STAYSTRONG Chevron Straight Race Black BMX Handlebar Ø22.2mm

The handlebar Stay Strong Chevron Straight Race is designed for demanding riders looking for a rigid, reliable and high-performance cockpit. True to the values of the Stay Strong brand, this model is made from premium 4130 Chromoly steel, heat-treated after welding to maximise structural strength without adding weight.

Its distinctive feature lies in its carefully crafted design with the iconic "Chevron" cut and its multi-butted structure (variable tube wall thicknesses). This design reinforces the handlebar where stresses are greatest (at the welds and stem clamp area) while thinning the tubes along the rest of the structure to save weight. The Straight geometry offers a natural wrist alignment for perfect control during gate starts and jumps.

What does heat treatment bring to a Chromoly handlebar? The heat treatment applied after welding allows the molecular structure of the steel to be realigned. This eliminates the stress points created by the heat of the weld, making the handlebar significantly more resistant to mechanical fatigue and the risk of twisting or cracking under heavy impacts.

How do I choose the right handlebar height for my BMX? Handlebar height depends on your size, your frame length and your riding style. A higher handlebar straightens your position and makes it easier to pull the front of the bike up (manuals, jumps), while a lower handlebar puts more weight on the front for maximum grip and aggressiveness in corners.
