ODI Controlled Flex Technology 1 1/8 Inch Handlebar Black - H984CFB

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 Controlled Flex Technology 1 1/8 inch Handlebar in black is engineered for riders seeking a balance of durability and comfort. Built on the proven CFT platform introduced in 2013, this handlebar is crafted from a high-tensile strength alloy to withstand rigorous use while providing a controlled flex that reduces rider fatigue. Its innovative elastomer shock system located in the crossbar dampens harsh vibrations and chatter caused by flex in traditional handlebars, resulting in a smoother ride experience. The use of a hi-flex alloy in combination with Controlled Flex Technology allows for a handlebar that offers comfort comparable to brace-less designs without sacrificing structural integrity. This design helps absorb shocks and vibrations, making it suitable for demanding off-road and mountain biking conditions.
