In addition to the SCOTT Spark, the new Scale and the new Lumen feature the Fraser cockpits as we move to a semi-integrated cable system. The headset integration and the system of covers keep everything nice and neat. In the trail bikes category, the new Genius and the Patron features the Hixon cockpit with the same technologies.
The sweep and rise are in line with current ergonomic best practise and the bars feautre a variety of mounts no matter what accessory you want to run.
Key Benefits
Weight
By removing unnecessary hardware and material we are able to achieve lower final weights without sacrificing performance or durability.
Stiffness
More is not always better, because of our unique one piece construction we are able to tune our stiffness. This allows us to offer bars with higher stiffness when sprinting that are at the same time more compliant when descending.
Construction
Fiber continuity is the key here, by combining multiple components into a single piece we have more control over the way the fibers are used and how they perform.
Integration
Both in terms of design and function, our iC components work in harmony with the bike creating a single, more sophisticated system.
XC World Cup
.
FRASER World Cup
The bar of choice of Nino Schurter and the SCOTT-SRAM team, the Fraser WC features our integrated bar and stem concept, now also allowing for the integration of cables on the front of the bike. Extensive testing allowed us to scan perfectly the desired position of Nino, Lars, Andri and Kate for reach, drop and sweep, allowing them to get a super low and fast position matched perfectly to what they need to race at the highest level at the World Cup. With three different angles and 6 different stem lengths offered, there are plenty of options to achieve your preferred bike fit.
"The new bars are redesigned to be stiffer and lighter, giving me more control over the front end of the bike on descents and hopefully giving me back a few precious watts on the climbs. My position on the bike has also been significantly improved with this new custom handle bar. Working with Swiss biomechanics, we were able to get my position much lower and a bit closer - putting me in a better position to charge down technical descents and even be able to make it up technical climbs. Plus, with the semi integrated cables, it looks clean and fast. Can’t wait to rest it out on the race course soon!"
– Kate Courtney, Scott-Sram MTB Racing

FRASER IC SL
Our standard Fraser iC SL XC cockpit features the low position favoured by cross country racers and is available in a variety of lengths. A new geometry concept means that rider height doesn’t change no matter what stem you run.
DC

FRASER IC SL DC
New to the range is our Down Country version the Fraser iC SL DC. This cockpit has a zero degree rise stem angle giving a slightly more upright position, perfect for the longer travel Spark 900 or riders who don’t want to get so low. The 760mm width inspires confidence on the downs.
Trail
HIXON IC SL
The All mountain inspired Hixon features our integrated bar and stem concept, which now also allows for the integration of cables on the front of the bike. The ultralight result features a range of stem lengths to suit every shape and size of rider. A removable stem cap hides all the cables and a variety of mounts are available to integrate your Garmin or Wahoo computer and also to fit our lights or a GoPro camera
Enduro
HIXON IC 1.0 rise
The Enduro inspired Hixon Rise features a 25mm rise as oppose to the 15mm mini rise found on the regular Hixon iC. This allows for the slightly more aggressive position favoured by these types of riders. Our integrated bar and stem concept, saves weight but also adds stiffness and our latest models also allow for the integration of cables on the front of the bike. The ultralight result is available in 50 or 60mm stem lngths. The removeable stem cap hides all the cables and a variety of mounts are available to integrate your Garmin or Wahoo computer and also to fit our lights or a GoPro camera.

HIXON IC DH
We took our iC (integrated Cockpit) concept and applied it to downhill to produce a light, stiff and strong one piece cockpit for the ultimate in downhill speed. At 300g in 800mm width it’s not only one of the lightest bars available but integrating the stem removes a huge amount of weight from the bike while the one piece construction allows us to reinforce key areas to inspire confidence where it is needed. Our carbon engineers worked on the layup to find the perfect balance of stiffness, not too harsh, not too soft, but just right.
