Engineered with the same proprietary spiral-butted architecture as the legendary Odub bar, the new DMR Sweeper Handlebar introduces a 12-degree back-sweep designed to radically improve ergonomics for riders seeking an upright, fatigue-free posture. Forged from aerospace-grade, heat-treated 7050 aluminum, this handlebar strikes a flawless mechanical balance, delivering absolute steering stiffness while dialing in the vertical compliance needed to absorb relentless trail chatter.
Proven DMR Geometry
The exact profile of the Sweeper wasn't guessed; it was meticulously tuned by DMR founder Damian Mason. The strategic 5-degree upsweep keeps your elbows in a dominant, aggressive position, completely eliminating the "droopy" feel often associated with high-sweep bars. Paired with the 12-degree back-sweep, it rolls your wrists into a biologically neutral stance. It is the definitive solution for all-day singletrack, ultra-endurance athletes, or anyone tired of the wrist pain caused by traditional, flatter mountain bike handlebars.
The industry has taken notice. Singletrack Magazine recently crowned the Sweeper with their highly coveted 2025 Editor's Choice award, specifically praising how it tames modern bike geometry: "If you have a bike with a long reach, you can run these bars without feeling cramped and have the effect of running a 15-20mm stem. Such light, accurate, and stable steering. It feels amazing."
To ensure flawless integration with your cockpit, the Sweeper is offered in both 31.8mm and oversized 35mm clamp diameters, locked into a highly versatile 35mm "sweet-spot" rise. It is finished in a premium vapor-blast matte black, delivering a stealthy, satin aesthetic that perfectly mimics the look of raw carbon fiber while retaining the bombproof reliability of alloy.

Our thoughts:
The Sweeper is one of those bars that makes immediate sense once you ride it. The 12-degree backsweep isn't radical enough to feel weird, but it's enough to take noticeable pressure off your wrists and forearms over longer rides. The spiral-butted construction keeps weight down while giving the bar a nice compliance that takes the edge off chatter. If you're running a long reach frame,, or you just want your cockpit to feel more natural, the Sweeper is a genuinely excellent choice.
