Black Market Bada Boom 31.8mm Handlebar

(discontinued)

Oh My Gold. These bars are slightly off of the popular geometry, and somehow that makes them feel great. While I've bought newer bars from other brands in the past few years, I keep coming back to these. The 38mm rise version comes stock at 760mm... perfect and pretty standard. But the combo of upsweep/backsweep is just in the sweetspot for my kind of riding; big jumps drops and corners (Pacifica, CA). I can pull up off the lip nicely, as well as dump into deep berms and it just feels the most natural balance with my 150/160mm bike.

The gold is still shiny and new! But their logo cracked and peeled off. Can't have everything.

I actually never knew they were custom butted. Not knocking the product obviously! Just knocking their branding/communication.

These are good handlebars for the price, the rise and length provide comfort and control on many situations, if they would be a bit lighter, they would be great!
