Truvativ’s Danny Hart signature Blackbox handlebar is the ‘Redcar Rocket’s’ take on the ever popular Boobar. Rather than continue to make minor modifications to cockpit setup (a 20mm rise with a 5mm spacer under the stem), Truvativ have made Danny Hart his own bar. Sporting the same butted 7050 alloy as the Boobar, weight is sensible at 340g, but as this comes in a bit heavier than the Boobar, you know strength will certainly be high. The 780mm width should suit everyone’s needs with the usual cut down marks if required. To suit Danny’s tastes the back-sweep is increased a further two degrees to nine, putting the weight of the rider further off the back of the bike. Up-sweep is kept at a comfy five degrees. A single 25mm rise option is on the money for a downhill bar, but anyone looking for something higher or lower will need to look elsewhere. Gold might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but don’t let the colour put you off as these bars are fantastic. Price is very much in the ballpark for a high quality, aluminium downhill bar as well.
