POLLUX has been developed with one purpose: to get down faster.
Its one-piece carbon body is engineered for maximum strength, precision, and control, thanks to its special design for mounting directly on your double-crown fork. The geometry has been optimized to distribute weight evenly and achieve instant responsiveness , taking the bike exactly where you want it in a matter of thousandths of a second with an unparalleled aesthetic.
It incorporates the GMN section , developed to maximize rigidity in the area that provides handlebar control , while its vertical flex is designed to absorb vibrations, allowing you to make the longest and most broken descents at maximum speed without your hands and upper body suffering.
Each handlebar is handcrafted in our Barcelona workshop using proprietary technology and high-performance carbon fiber . The result is a unique, exclusive, and limited-production piece.
- Weight: from 230 gr., includes titanium screws.

CUSTOM FINISH
By default, our handlebars come with a UD matte finish, offering a clean, minimalist aesthetic with a smooth black surface. For those seeking a more customized or eye-catching look, we offer optional finishes at an additional cost:
- You shine
Glossy black finish on UD fiber.
Ideal for those who prefer a more polished and elegant aesthetic.
Keeps the surface smooth, with no visible pattern. - 12K gloss
Glossy finish on 12K carbon fabric.
The interlaced pattern of the fiber remains visible, providing a distinctive, technical look.
Recommended for those who want to highlight the carbon character of the piece. - 12K matte
Matte finish on 12K fiber.
Combines the visible pattern with a more discreet and professional aesthetic.
Perfect for those seeking a balance between sophistication and performance.

and we'll offer you a discount on a replacement component
SHIPPING AND DELIVERIES
A COCKTAIL OF DESIGN, ENGINEERING AND THE FINEST MATERIALS.
Pollux has been designed from the ground up to be manufactured in carbon and to get the most out of this material, aided by the most advanced calculation software and applying a simple and functional design, which is why it is unlike anything you've seen before.
STARTING AT ONLY 255g. THANKS TO THE UNIBODY DESIGN. MORE STRENGTH WITH LESS MATERIAL.
Engineering work has focused on simplifying and improving stress distribution, reducing the areas where stress peaks accumulate and allowing for increased strength with less material.
NO ASSEMBLY STRESS
By eliminating the connection between the stem and handlebar, the stresses generated by the preloads created during assembly to prevent the handlebar from slipping are eliminated, also eliminating the areas subjected to compression that deform the piece and promote delamination of the fiber layers, reducing resistance.
VOLTAGE DISTRIBUTION
The continuity of material between the stem and the handlebar facilitates the distribution of stress over a larger surface area, so that it flows along the handlebar, eliminating areas with high accumulations and thus increasing the final resistance.
GMN SECTION
Circular sections behave the same in all directions, which is why we developed the GMN section with two basic purposes: to reduce hand fatigue due to vibrations and forces, and to increase reactivity and control when turning.
VERTICAL ABSORPTION
By reducing the vertical section, we achieve greater absorption of vertical impacts and vibrations. This translates into less hand fatigue and the ability to maintain a high descent pace. (aluminum bar)
SPIN REACTIONS
Increasing the horizontal section increases the handlebar's rigidity against the forces exerted by the rider when turning, resulting in more direct and responsive steering control.
OPTIMIZED GEOMETRY FOR DOWNHILL, IN 20, 30, 40 AND 50 MM LENGTHS.
POLLUX has a geometry designed to give you maximum control and comfort, supporting your body in a perfect natural position and reducing fatigue on the longest and toughest descents.
GEOMETRY FOR DESCENT
Pollux is specifically designed to be mounted on bikes with steering angles between 62º and 64º. The entire geometry is designed to work in that position and give you greater control and absorption.
LOW POSITION
The unibody design allows the cockpit to be mounted directly on the triple clamp, achieving a very low position. To achieve this, we have provided a housing for the steering cap, so you can adjust the geometry of your bike by raising or lowering the triple clamp without having to cut the head tube as you would have to do with a conventional handlebar.
CHOOSE YOUR PERFECT LENGTH
POLLUX is available in different stem lengths so you can choose the position that best suits your style and the geometry of your bike, with lengths of 20, 30, 40 and 50 mm.
POLLUX IS MADE WITH THE FINEST CARBON FIBER
It could only be made with the best intermediate modulus carbon fiber currently available on the market, MITSUBISHI MR70, combined with an optimized layout for greater impact resistance and a manufacturing process specifically developed to produce top-quality parts.
CARBON FIBER
Not all carbon fibers are created equal, which is why we've chosen the strongest carbon fiber with an intermediate modulus. Mitsubishi MR70 is a cutting-edge, high-end carbon fiber developed for the highest demands of the aerospace industry. This is the best way to ensure the handlebar's best performance and increase strength while reducing weight.
SPECIFIC BLADDER DESIGN
What you don't see is as important as what you do, which is why we've created a custom-made bladder for each handlebar size. This allows us to perfectly adapt to its shape and achieve perfect fiber compaction, preventing the formation of wrinkles and resin pools.
CONSTRUCTION
The properties of the material are very important, but so is the construction structure of the pieces, which is why we use a "sandwich" structure, using woven fiber in the outer and inner layers to increase resistance to delamination due to impacts, and a whole core of UD fiber that guarantees us to obtain the best mechanical and structural properties of the fiber.
TITANIUM
The best material for contact with carbon fiber is titanium. Thanks to its chemical properties, it behaves like a noble material, preventing any type of galvanic corrosion. That's why we chose it, along with its balanced mechanical properties and weight, for all the hardware.
SUBJECTED TO THE MOST DEMANDING TESTS IN THE LABORATORY AND ON THE WHISTLER DESCENTS
Pollux is a piece of engineering of the highest quality and durability. It has been lab-tested to withstand the most abusive loads the industry applies to downhill handlebars, with forces far exceeding those required by the ISO standard. That's why we went to Whistler to validate it in the field.
