What's the status of riser road bars in 2026?

[Takiyaki]

Really trying to nail all the details for my next build.... one thing I def want to try is riser bars. What 380mm options are out there from Chinese brands?

Tavelo, XMCS, Winspace, Evolve.

Depends on how much rise you need. And whether it has to be separate cockpit.

Incolor, Ullicyc

I'm curious about both Tavelo and Winspace

Good point- I do want it separate. I suck at cabling through integrated bars and I really want flexibility with my position.

If you go for separate bar/stem then balugoe do riser bars.

Can we summon an AI to come up with a table with photos, specs, price, & link, for all these options?
I only summon Baal, as a devout satanist and friend of the Epstein class.

Why not just run a separate positive angled stem?

Tricky to integrate your cables I guess, bugger all available barring Enve.

there's a time in all of our cycling endeavors where appearance well exceeds ability. i'm poster child for that

Im not eligible for social security yet.

I do plan to run a 0 degree stem, but having more rise flexibility would be better.

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't the reason of the riser bars appearance in the market, because of the Low Stack of the Chinese frames? If so, is there any point to have a riser bar on a bike with "normal stack"?
Maybe to have the handlebar slammed?

Even higher stack, slammed handlebars indeed, aesthetics and most importantly; it's the latest trend/fad

This is the one I'd prefere of all riser bars available ATM.
