BMX Handlebar Geometry – EXPLAINED
BMX Handlebar Geometry – EXPLAINED
Next in the EXPLAINED series we have BMX handlebars.
BMX handlebars aren’t quite as complicated as frames, but there are still several aspects to be explained.
Once you’ve mastered handlebar geometry, learn about frame geometry! – https://youtu.be/B0pthz9HPI0

Excellent video! I’m planning on adding BMX bars to my hybrid ebike. Current bars are 1" diameter so I’m looking at this BSD FREEDOM OVERSIZED BAR. Wondering if there are others I should consider?
I just got a 29.5 wide bar but it seems too wide for my barspin so I’m cutting it down to 27.5….
What bars are those? And where can I find them?!
6:00 is the reason I came here . I bought a used bike that’s in pretty decent shape and the handlebars feel small so I have to hunch
I have a question I’m 5’8 and I want s&m perfect tens do you think I’m tall enough
So Odyssey Handlebars are around 80€ here. KHE Handlebars are around 30€.. with butted Tube Tecnology but which heat treatment ?!?
Would you suggest KHE Handlebars ?
What are you thinking about the KHE Brand overall ?
I am 6 feet tall and ride frontloader stem with 8" small Bars. Would you suggest bigger bars for me ? Maybe just a Toploader instead suits better ?
You doing great explanation !
If i’m riding park BMX, what geometry should i use for bars? (5,3)ft
i’ve just started riding do you think the lower back pain could be caused to just getting used to the bike because i rode mine for 10 mins and my back was in bits
I am 5 ft 6 or 8. I am about to start bmx racing with a 22 in frame. What type of geometry do you recommend.
I think I cut my basrs to short theyre about 26
You know the hoffman handlebars you showed when you mentioned 6 piece bar? The set in the middle sells for $200-250 now that is nuts but they were the most expensive handlebar at my local shop going for $90 but they will last a lifetime but in the event you chopped your bars too short you can actually get replacement grip tubes for those bars. I use to want them so bad because matt hoffman rode them enough with my rant love the vids Brant 👍great job😵
respectfully ur bars r wack
I got black ops,choronlgy handle bars.
I got redline,mx24.2008.kermit frog green color.i also Riden it on bmx race track..
Whats the Brand name of your Bars?
4 piece vs 2 piece?
Thnx for the info man!
What kind of bars are those
I’m planning on building a bike.
I’m 5 ft 4 in. And the only option for me is street since there’s no parks where I live.
What can you suggest? Sorry for the bother.
Me after all those videos: are my bars okay? Is my headset set idealy? Do I have right stem?
Great series
My bike better be bulletproof after this. Shiiiiit
Yo shaggy wheres scooby-doo
Dont take offence its a joke
4° vs. 1° upsweep? I’m about to buy a 9.25 rise bar with 12 backsweep and 28.5 wide. What do you recommend for the upsweep? Thanks man! From the Philippines.
its so crazy that you are the only one doing this sort of thing for BMX when there are millions of Channels for every other sport or smallest benign subject! keep up the good work! and thank you so much for all the information !!
Good video and beautiful handlebars
Edit:i have the same bars on my bmx bullet
Bouta get cult heavens gate bars is 3 upsweep a lot
The long john thoooooo!
Hey, I’m 5’7 and am thinking of getting 9.25" rise bars. Do you think that would help my hops and manuals as far as making it easier to pull up or harder?
Your bars are on a different level of ugly…don’t get me wrong i love your videos….but wow are those things butt.
I bought a total bmx bars 8.65 rise but when I measured it again, it is 9 rise lol
I just ride basic as 10.25 in rise bars because ima tall as dude😂
Did you use to ride trails?
I got a small rise handlebar and I feel that I am not comfortable doing the bunny hop, especially rising the front wheel, can you help?
Lmao I’ve bent like 3 pairs of 4130 bars
Tanks man!
It’s very
valuable.
I learned many things, that I didn’t know.
I agree with the low handlebars and pain in the lower back.
I wish you good health!
I’m looking into getting some new bars for my 2018 Performer. I’m looking for a 4 piece, mid school styled handlebar for customization purposes. My stock bars have a rise that’s slightly over 9 inches, so I know about what rise height I’d need for comfort. I want a little less backsweep on whatever trippy looking bars I get.
2020 if you see this. i am 48 and fixed a bmx bike. The bars where way Chicago forward, i pulled them back straight with forks. Seems hard to bunny hop this bike. even up a curb. Maybe push bars forward a little ? or Start lifting weights ? LOL hahahaha
My 4 piece hi ten bars broke at the bottom weld jumping off a 4 set. Very lucky the top weld held or I’d be missing my teeth.. Looking at new bars now. Not sure if I should buy 2 or 4 piece.. They will definitely be 4130… Although I am worried about my fork now. I’m not sure if it’s hi ten or 4130.
How do I know what material in my handlebar? It is a used complete Wethepeople bike, that was about 430 Euros 4 years ago. The handlebars are chrome, but have no idea what material they are
thank you for subtitles
which bars are that ?
Thnx man. Slowly upgrading my bike. Think bars and fork are in the future. This vid gave me an idea on what the descriptions mean on the sites.
5:42
I got a 20 inch Walmart bike and I’m around 5”7 what size handle bars should I get
What happened to 6pc handlebars. They used to be damn near a standard. If you watch late 90’s ESPN Xgames everyone was rocking 6pc bars. Why did the trend stop?
no wonder my free agent bars are lame. im 6’2 and there like 5" tall hahaha
What’s up with people cutting the width of their handlebars though? I feel left out when I see that I’m the only one riding with 30 inch width bars.
Do you live in Nebraska, having all those nowear products.
Chromoly steel is actually alloy steel grade 4130. The “30” at the end of the grade number designates that it has approximately 0.30% carbon by weight. Heat treatment is a different thing. Sweet videos man!
Maybe silly question how do you find your preference on up and back sweep without buying a bunch of bars?
