BLKTEC x INNER R6 RIDE Carbon Handlebar
A road-specific carbon handlebar designed for precision, balance, and modern road control.

Developed as the dedicated handlebar for the INNER Initiator, the BLKTEC x INNER R6 RIDE Carbon Handlebar reflects the Initiator’s core intent: responsive handling, clean aesthetics, and a refined, traditional road feel. Featuring a subtle 20 mm rise and 1.7° backsweep, the R6 allows riders to achieve a balanced, confident hand position that reduces strain without compromising front-end feel.

The R6 RIDE uses a classic road profile with gentle ergonomic shaping, delivering a natural position on the hoods and composed control in the drops. Rather than chasing flare or extreme compact geometry, it prioritises predictable steering, comfort under load, and all-day usability — the qualities that define a great modern road bike.
Developed in collaboration with BLKTEC, the R6 RIDE complements the Initiator’s race-bred but approachable character, forming a cockpit that disappears beneath you and lets the bike do the talking.

Why it works
 
  • 20 mm rise for refined fit – Achieves a balanced front-end position with fewer spacers
  • 1.7° backsweep – Encourages a natural wrist angle and reduces upper-body strain
  • Road-specific ergonomics – Tuned for fast, controlled road riding
  • Balanced handling – Direct steering without nervousness at speed
  • Carbon construction – Optimised stiffness for precise control with reduced vibration
  • Traditional road shape – Familiar hood and drop positions for confident fit
  • Purpose-led integration – Designed around modern internal routing without over-integration
Design & construction
 
  • Lightweight carbon fibre construction optimised for strength and ride feel
  • Classic road bar profile with subtle ergonomic refinement
  • Integrated 20 mm rise and 1.7° backsweep executed without visual bulk
  • Compact drop and reach for smooth transitions between hand positions
  • Clean, understated branding to suit INNER Initiator builds
Cable routing & compatibility
 
  • Clean integration – Primarily designed for INNER framesets with full internal cable routing. A single, central cable exit allows brake hoses to pass cleanly through the centre of the T1-AL stem. When used with external routing setups, brake hoses are run discreetly beneath the bar tops.
Ideal for
The R6 RIDE is ideal for riders who:
 
  • Ride the INNER Initiator or similar modern road frames
  • Want a precise road cockpit with a slightly higher, more composed hand position
  • Appreciate subtle ergonomic refinements over aggressive shaping
  • Value serviceability, fit flexibility, and long-term usability
