More and more companies are adopting the 35mm diameter bar size. First it was Easton, then Nukeproof, and now Kore with their OCD bar. Kore's version is 10% lighter, 10% stiffer, and 10% more expensive than their comparable 31.8mm model. It's 800mm wide, measures 5x7-degrees, and weighs in at just 289 grams. Stem wise, they also introduced the 50mm long Repute stem shown here and are working on a direct mount option as well. We're not able to spill the details yet, but expect to see some seriously lightweight stems made from a material you wouldn't expect coming out of the Kore camp in the next year.
