Description
The titanium bars from Youth Gone Wild offer a stiffness-to-weight ratio that closely resembles steel bars, yet they possess half the molecular density. Consequently, these titanium bars weigh nearly as little as aluminium while maintaining the strength of steel. Titanium’s most significant advantage lies in its elongation and tensile strength properties. This enables the bars to have a much more flexible feel compared to steel or aluminium. Additionally, it enhances the longevity of the bars, allowing titanium to return to its initial position instead of bending.
When evaluating the cost and mechanical attributes of the titanium bars, we suggest these primarily for riders at a particular level of expertise, at least from intermediate to professional. This is essential because when not utilised appropriately, they can break much like bars made from other materials.
The Digger bar features a BMX-style construction, adding resistance to hard impacts and rendering it more durable than other bar styles. It boasts an oversized design with an outer diameter of 35mm, and weighs only 777 grams. It is an excellent option for those seeking park-like weight in street configurations.
