35mm bars

[Samwise]

Looking at bars and stem upgrades, is it worth going for 35mm bars on Ebikes or does it not really make a difference?

31.8mm bar and stem has always been fine on my other mtbs, but wondered if they'd be better for Ebikes.

It makes no difference really. Even renthal said they made 35 just stay with trends, and it made no real gain/improvement.

Good to know, ill go with whatever works out cheapest. Thankyou

Makes sure if you bike has a display the sits near the stem that its compatible with 35mm bars

I had to go the other way, 35mm were too harsh and caused endless arm pump, although to be fair the swap to the Spank Vibrocore prob made the biggest difference!

In fact, due to the way they’ve engineered them to similar rigidity, the 35mm is lighter.
