Thomson Titanium Flatbar

There's got to be some give with the take.

We’ll make no apology for the inclusion of this stunning Thomson titanium handlebar in the Dirt 100, only good reasoning. The market is riddled with cheap-as-chips aluminium bars, questionable carbon knock offs and reassuringly well-tested models in both materials. Plenty of choices, pick your width, rise, sweep and colour, bolt ‘em on and go ride. Titanium is rare but here she is, the Thomson Titanium Flatbar.

But titanium? Isn’t that the preserve of hardtails, road bikes and anorexic seatposts?

 

“Plenty of choices, pick your width, rise, sweep and colour, bolt ‘em on and go ride.”

Thomson is an engineering company at heart. Much of what they produce is in house and if they partner up with another manufacturer you can guarantee superb quality. Their range of products is small but well considered and with few if any compromises. This 780mm bar is up to date in its dimensions in every way, but what it is really about is ride quality. If you are coming from a brutally stiff DH bar that you’ve been running on your trail or enduro bike, then this will give your hands, wrists and lower arms all the love they need without compromising control and directness. At well over 300g for the full width 780mm bar (a 730mm version is available too) there are plenty lighter out there but the ride quality and finish make this a highly desirable option.

As smooth and as well damped a ride as money can buy. A huge chunk of cash for sure, but a real class act.
