RSL out front options
Moderator: Moderator Team
Can anyone shed any light on the out front mount for the Bontrager RSL MTB handle bars, I have seen the far less expensive SL7 bar out front mount looks very similar in fitment and design.. would it work on the RSL, cheers

The SL7 mount attaches to the stem, through a hole in the face plate, so there's no way you'd be able to attach it to the RSL one-piece set-up.
Unless that bar has bolts on the underside, making accommodation for an out-front mount, you may be best with something mounting to the top cap. With a steeper stem angle, my preference is the K-Edge adjustable mount - https://k-edge.com/products/adjustable-stem-mount
If the stem angle isn't too steep, they also have a non-adjustable mount that is cheaper and lighter. Either way you end up with a clean underside to the stem and your Garmin or Wahoo is a bit better protected from crashes. No help mounting lights though.

You're overthinking it... Per bullet point number three on their own product specs for that bar, "Seamless accessory integration with Blendr (mounts sold separately)"
