Titanium. Three piece. 31.8mm clamp. 710mm width. Flipping light. Flipping expensive. Regular sweep. Or crazy mega-sweep (as in the pics).

the old expression springs to mind
If I have to ask how much, I wont be able to afford it
So I won’t
What are the benefits over a normal riser bar?
They’re going to be NUKEPROOF bars actually 🙂
Benefits. Extremely light (227g), lifetime guarantee.
So, why?
And I don’t mean to be rude but 227g isn’t extremely light – my EA70’s come in just over that (241g actual) so aside from the funky design and construction by Lynskey I’m not seeing any point in spending ‘Flipping Expensive’ category money.
Convince me?
Was I hearing about £1/g ??
227g is extremely light for a 710mm riser bar, with a lifetime guarantee.
I don’t do “convince me”. They’re clearly ridiculously expensive, but we like them.
Sorry – to confirm – pricing circa £200 ($250ish for US customers).
Yes. They look pretty cool. I’m sure they’ll appear on a lovingly whittled piece of polished chrome somewhere at the Handmade Bicycle Show next year. Personally, i’d like to see more non-riser bars – i.e. flatties with a nice sweep and wide heft; that would extol the virtue of form over function to me 🙂
Cheaper to make than a traditional design?
Sorry. I meant function over form – obviously…
eaaston dh bar is 710, 225g, and 70 quid cheaper…
or burgtecs are 40 grams heavier, 40mm wider, and 125 quid cheaper…
personally i wouldn’t, i’d get one of what i just listed, don’t like the tube sticking out the bottom. but each to their own….
You don’t do ‘convince me’? Ok, then how about this – why the interesting design, what advantages does it offer?
Would these count as uncontrovertible, scientific proof that you had more money than sense?
And bad taste that was rooted in the clunker movement.
Quite like the look, do like the lifetime guarantee, can’t afford it in titanium, will they be lifetime guaranteed in aluminium, or steel?
who’s lifetime? brant’s? your’s your bikes?
or the life of the bars up until they break? 🙂
They cant be that expensive, look at the bike there on!
what’s the rise ?
Is it wrong that I don’t trust welded handlebars? These Nukeproof ones, Titec H-bar, Jones H-bar, Groovy Luv Handles, I like them all but have this nagging feeling in the back of my head that these will fail. Stupid and irrational, my frame is welded and it hasn’t failed, but I’m no engineer, nor do I claim to know more than the designers of these bars (unlike some on here), so should I just buy a set?
be honest, they go up the other way don’t they. 😉
agree jupiter, don’t trust them for some reason, looks like the sides will fall off as soon as you hit any sort of bump, will the warranty cover all types of riding? Are they maybe not a bit easier on the arms over bumpy ground like a titanium frame is supposed to be or is that just a load of bollocks.
If people are worried a welded bar will fail, why are they not worried their welded frames won’t? I guess its ‘cos most riders have no clue about real engineering. Ah well.
Sorry but they look ugly and unfinished to me. One of those love or hate components I guess…a bit like those horrible bent Thompson layback seatposts. Ti or not, I wouldn’t spoil my bike with them if they were £20 never mind £200.
“Sorry but they look ugly and unfinished to me”
Ugly? You should see me at this time in the morning.
Unfinished? Yes – you’re quite right. Those are pre-production sample blast finish without graphics.
I fitted them to my bike and they made me smile, and their aesthetic comes purely from the construction method used.
God knows I like to spend money on bike parts, but as already pointed out, they’re not ‘extemely’ light, and are certainly uber expensive, compared to the competition. Also not a fan of the looks.
I’m sure some folk will like them, just not me.
