Spank Spike 800 Race Team Vibrocore Riser Bar features

Quality

Quality is without doubt one of the most important factors that we consider when buying bikes, parts, accessories or clothing. As you’d imagine it’s especially important when buying Handlebars. Let’s take at a look at the sort of things you can look at when trying to ascertain the quality of Spank Spike 800 Race Team Vibrocore Riser Bar.

The first thing is material. Looking at what Spank Spike 800 Race Team Vibrocore Riser Bar is made of will give you a really good idea of the quality overall. Take a look at the specs above and you should be able to see the material. It’s then up to you to decide if it meets your expectation.

Similarly you’ll also want to spend some time looking at the features too. Again the table above, listing the features will give you a really good overview. However you should think about the sort of features that you’d expect when buying new Handlebars. It’s worth writing a list of the “must-have” features so that you don’t end up compromising and missing some important features, or alternatively end up buying an unnecessarily high specced product.

There’s also a lot of merit in checking out the brand of the product and looking at the various brands that are selling Handlebars. Brands like Spank are of courses extremely well respected in the cycling community so you know you’re getting a fantastic product with them. But if you’re undecided on your product you should write up a list of brands that you’d be happy to buy. It’s a great way of filtering and narrowing down the number of products when you’re searching.

Next up you’ll want to think about the price and use that as a guide to set your expectations of the quality. If you’re buying the cheapest of the options in the Handlebars category you should probably expect it to not be of as good quality as the most expensive. It sounds obvious of course. But this is where you can get a bit clever and use your combination of features, specs, materials and other factors to work together to get a really good quality product at the best price. We often draw up a list of “must-haves” and use these as filters when shopping online so that you’re only seeing products that meet your criteria. You can then sort by Price>Low to get the best deals.

Spank Spike 800 Race Team Vibrocore Riser Bar Reviews

Reading reviews is an amazing way of getting a good feel for a product without actually being able to try it or see it first.

There are two different types of reviews, and we also recommend reading both.

1. Expert reviews – In the cycle industry there are loads of really reliable trusted resources for expert reviews. For example if you’re looking to buy a new bike, BikeRadar Bike Reviews are great.

2. Customer reviews – these are probably your best resource for information. There’s no finances or influence involved, they’re purely just honest reviews from customers that have bought and used the product. The reason we love customer reviews so much is because no matter if their view is good or bad, there’s a very good chance that it will be honest and unbiased.

Our best advice is to head over to Chain Reaction Cycles and read the Spank Spike 800 Race Team Vibrocore Riser Bar reviews there.

• Description: Spank Spike 800 Race Team Vibrocore Riser BarSpank Team edition riser handlebars with Vibrocore technology.The theory behind Spank’s VIBROCORE Impulse and Fatigue Dampening System is simple. Like all forms of energy, the vibrational energy that is transmitted through your bars to your hands, is made up of waves, which can be measured in amplitude and frequency. The more dense a material, the higher its ability to transmit energy waves. Alloys have a very high density, and in turn transmit vibrational energy very effectively. VIBROCORE is a complex, low density material which fills the core of the handlebar, reducing the frequency, amplitude, and duration of energy waves. Not only does the low density of the VIBROCORE impede the transfer of energy, but as energy waves cross material boundaries from high density to low density, they are refracted and reflected (basically bounced in different directions), reducing their ability to build on one another or sustain vibrational frequencies. Where competitors have been forced to design unwanted flexibility into their bars, Spank’s VIBROCORE system also acts to reinforce the handlebar from the inside, resulting in a more responsive performance and improved sensitivity. The result is a handlebar that feels incredibly strong and rigid, AND acts to reduce impulse and vibrational fatigue. Testing with World Cup Dh racers like Mick and Tracey Hannah, has shown that by reducing the “white noise” vibration from riding, VIBROCORE handlebars enhance tactile sensitivity between rider, bike, and terrain, while reducing fatigue. When races are won or lost by milliseconds, this can make all the difference.Features:Vibrocore Impulse and Vibration Dampening CoreSuper 6mg R Processed AlloyDual XGT Tapers with Impact EndsCNC BentSpecificatons:Clamp Diameter: √ò¬†31.8mmRises: 15/30mmLength: 800mm¬†Geometry: 4° Up/8° BackWeight: from 325gBuy¬†NS Bikes Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World’s Largest Online Bike Store.
