The guys at Burgtec clearly have their finger on the pulse when it comes to handlebars. Their original downhill bar came in at 750mm, which at the time was considered pretty damn wide, but owing to increasing trends towards ever wider bars, the current Ride Wider sits at a hefty 780mm. This should be more than wide enough to suit everyone’s cockpit requirements, but laser etched cut down marks are there should they need trimming. Gone are the flat offerings, Burgtec seeing a falling demand for flat bars, but a 15mm rise option now compliments the 30mm rise model. Sweep is sensible at 9 back and 4 up, but rolling these forward or back shouldn’t be a problem thanks to the etching on the clamp area. Weight is a very sensible 310g, which is impressive for a bar that passes and exceeds MX testing standards. If you want something to match your wild colour scheme then these might not be the best bet, only coming in shot peened black with yellow decals. The price is very sensible for a bar of this quality, and you know if you’re buying Burgtec, you’re buying British.
