Nobody said being a BMX rider is easy! Even the best can go down hard and find themselves in the ER getting stitched up.

Check out the video, then learn more about the bars! They are available through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Kink worldwide now, and in the Kink webstore! Also, make sure you check out Dan’s signature Contender frame!

“Dan Coller’s signature Contender bars are perfect for taller riders, coming in at a comfortable 9.75” rise. The Contender bars are the first set of bars from Kink to offer pre-defined cutting grooves at 0.25” intervals. Coming with a stock 29.5” width, they can easily be cut down to 29”, 28.5”, 28” or 27.5” without breaking out the tape measure. Made from 13-butted chromoly tubing, and our TruTherm post weld heat treatment process, ensures these bars can stand up to all kinds of riding. Being ridden and trusted by Dan Coller daily, can attest to the Contender bars strength.

Cult – Dakota Roche 1″ OD Bar & Stem

Leave a Comment

It looks like your options for the larger 1″ oversized bars and stems have grown. Wethepeople and BSD have offered the size for about two years now, but it really hasn’t caught on too much. It looks like Cult have decided to give it a shot and have released their new Dakota Roche signature 1″OD Dak Bars and Dak Stem for you to check out. Above is a short promo filled with some heavy clips from Dak you won’t want to miss and below is specs and details on both items. Just remember, if you decide to make the switch to the 1″ OD size, you’ll need BOTH bars and a stem!

First off, let’s explain the size… The traditional BMX bars and stem size works well, but with the way BMX riders have progressed and been sending it on bigger and gnarlier setups (IE: Dak’s video above), the larger diameter gives you increased strength and more stem grab to prevent breaking and resist slipping. This is definitely ideal for the crazier riders out there that have had issues with breaking bars.

DAKOTA ROCHE SIGNATURE DAK 1″ OD STEM

The Dakota Roche signature DAK 1″ OD stem is made from CNC machined 6061 aluminum with a 51mm reach and 32mm rise. The stem has the larger 1″ diameter for clamping with beveled edges, a rounded back, solid chromoly bolts and a recessed top for a flush fork cap. The body of the stem also has an engraved Dak logo. Available in Black only for $64.99 through Cult dealers worldwide and online.

DAKOTA ROCHE SIGNATURE DAK 1″ OD BARS

The Dakota Roche signature Dak bars in the 1″ OD size are made from 100% heat-treated and butted chromoly tubing with a 28″ width, 11-degrees of backsweep and 2-degrees of upswpeep. The bars feature that larger 1″ diameter tubing where the stem clamps, then tapers down to the standard size so they will feel like traditional bars. There’s cult lines on the ends to help trim the bars down if you need to as well.

The Dak 1″ OD bars come in Black and Chrome color with 8.85″ and 9.5″ rise options for $64.99 through BMX shops and mail-orders that carry Cult worldwide.

Reminder: You need BOTH a 1″ OD stem and 1″ OD bars. You can’t take your existing bars or stem and match them with the larger size, unless you already have a WTP or BSD stem or bars with that same size.

Wethepeople BMX – Dan Kruk Stallis Bars Promo

Leave a Comment

Dan Kruk puts his signature Stallis Bars from Wethepeople to work…

The crew at Wethepeople coming in hot with a banger of a promo video featuring Dan Kruk putting his signature Stallis Bars to good use out in the streets. Dan tends to ride his bars a little Chicago, which pushes a lot of peoples buttons, but when you ride as good as Dan does (the video is more than enough proof) you can do whatever the hell you want. Check out the video, then learn more about the bars below!

“Dan Kruk has a progressive handle bar angle and some next-level progressive moves to go along with it. If you have ever seen Dan ride you know he needs bars that will hold up to what he can throw at them when he working on his next NBD. His signature “Stallis” bar is strong enough for Dan which means it will be more than strong enough for you. These are made to Dan’s exact specifications so he can take them out of the box and ride them with no modifications so you know they are the right size for throwing the bars. Luckily the angle you choose to run them is up to you.
