Sixpack Leader750 handlebar


AT 305G, 750MM wide and with a 12.5mm rise, the Leader bar from Sixpack has a lot going for it, especially for the majority of trail riders who aren't after a crazy-wide bar.

The graphics are simple but include cut marks, in case you want to hack the ends down, and a decent marking in the centre for lining the bar up in your stem. The five-degree upsweep and seven-degree backsweep make for a flatter, more forward feeling bar than usual, which took some getting used to but became comfortable after a couple of rides. There's no harsh trail vibration and once you're used to the bar's shape, it's easy on the hands when you're riding.

PRICE 80$
