The Tangent Vortex Expert Alloy Bars (6.5" Rise, Black) are lightweight, professional-grade aluminum handlebars designed for BMX racing. This 6.5-inch rise version is ideal for older or taller youth racers transitioning within the expert categories, offering extra front-end height without the weight penalties associated with traditional chromoly steel bars.
Core Technical Specifications:
Material Construction: High-grade, heat-treated 6061-T6 custom-butted alloy.
Rise: 6.5 inches, providing the tallest cockpit height in the Vortex Expert lineup.
Weight: Precisely 416 grams (compared to 336g for the 4.5" model).
Clamp Area: Standard 22.2mm stem clamping surface.
Rider Weight Limit: Rated for a maximum rider weight of 110 lbs (50 kg).
Key Performance Highlights:
Optimized Body Leverage: The taller 6.5" rise improves leverage for growing riders, enhancing performance when pumping through rhythm sections or pulling out of the starting gate.
Pro-Level Butting: Internal tubing walls are systematically thinned in areas where extra material isn't needed, reducing weight while maintaining strict structural rigidity.
Strict Safety Parameters: The aluminum construction requires adherence to the 110-pound weight limit to ensure long-term structural integrity during heavy racing stresses.
Whether you're upgrading for performance or transitioning within the expert categories, the Tangent Vortex Expert Alloy Bars deliver a competitive edge with their lightweight design and optimized geometry.
