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.
Carrying you from the top of the mountain slopes to the bottom, this rear wheel is engineered for maximum off-road performance. It features a rock-solid alloy construction, which makes it perfect at withstanding all the intensity that comes with long days in the mountains. Spank has also equipped this version with a built-in vibration damping system, which means that you'll benefit from a smoother riding experience as you ride across mixed terrain conditions. - The next generation in SPANK’s mountain bike rims with a built in vibration damping system. - Low sectional profile height and high width adds radial compliance while keeping high lateral stiffness and torsional strength.
This MTB rear wheel features a unique profile with low sectional profile and a wide width, which adds radial compliance. This means that you'll benefit from its lateral stiffness and superior traction as you ride across bumps at speed on your mountain bike. Spank has also equipped this trail-ready rear wheel with Vibrocore technology, which reduces harmful vibrations. This allows you to enjoy a smoother riding experience, while its clever technology increases the rim's longevity. This makes it an excellent upgrade for aggressive downhill and freeriding. - Unique profile with low sectional profile height and wide width, which adds radial compliance, while keeping high lateral stiffness. - Improved radial compliance for better traction over bumps and chatter, while reducing negative feedback to the rider. Performance and comfort enhanced. - Vibrocore™ inner well, reduces the transmission of harmful vibration frequencies, meaning less vibration for the suspension and rider, also increasing the fatigue life of the rim. - 30mm internal width is extremely versatile, fitting tires from 2.0” to 2.6” perfectly, and even allowing + size tire use, without negative squaring off of tire profiles. - Ideal for DH and Freeride.
Spank 350 Vibrocore™ Mountain Bike RimWide, strong but also lightweight, the 350 Vibrocore™ Mountain Bike (MTB) Rim is built to take on the toughest trails and help you to own them. Bringing you excellent stability and control at high speeds, Spank's tough aluminium construction ensures you'll keep rolling efficiently through challenging sections and when taking on huge drops and jumps.Strong and Light Downhill RimWith a unique low-profile height and width, you can trust this stiff and responsive rim for maximum performance as you take to the trails. Ideal for aggressive downhill riding, the Enhanced Vibrocore technology in the rim's inner well keeps your balance stable thanks to its reduction in harmful vibration frequencies over the roughest of terrains. The rim is also equipped with a BeadBite Anti-Burp System that reduces air loss from the tyre and an OohBah Inverted Inner Wall design that prevents twists and bends from riding impact. The 30mm internal width fits tyres from 2.0 to 2.6" as well as plus size tyres, making this trail-ready rim the ultimate choice for downhill and freeriding.Features:Material: High-Performance AluminiumRim Type: ClincherInner Width: 30.5mmOuter Width: 35mmBrake Compatibility: Disc brake onlySpoke Hole Count: 32Valve: PrestaTubeless Compatible: YesUse: Downhill (DH), Enduro, Freeride (FR)Technologies: BeadBite Anti-burp, OohBah Inverted Inner WallWeight: 27.5": 510g; 29": 545g (approx.)Technologies:BeadBite: At an incredible range of pressures, Bead Bite is the solution to keeping your tyres burp free and fixed in place. Bead Bite rim technology enhances tubeless use with tyres of all types and with a greater range of air pressures. Bead Bite 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 tyre as the bead conforms into them under air pressure. They dramatically increase frictional forces on the tyre bead, reducing the beads' ability to move vertically or horizontally (thus improving tyre stability and reducing burps). The bead becomes trapped between the vertical and horizontal ridges, even at very low air pressures. Even in tubed applications, Bead Bite rims tend to allow much lower air pressures with a reduced risk of pinch flatsOohBah: 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 tyre spread, leading to greater traction and improved comfort, and tyre performance.
