Reviews & Ratings
The Tavelo RISE is an integrated riser handlebar with 20mm of rise from the stem center, designed to increase stack height without spacers. It features a -10° stem angle, short-ish reach (actual measured around 60mm due to stem being 10mm longer than stated), and is available in 34cm width. The bar is made of carbon fiber, weighs approximately 280g (plus adapter weight for 1 1/8" steerers), but actual weight including shim is around 306g for 380/100mm. It is compatible with electronic groupsets but not mechanical due to limited internal routing space. It uses a 1 1/4" steerer clamp with an adapter for 1 1/8" steerers. Users appreciate its aerodynamic design and aesthetics, but criticize the hood transition shape, short reach, weight, spacer compatibility, and flat-sided drops. An aftermarket computer mount from TiParts is now available. Alternatives include Incolor Aerowav, Lightcarbon, XMCS, CRW, Winspace Hyper 2.0, Ganna Angle Pro, and Balugoe riser bars.
AI Summary
Pros
- Provides 20mm of stack rise from the stem center, allowing for a higher position without spacers, which is aerodynamically beneficial and aesthetically pleasing.
- Lightweight at around 280g (before adapter) and available in a narrow 34cm width, which is ideal for riders with smaller frames or preferences.
- Features a -10° stem angle and ergonomic tops, designed for comfort in aero hoods positions like puppy paws.
- TiParts now offers an aftermarket computer mount for the bar.
- When riding in the drops or aero hoods position, the full +20mm rise is still felt even if the hoods are not perfectly level.
Cons
- Poor hood-to-bar transition: The design creates a drop at the shifters, making it difficult to achieve a level, smooth transition, which is uncomfortable for most riding positions.
- Not compatible with mechanical groupsets due to limited internal routing space, restricting it to electronic shifting only.
- Uses a 1 1/4" steerer clamp with an adapter for 1 1/8" steerers, adding weight (up to 300g total) and complexity.
- Short reach may not suit riders needing longer reach options, as it's designed with a compact geometry.
- Actual reach is shorter than advertised; one user measured approximately 60mm due to the stem being 10mm longer than stated.
- Weight is higher than expected: 306g for 380/100mm including shim, which is similar to a Specialized Roval cockpit.
- Included spacers and printed adapter are heavier (about 25g more) and shorter than those from Specialized, leaving a gap at the front and looking less attractive.
- The -10° stem angle reduces effective rise by 7-8mm compared to a typical -6° stem, and may cause the computer mount to tilt downward.
- Drops have flat sides, which some users find less comfortable and aesthetically unappealing.
