Lyne AMP 31.8 25mm Riser Bar

The Lyne AMP 31.8 25mm Riser Bar is a mountain bike handlebar designed for trail, XC, and general MTB riding. It’s an upgraded version of the lower-rise AMP bars, giving you a higher front-end position (25mm rise) for more comfort and control on rough terrain.
It uses the modern 31.8mm clamp standard, so it fits most current MTB stems.
