[Closed] Why are XC bars heavier then DH bars?

Neither does your searching.

Go have another go 🙂

what xc bars are you looking at?

I have some XC handlebars that weigh 115g.

Same reason that dh bikes have shorter travel than xc race bikes.

Half a kilo for xc bars?! Where you looking?

Were the XC bars made of a wooden broom handle?

Sweepstake on what the OP actually found which weighed 400-600g?

I'll have tyre

Are you looking at 3-packs or something?

I got it, he's looking at energy bars.

DH ones are smaller as you only ride downhill.

XC ones are bigger as you need energy for climbs too.

Because XC lads like climbing to hurt

Extra weight at the front to keep the front wheel down when climbing.

Are they 650b specific bars?

Everyone knows the more suspension you have, the smaller your 'bar' is. That being said I didn't know people weighed them...

You should go for Enduro bars!

Maybe the 400-600g included the bar ends?

XC Bars were probably one piece bar stem combo loaded with shifters, brakes and grips.

Maybe they included a set of Profile Durangos....

I had a pair of these.

Maybe he was on a different planet when he weighed the XC bars
...one way or the other

Would love to know where the OP was looking and what time of the morning it was and what he had partaken in the night before etc.
