Crew Bars

Product Overview

The Crew Bars are classic-geometry BMX handlebars made from 100% heat-treated butted chromoly with feel-good dimensions for all-around riding. Available in three rise options (9", 9.35", 9.65") with 30" width, 12° backsweep, and 2° upsweep, these bars provide comfortable positioning for street, park, and freestyle BMX. Offered in black and chrome finishes.

Key Features

• 100% heat-treated butted chromoly construction – Post-heat-treated chromoly steel with variable wall thickness provides optimal strength-to-weight ratio and durability for aggressive riding
• Classic feel-good geometry – Time-tested dimensions and angles that work across multiple riding styles and rider preferences
• Three rise options – 9", 9.35", and 9.65" rise heights allow precise height selection based on rider size and preference
• 30" width – Standard modern width balances control and leverage; can be trimmed for narrower preference
• 12° backsweep – Generous backward angle provides natural, relaxed wrist positioning and reduces fatigue
• 2° upsweep – Subtle upward angle complements backsweep for comfortable hand placement without excessive bend
• Two finish options – Available in black (painted or powder-coated) and chrome-plated finishes

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

These bars fit BMX stems—the clamp diameter isn't specified but is likely standard or oversized (25.4mm or 31.8mm). Verify your stem's clamp diameter before ordering to ensure proper fit. The 22.2mm grip area is universal and fits all BMX grips. The three rise options accommodate different rider heights and preferences:

• 9" rise: Suits riders approximately 5'7" to 5'11" or those who prefer lower, more compact positioning
• 9.35" rise: Mid-option for riders 5'9" to 6'1" wanting balanced height
• 9.65" rise: Tallest option for riders 6'0" and above or those who prefer maximum upright positioning

The minimal differences between rises (0.35" increments) allow fine-tuning based on personal preference and riding style. The 30" width is standard for modern BMX and provides good leverage for control without excessive width—can be cut down using a pipe cutter or hacksaw, always cutting equally from both sides. The 12° backsweep is generous and creates relaxed wrist angles that reduce strain during extended sessions—beneficial for riders experiencing wrist discomfort or fatigue. The minimal 2° upsweep keeps bars relatively flat while adding subtle ergonomic benefit. Best suited for street, park, and all-around freestyle riding where the "classic feel-good geometry" provides comfortable, proven dimensions that work for most riders. The heat-treated butted chromoly construction balances durability with weight—butting removes material from low-stress areas while maintaining strength where needed. Chrome finish offers timeless aesthetic and corrosion resistance but shows scratches and wear; black finish hides damage better but may chip on hard impacts. Ideal for riders wanting reliable, comfortable bars with proven geometry rather than extreme or experimental dimensions.
