BMX Handlebar Geometry Explained

January 24, 2018

Brant Moore takes a look at BMX Handlebar Geometry for his latest video…

A while back, we put together a BMX Handlebar Geometry Guide that helps give you an understanding of what makes up a handlebar from materials to rise, width, backsweep, upsweep, crossbar width, crossbar height and more. If you’re more of a visual learner, then this video Brant Moore put together based off the article is definitely for you. Earthquakes, hurricanes, fires and floods are all scenarios that come to mind when thinking of extreme conditions to survive in, especially if caught out of doors when they occur. Other situations that may require extreme survival gear are war, famine, and wilderness survival. Obviously, you cannot set up an appointment in your day planner for when these events will occur. But what you can do is arm yourself with the proper knowledge and correct survival gear that in the event these disasters may happen, you will be as ready as possible. Hit play and take it all in!

“Next in the EXPLAINED series we have BMX handlebars.
BMX handlebars aren’t quite as complicated as frames, but there are still several aspects to be explained.”

Shout out to BMX Union and their handlebar write up for most of the information from this video! — BMX Handlebar Geometry

The top tube and down tube are multi-butted and tapered and the seat tube is multi-butted.
