Anti-squat is tuned to enhance pedaling performance and acceleration but doesn't get in the way of the suspension working when it's needed.
With nearly 30% of progression and a consistent linear rate of change, the Spur has an excellent balance of support and small bump sensitivity. Because, we get it, sometimes you just want to grab your bike and GiddyUp, without checking your setup. The GiddyUp suspension system is designed to behave intuitively across a broad range of setup. We want to make it as easy as possible to experience great rear suspension performance. More stability when going fast, more agility on technical slow speed maneuvering as well as improved traction, control and confidence for any skill level of rider.Ĭheck Out Our Sizing Guide Understanding Effective Seat Tube Angle One of SBG's greatest benefits is that it creates a confident steering feel that adapts to wheel speed. This improves front to rear weight distribution on the bike, which is often out of balance on long and slack bikes. With SBG, a slacker head tube angle is combined with a all new reduced offset fork standard, preventing the front wheel from being too far in front of the rider. Also used on some Japanese and Taiwanese road bars (Nitto for example).Ģ2.2 Grip area of mountain bar as well as the clamp size of BMX bars.SBG ensures the bike maintains low speed agility, front wheel traction, and proper rider weight balance while actually increasing confidence in steep terrain and at high speeds. Compatible with 26.0 stems/handlebars.Ģ5.4 Formerly the most common size for mountain bike bars (previous to the oversize 31.8 clamp). Interchangeable mountain and road use.ģ1.7 Deda Elementi oversize clamp size (compatible with 31.8)Ģ6.4 Clamp size for old school Cinelli bars, no longer in use (though some stems may still be available).Ģ6.0 Formerly the most common size for road bars (previous to the oversize 31.8 clamp).Ģ5.8 Used by ITM, Ritchey, and 3T. Here's a list of the most common sizes and their use:ģ1.8 Common clamp diameter for modern oversize bars. What's the signifigance of 22.2mm? It's actually the same as 7/8", which was how they started out being measured. This is why you need to be sure to match up what shifters or brakes you plan to use with the grip area of the bar, along with the clamp size of the stem.īMX bars use the same diameter for both the stem clamp area as well as the grip area, 22.2mm. Road bike brake and shift levers (Shimano STI, Campagnolo Ergopower, stand-alone drop bar brake levers) are designed to fit a diameter of about 23.8mm. Mountain bike brake lever and shifter clamps are designed to fit a diameter of about 22.2mm. Here is where you will see the most variety - and here is where you need to keep in mind not only the clamp size of the stem you have or want to use, but also the diameter of the bar off of the bulge. A 26.0 bar shouldn't be used in a 25.4 mountain stem.Ĭruiser / Commuter Bars - Mustache, High Rise, Randonneur, Multi-Position If you are unsure of how they are measured check with the manufacturers web site or shoot us an email. Widths vary and some manufacturers measure the outside to the outside of the widest point of the bar while some measure the center to the center of the widest point. Road bars now mainly come in two different clamp sizes - the older 26.0, and the newer oversize 31.8. A 25.4 mountain bar shouldn't be used in a 26.0 road stem. Check with the manufacturer of the bar to see if that's an option. Widths vary widely, many bars are made to be cut down so you can buy it wide and work it down to what you like.
Mountain Bars come in two different clamp sizes - the older 25.4mm, and the newer 'oversize' 31.8. Mountain Bike Bars - Flat Bars, Riser Bars
One other measurement that is easily forgotten is the diameter of the bar off the bulge (where your grips go) which is typically most important when setting up a cruiser or a commuter bike, see below (Cruiser / Commuter Bars). The oversize clamp adds stiffness to the bar and it also reduces the amount of stems manufacturers need to produce. Now many bars are switching over to the newer standard for both mountain and road, 31.8. There are two major measurments to consider when looking at a new bar - the stem clamp size (the 'bulge'), and the overall width of the bar.įormerly mountain and road bars used different clamp sizes, 25.4 and 26.0 respectively. I like to break bars down to three different options: Mountain, Road, and Cruiser.
