ODI Controlled Flex Technology 1 1/8-Inch Handlebar Black - H914CFB

Building off of our CFT platform in 2013, we constructed the PODIUM bar from a hi tensile strength alloy for more durability. Although you give up some comfort in the flex of the material, it is more than made up for with the added strength CFT - Controlled Flex Technology Handlebar. Utilizes an elastomer shock system in the center of the cross bar, the CFT eliminates harsh vibrations and chatter caused by flex in non braced handlebars. By using a hi flex alloy, the CFT allows for the comfort desired in a brace less handlebar while at the same time slowing down the rate of flex that cause the vibrations and chatter.

The ODI H914CFB handlebar builds upon the innovative CFT platform introduced in 2013, offering enhanced durability through high tensile strength alloy construction. Crafted from seamless double-butted 2014-T6 alloy, this handlebar is designed to withstand demanding riding conditions while maintaining optimal performance. The handlebar's controlled flex feature utilizes a patent-pending CFT crossbar with an elastomer shock system in the center, effectively reducing harsh vibrations and chatter caused by flex in non-braced handlebars. This technology provides a balanced compromise between comfort and strength, making it ideal for riders seeking durability without sacrificing ride quality.

Each handlebar is shot-peened and hard anodized, ensuring improved durability and resistance to wear. The oversized 1-1/8-inch clamp diameter enhances grip security when mounted with compatible oversize bar clamps. The design incorporates a lightly knurled left slide for improved grip adhesion without interfering with lock-on grips, offering riders enhanced control. The handlebar is finished with titanium-colored clamps, crossbar connector, and matching ODI graphics, providing a sleek aesthetic. Additionally, it includes an injection-molded high-density ODI SX8 50mm EVA crossbar pad for added rider comfort and safety. Multiple bend options are available to cater to different riding styles, making this handlebar a versatile choice for mountain biking enthusiasts.

Designed to reduce rider fatigue and vibrations, the ODI Controlled Flex Technology handlebar is a reliable component that combines strength, innovation, and comfort. Whether you are tackling technical trails or aggressive downhill routes, this handlebar offers the durability and performance needed for demanding mountain biking adventures. Its high-quality materials and advanced features make it a top choice for riders looking to enhance their bike's handling and ride experience.
