SPIKE 800 Race Bar, 15R Black

I got the blue in the 50r spec. I've been running nearly flat bars most of my life but over the last few years have transitioned more to all mountain/downhill riding and these have completely changed the way the bike feels, particularly on steep descents the riding position overall makes you feel much more confident and in control (where as flat bars on steep descents can give you more of a feeling of going over the bars, not to mention the general riding position is more comfortable. Feels more similar to riding a dirt bike. The steering does feel more vague on flat trails and turns with a hint more understeer feel. Climbs have your arms just a bit more tucked towards your chest but I'd say the benefits I get from it otherwise overshadow these cons.The quality of the bars seems good. I trimmed them down to 780 and found the measurement marks on my bars to be fairly close. One side was spot on and the other side was off by about 1mm. Like any bars, if your going to trim them it is best to use a measuring device to get the most accurate measurements. They cut pretty clean with a pipe cutter. Although I wouldn't necessarily recommend it, I was able to drill and debur two small holes in the bars to route cables for my ebike controls. I have around two dozen hard rides on them so far and they have held up well. The bar ends also work well with the Granite stash in-bar tools. The color is a very rich vibrant blue and seems to match most aftermarket anodized blue parts colors pretty well.If you are debating about which meauremnt to go, I'd say if you ride primarily cross country go with the flatter bars and if you do a mixtures of steep stuff and cross country, somewhere in the middle. But if you ride mostly downhill stuff like myself then go for the higher r.

These bars, work wonderfully and take a lot of pressure off of my arms while mountain biking. Thank you Amazon.

Took off 15mm from both ends. Bar is still wide, but I love how it feels and handles great. Beautiful looking bar. ll

2nd set of these bars. Work great and love the rise!

Love these barsThanks

Like the looks and feel of these bars. They ride well.

As described, this is my second bar from them. The rise is perfect, sweep is good, color is spot on. I will say this though, everyone says it comes with a fender as the packaging. This is my second one that came in a standard spank cardboard box with no fender. Some may have gotten one, some didn’t, if that is the tipping point to go for this bar, be aware that it’s a 50/50 chance you get the fender.

great for helping lower back pain as there high rise

Has a short distance from centre to grip so you don't loose as much distance. If you run a short stem sometimes the grips can actually be behind the steering axis of the fork.

Richtige Höhe am E Mtb sehr robust und sieht toll aus. 50 er Rise.

Un bel manubrio che non ha nulla da invidiare a renthal o altri, leggero e ben studiato, vediamo nel tempo...

Wie man auf dem Bild sehen kann, ist die Beschriftung vollkommen außermittig. Besonders toll, wenn man sich beim kürzen darauf verlässt und im Anschluss überrascht feststellt, dass die beiden Endstücke unterschiedliche Längen haben...Eine Seite passt, die andere Seite ist gut 2-3mm verschoben.Auch die Skala in der Mitte des Lenkers zum Ausrichten am Vorbau ist meiner Meinung nach nicht mittig. Das ist jedoch schwierig zu messen und auf einem Foto festzuhalten.Dadurch ist die Beschriftung vollkommen nutzlos und es wird zum Glücksspiel, ob man den Lenker am Ende auch symmetrisch kürzen/montieren kann.
