OneUp Carbon vs E Carbon

[Ktmkirby]

Any reason to go with a OneUp E-Carbon bar over the Carbon Bar on a 45lb Rise M10? I already have a OneUpn carbon on my analog bike, and thinking of just swapping.

E-bar is pre-drilled for wired controller and has a different damping/flex character vs the standard bars to account for the greater weight of the emtb.
FWIW, I've used both and been happy with both.

I have the e-carbon one. I bought it because it’s supposed to be slightly even more compliant than the regular OneUp carbon bar. Something like 5% if I remember correctly.

It dampens vibrations very well but I’ve never experienced the regular bar to compare.

Swap it. For that kind of money I bet you don't notice the 5% difference.

the difference is that you can hide the remote wires, the wire goes in at the middle of the handle bar, runs internally and comes out under the grip then there is a channel for it to run in and come out from under the grip as far as i am aware, you may need to change the length of the cable from motor to remote.

I have both and can say I notice no difference. Unless you need the cable routing it's not worth the spend (says the guy who bought it and doesn't regret it but wouldn't do it again knowing what I know now).

Ditto,have and ridden both, for me the one bar that trumps both is the PNW Loam Bar.

I have pretty much switched all my bars to PNW LOAM 38mm raise. It's a very comfortable bar.

Have switched bars on both our bikes to PNW Loam carbon bars 38 rise (10 degree sweep). Work great.

I swapped to the e-bars on my Levo, mainly because I wanted to hide the cable to the bar controller. It wouldn’t work, the cable routing hole was too small. I wasn’t told that when I bought them and had already cut them down so I couldn’t return them. I can tell a slight difference with the dampening though, they feel a bit more flexy.

FWIW, I use the AL version of the handlebar too, it is already damping a lot for only 110g more.

There is a lot of compliance on them, all the bikes I use on DH and rocky terrain have it - I do not trust/like carbon bar for that unfortunately.

Form factor, rise, backsweep is also a big factor of comfort with them.
