What’s your favorite handlebar setup for fat-bike rides?

Bars can make or break long days on the bike. Flat, riser, alt-bar, drop—fat-bikers get creative with their cockpits. What’s your go-to handlebar and why?

We’ve tested quite a few fatbike handlebars over the years. Check them out!

That’s this week’s Fat-Bike Question of the Week! Got a story, a photo, or a hot take? Toss it in the comments—we’d love to hear it. And keep your eyes peeled… a fresh question rolls out every week!

  1. Corvus “Fat Back” Sweet 16 carbon bars. The 16 degree backsweep has been a hand/wrist saver.

  2. I acquired a pair of Whisky Millhouse Klunker bars last year – 825 wide, 75mm rise with a nice sweep. Definitely the thing for manhandling a large fatbike through the gnar. Looks sweet too!

  3. My current handlebar is an 800mm wide 35mm rise Cromag alloy. Most of my other bars are 760-780mm and 25mm rise. Sitting upright a little more seems to feel better when the trails get slippery.

  4. Carbon Jones bars. I like the wrist angle and the extra bar loop is great for hike a bike over obstacles.
