ODI Controlled Flex Technology 1 1/8 inch Handlebar - Red

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 red is engineered for riders seeking a balance of strength and comfort. Built on the proven CFT platform introduced in 2013, this handlebar features a high tensile strength alloy construction that enhances durability while maintaining a lightweight profile. The handlebar's design incorporates a built-in elastomer shock system in the center of the crossbar, which effectively reduces harsh vibrations and chatter caused by flex in traditional non-braced handlebars. This innovative feature significantly improves rider comfort and reduces fatigue during extended rides, making it an excellent choice for aggressive riding styles or long-distance cruising.

Constructed from seamless double-butted 2014-T6 alloy, the handlebar offers exceptional strength and resilience. Each unit is shot-peened and hard anodized to further enhance durability and resistance to wear. The oversized 1-1/8 inch clamp diameter ensures a secure fit with compatible bar mounts, providing confidence during intense riding conditions. The handlebar's design includes a lightly knurled left slide that improves grip adhesion without interfering with Lock-On grips, offering a customizable and secure hold. The aesthetic appeal is complemented by Ti-colored clamps, crossbar connector, and matching ODI graphics, adding a sleek, professional look.

For added safety and comfort, the handlebar comes with an injection-molded high-density ODI SX8 50mm EVA crossbar pad. Multiple bend options are available to suit different riding styles and preferences, allowing riders to customize their setup for optimal control. The combination of advanced flex technology, high-strength alloy, and thoughtful design features makes the ODI Controlled Flex Technology Handlebar an excellent upgrade for motocross, downhill, or trail riding applications, delivering durability, reduced vibrations, and enhanced rider comfort.
