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.
