M6 Handlebar
When it came time to redesign its mountain handlebar
offerings, ENVE Composites chose to build and categorize its bars much like it
does with its wheelsets. Riders have different wants and needs depending on
bike setup, riding style, aspirations, and terrain. From the rail-thin,
hardtail riding, flat bar XC racer to the big hit World Cup, dual crown,
high-rise set, ENVE has a bar for every occasion designed with the utmost
durability, lightweight construction, and ride tuned feel for every occasion.
The handlebar we have here, the M6, achieves the nexus that the modern trail
rider is after.
The M6 falls under ENVE's trail-rated lineup and places an emphasis on dropping grams and features a carbon laminate that helps to minimize the trail chatter that can start to accumulate on those 4+ hour backwoods epics. As you probably imagined, the M6 is recommended to pair with the M6 stem and wheelset which are all suited for 100-140mm trail bikes. Two rise options are available so you can achieve your desired ride position: a lower 7.5mm and a mid-rise 25mm version. Both bars come in at 780mm wide and feature a tried-and-true 9-degrees of backsweep and 5-degrees of upsweep and a 31.8mm clamp, helping to preserve a compliant ride with a responsive flex profile and keeps the weight low.
All of the bars are developed by riders and racers and the feedback from internal testers and world-class athletes hone the bars' every detail. In fact, so important is the ride feel that ENVE instills in each and every bar, it's reduced the amount of recommended cut lengths so the bars ride at its intended flex profile while still passing strength and stiffness requirements with flying colors without having to overbuild the bars to satisfy a wider range of cuts.

Worth it
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Size Bought:
- 25mm

Built a new bike and contemplated whether or not to spend the money for a carbon bar and stem. Read a bunch of reviews. Can't find the original review that convinced me to buy the Enve M6 bar and stem (journalist rode the same course with M6 bar and stem and with the M6 bar with an alloy stem and noticed less fatigue when using the M6 carbon combo, but here's another one that supports that (https://www.worldwidecyclery.com/blogs/worldwide-cyclery-blog/enve-m6-stem-rider-review). Comparing my old bike (Thomson alloy stem with Enve carbon bar) to my new bike with Enve M6 carbon stem and bar may be a bit unfair (lots of differences between the two bikes), but the front end does track really well and my hands haven't gone numb at all. If you have the money, the M6 bar stem combo is a worthwhile upgrade. If the stem is too pricey, the M6 bar alone is worth it too.

Its enve
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
What can I say, its enve. By far, the best looking carbon bar IMO. I've had many and these are my favorite. I cut them to 760 and the feeling is phenomenal. I also paired them with the enve stem. You get what you pay for.. BTW I'm a sucker for matching my bike colors. With the included decals you can match these bars to most bikes.

Nice bars!
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Put these on my wife's Yeti. They look great and she likes the feel of them much better than her old aluminum bars. Quality is very nice and I would definitely recommend.
