35mm Carbon Handlebars Flex Tested and More - Vital Gear Show 9
More tech, more fun. Vital Gear Show works on getting scientific.
This week on the Vital Gear Show, we flex test 8 different mountain bike handlebars. Six of them are 35mm diameter carbon bars, and we add a 35mm alloy bar and 31.8 carbon bar into the mix to see just how compliant they are. OneUp, Deity, ENVE, Race Face, Renthal, Tag Metals and Hope handlebars are put to the test with Johan's SuperBarFlexer3000.
Our brake and shifter cables troubles are contained with the Trust Performance Jobber Kit, Bryn Atkinson and Ryan Reynolds are doppelgangers, Fox Racing keeps us warm and Canfield Brothers renames as Canfield bikes. We also weigh some stuff!!!

Show format is great!
sspomer,
seeing you test bikes in snow, how do FS bikes deal with riding in sub zero conditions? I feel like im hurting all of its oily bits everytime I do. My suspension in particular (slows) way down. Less rebound helped a bit.

Anyway you could test a 31.8 Aluminium bar just to put some numbers and compare?

Think that's a typo Spomer. The Atlas bar they tested is a 35mm bar if I'm not mistaken. Either way, love this show, keep it coming guys!

Hot topic!
I bought 31.8 (50mm rise, +vibrocore) bars because of this. So far so great.
