Seems quite a reasonable price, and German engineering is second to none. Dear Santa.....

Other weights I already send to "sick lines" and they will be probably soon in the gallery.

The bars and stems are sick...I'm running the freeride bars (forget what they're called) and the OS Raptor Stem

Bigburd Wide bars are more stable and accurate. To illustrate the point, try riding a rowdy trail with your hands next to the stem. As you're picking yourself up from the yardsale you just had, admit it, wider is better. It is true that some people may have bikes that don't fit them, causing the wide bars to be awkward. Even so the wide bars will still allow better line accuracy etc.

I think he's talking more along the lines of small people (12-14 year olds) running wide bars because they see other people running them and think it will make them better riders. Its ridiculous when you see someone running bars 2 inches wider than their shoulders.

sixpack make some nice shizzle

I got one of their seatclamps and looked at getting of their freeride rims... Good to see they've got bars out!-

hacksaw and pipe cutter bit was so on point! i never understood why it took so long for super wide bars to catch on! after all cut em if there too long!

z-man (May 7, 2009 at 0:46)

760 aint big, i want 800

pinityoufairy (May 7, 2009 at 3:14)

me too

bigburd (May 7, 2009 at 3:54)

what is it with peoples obsession with bars that are so wide ? i see so many kids with huge bars that are far to wide for them as they cant keep their chins from thier stems.

fullbug (May 7, 2009 at 6:06)

leverage is key but I agree some guys look like they're getting crucified on the way down..that or they look like they're turning a bus

stryke (May 7, 2009 at 8:30)

lol 800mm bars, even pros dont run that wide

ilikebikes1 (May 7, 2009 at 10:00)

i just find wide bars keep you more stable and easier to rail berms and what not

stryke (May 7, 2009 at 10:06)

for sure, but theres a limit

z-man (May 7, 2009 at 10:06)

yes stryke, they do!! bigger bars are A LOT more stable aty hight speeds, with way more accurate steering.

stryke (May 7, 2009 at 10:14)

im saying you cant need that much stability.. 800mm is like turning a truck especially considering peoples average size, why not just tighten your headset up too much or something?

for instance, most of the top wc guys run under 745mm, and most of them are 6'3+

fullbug (May 7, 2009 at 10:47)

guys are running it moto-style. I've been on a CR with 800 Renthals but it's got a motor and much bigger ergos to deal with..gotta agree w/stryke

stryke (May 7, 2009 at 10:49)

i ride 800s on motos too, but they weigh alot more and have a motor like you said i think 750mm is about as wide as anyone needs, and i dont see why companies need to release 800s for push bikes

fullbug (May 7, 2009 at 10:52)

great suspension is lost when your arms and shoulders are locked-out! haha! Oh well..to each his own.

game (May 7, 2009 at 11:37)

hey if you ever ridin a dirtbike, it'll change your perspective, anyways like the man said hacksaw or pipe cutter.

freerideluke (May 7, 2009 at 12:05)

iv got 800's on my bike.

frolosophy (May 7, 2009 at 16:31)

i think really wide bars are overrated. i've ridden wide and i've ridden short. my bars are about 27" at the moment and i'd probably enjoy a 30" again (although on tighter courses, i'm much faster with shorter bars) but that's the limit. unless you're 7' tall you don't need wider than 30" bars. if you honestly need wider than a 30" bar in order to maneuver your bike, cut your bars and pick up some weights.

ilikebikes1 (May 7, 2009 at 19:55)

i dunno dude i used to run narrower bars on my slayer than on my rmx and i can shred them pretty much equally well but the rmx is just a bit better for cornering i find its super driftable with the wider bars plus your racing in ontario and our runs arent very tight

frolosophy (May 7, 2009 at 20:21)

personal preference i guess. you're tall and skinny and wide bars make sense on your huge bike. unless you are really tall though, you don't need really wide bars.

ilikebikes1 (May 8, 2009 at 9:31)

yeah i guess so

game (May 9, 2009 at 12:46)

people focus too much on the whole shoulder to bar width thing. Think about the proportions of the actual bike, wider bars allow you to weight your bike more effectively in corners, along with opening up your shoulders helping with impact. Watch sam hill ride and his body positioning and technique, wouldn't work with skinny bars.

edd-stevens (Nov 9, 2009 at 13:22)

if companys produce 800mm bars it makes them more suited to a wider range of riders. thus increasing there sales! , think about it , it takes what? 5 minutes to cut 25mm from each end of the bar. wont kill you!
