Tangent Flatiron Race Bars

The 13-butted construction allows the manufacturer to vary the wall thickness of the tubing, placing extra material where stress is highest and thinning it out where it isn't needed. This results in a handlebar that is significantly lighter than standard tubing without compromising the structural integrity required for racing.

The 16mm crossbar is designed to increase structural rigidity, which minimizes flex during high-speed maneuvers and aggressive gate starts. It provides a stiffer, more responsive feel that helps you maintain precise control when pushing hard on the track.

These bars feature a 6-degree backsweep and a 2-degree upsweep. This is a fairly standard, neutral geometry that balances comfort with an aggressive, race-ready posture, making them a versatile choice for most BMX racers.

Chromoly steel is favored in racing for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and its ability to absorb vibration better than aluminum. The post-weld heat treatment process further enhances the steel's durability, ensuring the bars can withstand the heavy impacts and stresses of competitive riding.

The 8.0-inch model weighs 740 grams. Keep in mind that weight can vary slightly depending on the specific rise and size of the handlebars you choose.
