{"product_id":"blue-ridge-handlebar-harness-v2","title":"Blue Ridge Handlebar Harness V2","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Blue Ridge is our premium handlebar harness, with CNC-machined aluminum clamps (made right here in Flagstaff!). It's the lightest machined harness on the market, at a svelte 208 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2 comes with a new asymmetric shape! This opens up more options for setup, and allows the dry bag to sit closer to the head tube without interfering with cable housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is especially important for shorter riders, who may need to rotate their dry bag forwards to clear the front tire. On most bikes with short head tubes, the dry bag will end up about 0.5 inches farther back on the Blue Ridge V2 versus the V1. That may not sound like much, but it's enough to significantly improve handling!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen mounted with the long arms on top, the V2 also improves hand clearance for those running drop bars, and brake clearance for flat bar bikes with older brakes that stick out super far (such as DOT fluid SRAM brakes).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe V2 also includes our TPU bridges to hold straps in place - compatible with our Ultralight RPGP TPU Straps, or any strap up to 3\/4\" (20mm) in width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eDesign Features:\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight aluminum and carbon fiber construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFits 31.8 and 35mm handlebars with included shims.
