Merritt – 4-Piece Slaughter Bars Promo

Merritt have released their new 4-piece Slaughter Bars for you to get your hands on. To celebrate, they put together this promo featuring their squad putting the bars to heavy use out in the streets. This is a mix of some great riding, along with a detailed look at the bars and geometry. Hit play and take it all in! Check out more on the bars right here on Source BMX.

“Our new Slaughter bars have landed. The bars are designed and made to be extra strong without being overbuilt. The bends of the uprights and crossbar provide maximum welding surface area for ultimate strength. Further down the uprights ovalize and wrap around the stem clamp bar, again maximizing welding area and reducing flex associated with taller handlebars. Constructed of multi-butted 4130 chromoly and post-weld heat-treated. With 2° upsweep and 12° backsweep, they are 29.25” wide and available in 9” and 9.25” rises. Tested and trusted by Greg Henry, Ricky Lopez, Anthony Catlow, Oscar Ruiz, ZJ Henderson, Marc Ramos and the rest of the team.” – Merritt

Nobody said being a BMX rider is easy! Even the best can go down hard and find themselves in the ER getting stitched up. Kink dropped this new promo featuring Dan Coller putting his signature Contender Bars to work before finding a bed at the ER for a pretty nasty gash on his head. 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.
