SPIKE 800 Race Bar, 30R Black

Located at the center of the bar, this contains all the critical bar geometry specifications. The cockpit adjustment dial is a very handy reference for finding your ideal bar position. All SPANK bars come with cut marks at the bar ends for ease in determining the minimum width to which your bar can be cut down to. Super-6 Aluminum is a specially blended, highly magnesium-silicon enriched, work hardened alloy that offers the perfect mix of hardness, yield, fatigue life, and a superior ultimate tensile strength to standard 6 series alloys. It is ideal for the creation of thin walled, super stiff handlebars. Through recent adoption of Super-6 materials and other enriched blends, SPANK's SPIKE, and OOZY handlebars are now strong, and show greater resistance to deformation than ever before. SPANK went the extra mile in our handlebar production facility by investing in automated Three Dimensional CNC Bending machines, which offer better symmetry and consistency, and more importantly limit material structural damage during the bending process. The precision of 3D CNC Bending in a single fixture allows SPANK to optimize our designs. The process eliminates the need for heavy grinding process, making our bars lighter, stronger, and safer. Dual XGT technology tapers our bars from the thickest area at the bar clamping zone, slowly and gradually through the bend zones, to the thinnest areas at the control zones and back to the thicker reinforced barend zones, or “Impact Ends”. This precision process eliminates stress zones where breaks can occur. SPANK has utilized FEA (Finite Element Analysis), laboratory, and rigorous real world testing to optimize the spread of material to where needed to withstand the specific forces at work in each zone, while offering better safeguard against crashes than ever before. Processes such as extrusion, forging and tube drawing can increase the strength of alloy materials by reducing the grain size. SPANK uses state of the art proprietary metal forming methods which further improve grain size consistency and orientation, and significantly reduce grain size beyond that of our competitors. No other bars or rims are subjected to the number of drawing steps or level of refinement as those offered by SPANK. This leads to greater ultimate strength, toughness, and ductility ... meaning confidence, comfort and safety.
