Overview
The Persuader is Tumbleweed’s award winning mountain touring handlebar design based on many years and thousands of miles of loaded off-road touring experience, a bar focused on comfort, utility and control. We have many variants of the Persuader, heat treated 7000 series aluminum alloy in a shot peened black finish or polished silver alloy. Both versions have a 50mm rise and are available in 20 degrees, or a super comfy 30 degree back sweep (technically 31 degrees).
The Persuader was designed with a few ideas in mind – First, a bar that has a wide straight section next to the stem for mounting bags, so there is no forward sweep. Next, maximizing real estate in the grip area so that you could use a variety of grip/brake lever/shifter options and leave plenty of room to trim to your desired width. The narrowest we’ve trimmed them to is 760mm, but there was still plenty of room left to go narrower. To get both a wide front section and a long grip section, there is custom tooling made to get the bend radius in the bar as tight and compact as possible. ISO Mountain tested.
The Alloy Persuader has taken the original steel bar design and refined it, by giving the bar a full width 31.8mm clamping area, there is plenty of room to mount a variety of accessories. The Persuader bar is also offered in a wider 840mm size for maximum control over heavy loaded bikes on rough trails.
