    The clamp diameter of the bar.

    Standard = 25.4mm
    OS = 31.75mm (or 31.8 or 31.6) ish

    IIRC it started around 1999 on road bikes and has gradually become more popular off road.

    I use OS on road but only on one of my mtbs and only then because I got a bargain carbon bar that was OS.
