Burgtec Components

Premium UK‑Designed MTB Upgrades for Performance, Control & Durability

Burgtec has become the go‑to choice for riders searching for premium UK‑designed mountain bike components that elevate performance, control and durability. Born from a deep obsession with downhill racing, Burgtec was founded on the belief that every second counts — and that the right components can transform the way a bike rides. Rather than producing complete bikes, Burgtec focuses entirely on creating top‑tier upgrade parts that help riders refine and enhance their existing setup. This laser‑focused approach has made Burgtec one of the most trusted names in enduro, trail and downhill components.

Built and tested in tough British riding conditions, Burgtec components are engineered to handle steep descents, technical terrain and the wet, gritty weather that defines UK mountain biking. Their reputation is built on precision engineering, bold styling and uncompromising reliability, earning the loyalty of elite athletes and everyday riders alike.

A Brand Built on Racing Heritage

Founded in the UK, Burgtec quickly earned a reputation for strength, reliability and high‑quality manufacturing. Their components are ridden by some of the biggest names in the sport — including Josh Bryceland, Greg Minnaar, Brage Vestavik, Jackson Goldstone, Nina Hoffmann, Laurie Greenland, Loris Vergier and Dakota Norton — and trusted by weekend riders who want kit that won’t let them down.

Every Burgtec product is developed through real‑world testing, rider feedback and a commitment to performance under pressure. Whether it’s a handlebar designed for steep World Cup tracks or a pedal built for UK winter slop, Burgtec components are engineered to perform where it matters.

Burgtec Handlebars

Ride Wide & Ride High: Control, Comfort & Confidence

Burgtec’s handlebar range has earned a cult following among trail, enduro and downhill riders thanks to its blend of comfort, control and unmistakable style. Whether you’re chasing a higher cockpit for steep terrain or a wide, confidence‑inspiring bar for aggressive riding, Burgtec has a handlebar designed to transform the way your bike feels.

Their two flagship families — Ride Wide and Ride High — each serve a distinct purpose, but both share Burgtec’s signature geometry, premium construction and rider‑driven development.

Ride Wide Alloy & Carbon Handlebars – The Original Wide Bar

The Ride Wide series is where Burgtec’s handlebar legacy began. Designed to give riders maximum control, stability and comfort on technical terrain, the Ride Wide bars quickly became a favourite among elite racers and everyday riders alike.

Why Riders Love the Ride Wide Bars

It’s the subtle details that make the Ride Wide bars stand out. The classic 9° backsweep and 5° upsweep create a natural, comfortable hand position that reduces fatigue and improves steering control. Once you try them, they’re the kind of bar that simply disappears beneath you — in the best possible way.

Ride Wide Alloy Enduro Handlebar

Key Features

  • 800 mm width
  • Available in 35 mm or 31.8 mm clamp
  • 15 mm or 30 mm rise options
  • 9° backsweep / 5° upsweep
  • Suggested cut marks for easy trimming
  • Weight: approx. 300 g
  • Colour: Black

These bars are stiff enough for aggressive riding but not harsh, striking a perfect balance for modern enduro and trail bikes. Riders on shorter‑travel bikes or hardtails may prefer the 31.8 mm version for a slightly more forgiving feel.

Trusted by the Best

The Ride Wide bars are used by some of the fastest riders on the planet, including:

  • Santa Cruz Syndicate: Jackson Goldstone, Nina Hoffmann, Laurie Greenland
  • Trek Factory DH Team: Loris Vergier, Reece Wilson, Bodhi Kuhn

If you want a bar that improves control, boosts confidence and looks incredible paired with an Enduro MK3 stem, the Ride Wide series is the perfect upgrade.

Ride High Handlebars – Upright, Confident & Built for Steep Terrain

Developed with freeride legend Josh Bryceland, the Ride High bars were created for riders who want a taller cockpit for improved comfort, control and confidence — especially on steep, technical terrain.

Originally released in 38 mm rise, the range expanded to 50 mm, 65 mm and 80 mm as riders like Dakota Norton pushed bar heights higher than ever.

Why Choose a Ride High Bar?

A higher handlebar offers several key benefits:

  • A more upright, relaxed riding position
  • Reduced “over the bars” sensation on steep descents
  • Improved comfort for tall riders
  • Better weight balance on long‑reach, low‑stack bikes
  • More room to move for freeride and DH riding

The Ride High bars use the same comfortable 9° backsweep and 5° upsweep as the Ride Wide series, ensuring a natural feel even with a taller rise.

Ride High Rise Options

  • 38 mm – subtle lift, great for trail and all‑round riding
  • 50 mm – ideal for steep terrain and low‑stack bikes
  • 65 mm – freeride‑ready, perfect for tall riders
  • 80 mm – maximum height for DH, big‑mountain and ultra‑steep trails

All Ride High bars are built from durable aluminium alloy, with an 800 mm width and a 35 mm clamp.
