Radrover - Lighter handlebars / cranks?

[tonejunkee]

Has anyone upgraded their handlebars/cranks. Hoping to drop albs and willing to go carbon.

Looking at something like the Nukeproof, but with similar rise to the RR - https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/us/en/nukeproof-horizon-carbon-riser-bar/rp-prod158768?

Changed out the pedals with Chester Race Face, which are half the weight of the stock pedals and wider, better grip, etc

I just did pedal upgrade to BC Wide pedal MTB because my feet were slipping off the Rad standard pedals when they got wet during trail riding. I ended up adding weight to my Rad when I added rack, bag, triangle bag, handlebar extender, cell phone holder, headlight with battery pack, rear light, and all tools/parts needed to fix a flat (probably around 75-80lbs total). Sometimes carry a spare 11.6ah battery if my ride is +25 miles and I have a spare charger at work to top off.

It just took one time running out of power heading home uphill in a stiff headwind to make sure I always have plenty of power.
