The Spank SPIKE 800 Vibrocore bar is the ultimate choice for taking your riding up a notch. It's injected with Spank's special Vibrocore foam which decreases harmful vibrations in your hands and arms so you can increase your enjoyment when tackling harsher terrains for a more comfortable riding experience. Push your riding to the max with a stunning 800mm wide mountain bike (MTB) bar that looks as amazing as it performs and is easy to steer and manoeuvre through the trees.
The massive 35mm outer width of this rim allows you to run wider tyres for impressive uphill traction and downhill control. Plus, the BeadBite anti-burp hooks grip each tyre to the rim for a secure, uniform performance. Technologies: Vibrocore: Vibrocore technology is injected into Spank Vibrocore products and dramatically reduces vibrations that can lead to hand and arm numbness, fatigue and arm-pump. This additional technology also increases overall stiffness and fatigue life of the product. Vibrocore is one of the biggest innovations in Rim technology as it increases the radial compliancy, lateral stiffness and torsional strength while also damping vibrations from the trail. OohBah: The unique OohBah profile allows Spank to manufacture thinner-walled, wider-profiled, lighter rims without sacrificing strength or rigidity. Wider rims mean stiffer wheels and more tire spread, leading to greater traction and improved comfort, and tire performance. The ""wave"" shape of the OohBah inner tube adds strength and support to the vertical rim flange walls and prevent buckling. Normal straight or curved tube wells must be much thicker, and by default heavier, to offer the same support. BeadBite: At an incredible range of pressures, BeadBite is the solution to keeping your tires burp free and fixed in place. BeadBite rim technology enhances tubeless use with tires of all types and with a greater range of air pressures. BeadBite rims have 6 rows of tiny ridges that run along the vertical and horizontal faces of the bead seats. These tiny teeth create air seals between the rim and tire as the bead conforms into them under air pressure. They dramatically increase frictional forces on the tire bead, reducing the beads' ability to move vertically or horizontally (thus improving tire stability and reducing burps). The bead literally becomes trapped between the vertical and horizontal ridges, even at very low air pressures. Even in tubed applications, BeadBite rims tend to allow much lower air pressures with reduced risk of pinch flats.
Ready for fast and rowdy trails, this superb model features a tough alloy construction with 12 degrees of flare. This means you can enjoy superb balance and easy manoeuvrability as you explore the mountain. Spank has also given this version a Vibrocore foam core which reduces the transmission of harmful vibrations, so you can ride without worrying about suffering from hand or wrist fatigue.
This strong and versatile front gravel bike wheel features a durable alloy rim construction, which allows it to handle all the intensity that’s associated with multi-terrain rides. Spank has also kitted it out with Vibrocore technology, which uses its foam-injected core to dampen any harmful vibration on your travels. This makes it ideal for riders who like to ride agressively, without worrying about suffering from hand strain or fatigue. Coming complete with tubeless tyre compatibility, this front wheel gives you superior traction without adding unnecessary weight. - Disc specific, tubeless ready, clincher rim, with Vibrocore™, optimized for gravel and adventure rides - Vibrocore™ inner well reduces the transmission of harmful vibration frequencies, improving rider comfort and increasing the fatigue life of the rim - Low profile 16.5mm depth, and wide 27.5mm outer width enhances Radial Compliance, improving traction, while reducing negative feedback to the rider - Symmetric profile with wide 24mm inner width, optimizes tire spread with modern wide gravel tires, without compromising overall weight - Bead Nip tubeless bead seats provide reliable tubeless performance even at low pressures
The denser a material, the higher its ability to transmit energy waves. Alloys have a very high density, and in turn, transmit vibrational energy very effectively. Vibrocore is a complex, low-density material which fills the core of the Spank SPIKE 800 Race Vibrocore handlebar, reducing the frequency, amplitude, and duration of energy waves. Not only does the low density of the Vibrocore foam impede the transfer of energy, but as energy waves cross material boundaries from high density to low density, they are refracted and reflected (basically bounced in different directions), reducing their ability to build on one another or sustain vibrational frequencies. Testing of the Spank SPIKE 800 Race Vibrocore bar with World Cup downhill (DH) racers like Mick and Tracey Hannah has shown that by reducing the "white noise" vibration from riding, Vibrocore handlebars enhance tactile sensitivity between rider, bike and terrain while reducing fatigue. When races are won or lost by milliseconds, this can make all the difference.
Filled with an innovative Vibrocore foam, this Spank Flare 25 bar limits harmful vibrations while improving strength and longevity from the inside out. Built from a special Zirconium-Doped 7-Series alloy, it is designed with a round profile upper section which facilitates a wide range of rider/hand positions, while the 25-degree flare in the drops gives you plenty of room and support when riding low. Additional Bar Width Information: Width Between Bar Ends: 420mm: 562mm; 440mm: 582mm; 460mm: 602mm; 480mm: 622mm; 500mm: 642mm; 520mm: 662mm
The limited-edition Spank Vibrocore 800 bar boasts a downhill (DH) Race tuned award-winning alloy design that's injected with proprietary foam called Vibrocore. This material provides exceptional vibration damping to reduce arm pump and hand-numbness for a more comfortable ride. This state-of-the-art bar offers increased strength and stiffness compared to conventional alloy bars, so you can stay at the top of your game. Adjustable Mountain Bike Bar To top it off, the adjustable design of the Spank SPIKE 800 vibrocore handlebar means you can customise its length by cutting it down from 800mm down to 740mm to suit your riding preference. This is the ideal step-up for taking your bike's performance up a notch and its shot-peening and anodised finish reduces fatigue and stress so that you can push yourself to the max.
