FSA NS SIC Flat Carbon Integrated Handlebar 80mm x 780mm Carbon

The Handlebar FSA NS SIC (Stable Integrated Cockpit) is a one-piece integrated handlebar and stem designed for the most demanding Cross-Country and Downcountry riders. By fusing the handlebar and stem into a single carbon piece, FSA eliminates superfluous hardware to deliver exceptional stiffness and a significant weight saving.

Its key feature is the SIC (Stable Integrated Cockpit) system, which allows full internal routing of cables and hoses. The result is a cockpit of absolute visual cleanliness, while protecting your cabling from the elements and snagging on undergrowth.

Is it compatible with any frame? This handlebar is optimised for frames using FSA integrated headset systems. However, it can be fitted to most standard 1"1/8 fork steerers, although cable integration requires a compatible frame to be fully exploited at 100%.

Is it stiffer than a traditional handlebar and stem combination? Yes, the absence of a bolted junction between the stem and the handlebar eliminates potential flex points, offering a much more direct feel of control, particularly when sprinting out of the saddle.

Isn't carbon too uncomfortable? On the contrary. FSA's UD carbon is engineered to offer great lateral stiffness while retaining a certain capacity to absorb high-frequency vibrations, thereby reducing hand fatigue.

Can the handlebar be cut if it is too wide? Yes, precise cut marks at the ends allow the width to be reduced from 780 mm to suit your body shape or riding style.
