{"product_id":"hex-lab-oversized-titanium-handlebar","title":"Box Hex Lab Oversized 31.8mm Flat Titanium Handlebar","description":"\u003cp\u003eNow that the Lockheed SR-71 \"Blackbird\" has been retired, the titanium market has opened wide up... and boy, have Box jumped on the ultra-light, titanium made wagon with these beauties!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Box handlebars are engineered and crafted using our Oversized Technology. Handlebars have a dual purpose as they contribute to both steering and pedalling stiffness. By strategically varying wall thicknesses and tube diameters, we have moved material from 3 low-stress areas to zones of high load. This has greatly minimised twist and contributed to responsiveness. Concurrently we have increased pedalling stiffness by providing a backstop to the “lifting” phenomenon. There is no point pushing hard on your pedals if you can’t pull up on your handlebars and deliver that power. Power can easily be lost to handlebar-deflection and the consequences can lead to poor power delivery and steering control. When combined with Box’s other Oversized components, you’ll experience heightened responsiveness and reduced latency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey differences: This particular model handlebar is tailored for larger-sized racers. Titanium allows us to explore the structural rigidity of steel, but without the weight compromise. It is a solution as exotic as carbon fibre but gives a slightly different result for the discerning racer. Carbon will contribute to a more aggressive steering response, while titanium will feel highly sensitive but more refined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOversized™ Technology:\u003cbr\u003e• Titanium - Strength of Steel Without Its Weight\u003cbr\u003e• Titanium - More Refined Steering Response vs. Carbon\u003cbr\u003e• Massive Clamp Interface for Steering Stiffness\u003cbr\u003e• Variable Wall Thickness to Reduce Weight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: 6AL 4V Titanium\u003cbr\u003eProcess: Extruded and Mandrel Formed\u003cbr\u003eFinish: Laser-Etched Graphics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize:\u003cbr\u003e• Bar Bore: 31.8mm\u003cbr\u003e• Sweep: 3° back, 2° up\u003cbr\u003e• Width: 28.25”\u003cbr\u003e• Height: 7.5 inch, 8 inch, 8.5 inch\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompatibility:\u003cbr\u003e• Clamp Diameter: 31.8mm\u003cbr\u003e• Grips: 22.2mm\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 680 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeets or exceeds ENBMX Category 2 standards\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Advance Traders","offers":[{"title":"Raw \/ 8 Inch","offer_id":49406543167789,"sku":"BXHBH22F31880TI","price":508.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0720\/2003\/3837\/files\/box-hex-lab-oversized-31_8mm-flat-titanium-handlebar-bars-advance-traders-raw-8-inch.jpg?v=1747895238","url":"https:\/\/www.luxbmx.com\/en-us\/products\/hex-lab-oversized-titanium-handlebar","provider":"LUXBMX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
