The new Surly Sunset Bar is a BMX-inspired riser bar with a generous 820mm width and 110mm rise, and it looks perfect for anyone looking for a more upright riding position. Find all the essential details here…
Inspired by the Sunrise Bars that were released in 2019, the new Surly Sunset Bar offers the same BMX-inspired cross-bar and design but takes things further with even more rise, backsweep, and upsweep. According to Surly, they “set out to make a handlebar that’s upright, durable, and capable of resurrecting a parts-bin bike or transforming a newer slice of steel into something more.” The Sunset Bar seems to fit the bill.

The Sunset Bar is made from custom-butted 4130 Chromoly steel tubing and finished in an anti-rust Black ED coat. It’s tested to comply with ASTM 3 and ISO Mountain Standards for rowdy trail riding and beyond and uses a 22.2mm clamp size, but Surly includes shims for 31.8mm stems. The Sunset Bar is generously wide at 820mm (trimmable), has 110mm of rise, a 22-degree backsweep, and a 14-degree upsweep. As a comparison, the Sunrise Bar has an 83mm rise, a 14.7-degree backsweep, and a 6.7-degree upsweep.
The Sunset Bar weighs 827 grams (including shims), is only available in black, and costs $75 USD. It’s available to order through your local Surly dealer, and you can learn more at SurlyBikes.com.
