S&M 5″ Race Handlebar

Product Overview

The S&M 5″ Race Bar is a chromoly cruiser handlebar designed for BMX racing and aggressive riding with minimal sweep for forward positioning. The 5-inch rise and 29-inch width provide leverage for gate starts and control during racing, while the low sweep angles maintain an aggressive, forward stance. Built from 4130 chromoly steel and manufactured in the USA.

Compatibility and Ideal Use Cases

These bars fit any standard 7/8-inch BMX stem and are designed for 20-inch, 22-inch, and 24-inch cruiser racing where an aggressive forward position and maximum leverage matter. The minimal sweep keeps your hands positioned forward for powerful gate starts and sprint acceleration. Best suited for BMX racing, training sessions, and aggressive street riding rather than casual cruising where more swept-back angles would be more comfortable. The 29-inch width provides control without being excessively wide for technical maneuvering through traffic or tight track sections.
