Whooopy, the FU and FU2 get some right proper support.
Goto:
FU and FU2 Bar Review ALSO VOTED THE WORLD'S GREATEST HANDLEBAR FOR 2006, 2007 and probably 2008.
Your results may vary, voting was limited to the surviving nuns from
The Sound of Music.
These nuns were paid to select the FUbar over other bars and if you
happen to be a nun we reserve the right to not pay you to like the bar.
The skinny:
Better hand position for climbs. More natural postition allows for greater leverage and improved comfort.
Narrower width (then straight) climbing bars, normally found on SS's.
Ample 635mm (FU) or 600mm (FU2) offer the same climbing power as much
wider straight bars.
Big sweep means all that with no bar-ended tree catchers.
Reversible, for use as riser -or- unriser (say on a 29er).
The Digits:
6061 Aluminum
25.4mm Clamp Diameter.
Huge 3.2mm Wall Thickness.
635mm End-to-End Width.
202mm Grip/Lever Clamp area.
Back Sweep 33Deg.
20mm Forward Sweep
prior to Back Sweep
26mm Rise (Reversible to -26mm).
Annodized Black w/lazer beam etched Logo...SKULL IN THE CLAMP AREA...ooohhh aahhhh.
