follows Ambit®’s established geometry preferences for aggressive riding:
• 8° backsweep for a neutral wrist position
• 5° upsweep to support an active riding stance
• 35 mm clamp diameter for precise and direct steering input
The shape is intentionally familiar, providing predictable handling on steep, fast and rough trails.

Three Rise variants
To cover a broader variety of setups, the Bartender® Aluminum Riser Bar is available in three rise choices:
• 35 mm – lower front ends and race-oriented builds
• 45 mm – balanced trail and enduro builds
• 55 mm – steeper terrain, longer forks or riders preferring a higher bar position
All three versions share the same width, sweep and Material — only the rise changes, making bike configurations straightforward and consistent.
Material & Construction
The bar is manufactured from AL6061-T6 aluminum, a proven material choice for gravity riding.
Chosen for its durability and consistent behavior, the material provides a solid and reliable feel across a wide range of trail conditions — from bike park laps to demanding enduro stages.
Key Specifications
• Width: 800 mm (cuttable down to 750 mm)
• Clamp diameter: 35 mm
• Rise options: 35 / 45 / 55 mm
• Backsweep / Upsweep: 8° / 5°
• Material: Aluminum 6061-T6

• Approved system weight (rider + bike): 136 kg
• Category: 5 – Enduro / Downhill
Visually, the Bartender® Aluminum Riser Bar follows Ambit®’s clear and functional design language.
The clean black anodized finish keeps the bar understated and easy to integrate into a wide variety of builds.
The bar is available with two subtle decal versions:
• White / Grey decals
• Black / Black decals
Both versions maintain a minimal look and blend seamlessly into different cockpit setups.

Its time for frame manufacturers to man up and go for higher stacks, especially on larger frames. I really apprechiate all the new high rise bars tho! So much more possibilities to modify your bike
