The Spank SPIKE 35 Vibrocore model has been specially designed with adrenaline junkies and trail-blazers in mind for the ultimate off-road riding experience. Boasting a strong Zirconium doped 7-series alloy construction with a shot-peened and anodised finish, this stunning bar looks as amazing as it performs. Thanks to its stiffer and stronger material, this state-of-the-art riser bar can handle all the knocks and bumps of weaving between the trees. To top it off, it comes fully equipped with the revolutionary Vibrocore injected proprietary foam which dampens the impact of trail vibrations in your hands and arms for a more comfortable and stable ride. By reducing arm fatigue and hand numbness, you can spend more time finding the perfect trail and making the perfect landing. Downhill (DH) and Freeride (FR) ready, the ultra-wide, 820mm Spank SPIKE 35 Vibrocore bar has a big and burly 35mm bar clamp with increased strength and stiffness compared to conventional 35mm alloy bars. It’s also injected with Spank’s proprietary foam called Vibrocore™, which provides outstanding shock and vibration damping. It's weight-optimised and can be cut down to 740mm to suit your preference.
The Spike Pedals from Spank have been specially designed for thrill-seekers who need a glued-on feeling of extreme grip, making pedalling not only effortless but also more powerful with every rotation. Boasting an impressive 12mm thin forged MGR aluminium body which is seriously strong and provides maximum pedalling clearance thanks to the design putting your foot closer to its axle. The axles are made from forged hollow tapered CrMo construction which makes them robust and weight a lot less than other materials, weighing in at only 420g per set. The pedal design features 20 steel pins in a special configuration that offers outstanding grip without adding any more thickness to the overall pedal. The spikes are finished with an aesthetically pleasing and highly practical chamfered leading edges, which deflect rock and tree root strikes to help you maintain control and speed. The oversized industrial sealed bearings and IGUS bushings guarantee smooth performance and outstanding durability.
Genuine high-quality replacement Spank parts. These bearings are also compatible with the rear Spoon wheels (with Spike hubs) that have been produced since 2016.
A handy replacement or upgrade kit for 150x12mm hubs and those already converted to 157x12mm.
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 Spank SPIKE 800 Race bar has been developed along with some of the World’s top downhill (DH) and Enduro pros and utilised a unique construction of Super-6™ aluminium, Spank’s patented CNC bending, and its Dual-Extreme-Gradual Taper (XGT) technology. Performance Optimised Race Bar The result of this collaboration and advanced construction has meant that the Spank SPIKE 800 Race handlebar is stronger, safer and performance optimised. The Spank Spike 800 Race has an ideal geometry for control and a low weight, making it perfect for aggressive All Mountain (AM), Enduro or Downhill (DH) Racing. Dual XGT (Extreme Gradual Taper) Technology This is a proprietary tube drawing process that tapers the bars from the thickest area at the bar clamping zone, slowly and gradually through the bend zones, to the thinnest areas at the control zones and back to thicker reinforced bar end zones, or “Impact Ends”. Spank has utilized FEA (Finite Element Analysis), laboratory, and rigorous real-world testing to optimise the spread of material to where it is needed to withstand the specific forces at work in each zone while offering better protection against crashes than ever before. The extreme precision enabled by Dual XGT drawing processes also eliminates the need for heavy hand grinding, which can result in imperfections and inconsistency in wall thickness. Impact Ends The Impact Ends reduce the chance of collapse in areas where the wall is thinner and in heavy impacts. These can also be used to support bar ends in the relevant disciplines CNC Bending The precision of 3D CNC Bending in a single fixture allows Spank to optimise their designs further and eliminate the heavy grinding process, making their bars lighter, stronger, and safer! Spank has also taken extra work hardening steps to ensure the stem clamping area of the bar is uniformly cylindrical and true, and as tough as possible Super-6 Aluminium This is a specially blended, highly magnesium-silicon enriched, work-hardened alloy. Super-6 offers the perfect mix of hardness, yield, fatigue life, and a superior ultimate tensile strength to standard 6 series alloys. It is ideal for the creation of thin-walled, super-stiff handlebars. Through the recent adoption of Super-6 materials, Spank’s Spike, Subrosa, and Oozy handlebars are now stronger and show greater resistance to deformation than ever before.
Equipped with a chamfered clamp, the Race 2 uses a four-bolt locking mechanism to maintain a tight and protective hold on your bar, while the steerer-end ensures a positive engagement with your forks. A zero rise-angle keeps your bar level for improved strength and poise. Shotpeen-finished and CNC weight-optimised, this tough stem is ideal for the tenacious all mountain and enduro rider.
This replacement freehub body is machined to the same high quality as the body that comes with the Spank Spike and Oozy wheels. This is the Alloy version, which although not having the same wear reduction as the steel freehub version, it is much lighter.
This MTB rear wheel features a tough alloy construction, which makes it ideal for handling all the abuse that's associated with all-day epics in the mountains. Spank has also equipped this version with tubeless-ready tyre compatibility and anti-burp rim hooks, which prevent pressure loss while holding your rear tyre firmly in place. Coming complete with triple-butted alloy nipples, this rear wheel provides you with smooth-rolling performance as you blast across the rock gardens, tree roots and debris at speed. - High-performance alloy rim for World Cup level downhill (DH) racers - Tubeless ready with anti-burp rim hooks to prevent the loss of pressure and keep tires firmly in place - The corrugated rim centre, a brand acclaimed technology, adds exceptional strength, making it more rigid and allowing the rim to be wider without adding material Options Explained: 12x148mm 29" Boost 29" SRAM XD: 12x148mm wide hub, 29" rim, SRAM XD freehub 12x148mm 27.5" Boost 27.5" Shimano: 12x148mm wide hub, 27.5" rim, Shimano HG freehub 12x148mm 27.5" Boost 27.5" SRAM XD: 12x148mm wide hub, 27.5" rim, SRAM XD freehub 12x142mm 27.5" 27.5" Shimano/SRAM: 12x142mm wide hub, 27.5" rim, Shimano HG freehub 12x142mm 27.5" 27.5" SRAM XD: 12x142mm wide hub, 27.5" rim, SRAM XD freehub 12x148mm 29" Boost 29" Shimano/SRAM: 12x148mm wide hub, 29" rim, Shimano HG freehub 12x150/157mm 27.5" 150mm 27.5" SRAM XD: 12x148/157mm wide hub, 27.5" rim, SRAM XD freehub

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.
The ideal set to replace or upgrade your Spank-made oozy and Spike hubs.
