ODI Controlled Flex Technology 1 1/8 inch Handlebar - Black (Part No. H946CFB)

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 offers a high-performance solution built on the innovative CFT platform introduced in 2013. Crafted from a high-tensile strength alloy, this handlebar provides enhanced durability and strength while maintaining a comfortable riding experience. The design incorporates a controlled flex crossbar with an elastomer shock system at its center, effectively reducing harsh vibrations and chatter caused by flex in typical handlebars. This technology ensures a smoother ride, minimizes rider fatigue, and extends the longevity of the handlebar by absorbing impacts efficiently.
Constructed from seamless double-butted 2014-T6 alloy, the handlebar is shot-peened and hard anodized for superior durability and corrosion resistance. Its oversized 1-1/8 inch clamp diameter ensures a secure fit with compatible bar mounts, offering improved grip and stability. The handlebar features a lightly knurled left slide, providing excellent grip for the rider without interfering with Lock-On grips. The inclusion of a high-density ODI SX8 50mm EVA crossbar pad enhances comfort and safety during rides, making it suitable for aggressive riding styles. Multiple bend options are available to customize the fit to individual preferences, while the titanium-colored clamps, crossbar connector, and matching ODI graphics deliver a sleek, stylish appearance. This handlebar is designed for riders seeking durability, vibration reduction, and performance in a lightweight, reliable package, making it ideal for mountain biking, downhill, or enduro applications.
