NEW PRODUCTS
manufactured in a manner that means there are no sharp edges, even under a microscope. No sharp edges means no weak points and that’s super
confidence-inspiring after seeing so many carbon bars snap out on the trail. I ride a lot of different bikes so having a range of rides and sizes was mega important to me. There’s nothing more annoying than not being able to make a product fit your needs. I like running the same bar in different rises on each of my
bikes so that you instantly feel at home regardless of whether you’re riding dirt jumps or on a massive mission on your enduro bike. The bars also have minimal packaging and the barcode laser etched because I don’t like landfill.
How long have you been testing these new bars? I’ve spent my life behind bars and I can safely say I’ve never snapped or bent a set of DMR bars in over ten
years of riding and testing. The O’Dub bar might be the longest tested product I’ve ever worked on! I think that’s important if you’re putting your name on something.
When will they be in bike shops? They’ll be in stores this spring and are currently available in any colour as long as it’s satin black. It’s the only bar colour I wanna run, but let’s see what we come up with in future! They’re available in two clamp sizes: 31.8mm and 35mm. They’re also available in three different rises: 20mm, 35mm or 50mm. I run the 20/35 on my trail and enduro bikes and the 50mm on my jump bike. The 35 clamp comes in at 800mm wide and I cut my enduro bike down to 770mm and 750mm on my jump bike. The 31.8 comes in at 780 wide. All bars have cutting guides too. It’s very cool to look down and see my dream bar on all of my bikes. They’re the best. ●
