Spoon 800 SkyScraper Bar, 75R Gold

At the center of the bar, the bar geometry index and cockpit adjustment dial contain all the critical bar geometry specifications. This handy reference allows riders to easily find their ideal bar position.

All SPANK bars come with cut marks at the ends, simplifying the process of determining the minimum width the bar can be cut down to.

SPANK's proprietary Super-6 Aluminum alloy is a specially blended, highly magnesium-silicon enriched, work-hardened alloy that offers an optimal mix of hardness, yield, fatigue life, and superior ultimate tensile strength compared to standard 6 series alloys. This makes it ideal for creating thin-walled, super-stiff handlebars. The recent adoption of Super-6 materials and other enriched blends has resulted in SPANK's SPIKE and OOZY handlebars being stronger and more resistant to deformation than ever before.

To ensure better symmetry, consistency, and limit material structural damage during the bending process, SPANK invested in automated Three Dimensional CNC Bending machines for their handlebar production facility. This precision 3D CNC bending process allows SPANK to optimize their designs, eliminate the need for heavy grinding, and produce lighter, stronger, and safer bars.

SPANK's Dual XGT (Extreme Gradual Taper) technology tapers the bars from the thickest area at the bar clamping zone, gradually through the bend zones, to the thinnest areas at the control zones and back to the thicker reinforced bar-end zones, or "Impact Ends." This precision process eliminates stress zones where breaks can occur. SPANK has utilized FEA (Finite Element Analysis), laboratory, and rigorous real-world testing to optimize the spread of material to withstand the specific forces at work in each zone, providing better safeguards against crashes.

SPANK's state-of-the-art proprietary metal forming methods further improve grain size consistency and orientation, significantly reducing grain size beyond that of their competitors. This leads to greater ultimate strength, toughness, and ductility, translating to confidence, comfort, and safety for the rider.

SPANK's hangers are forged from top-quality, specifically forged aluminum MGRs, giving them a wider base and increased strength to support high weight loads. The Impact End caps the ends of the straight wall and reduces the risk of collapse in extreme impacts and when force is applied on the thinner section of the bars.

SPANK crafts their handlebars with the serious rider in mind, producing an affordable, high-quality product that can be depended on. The advanced, automated 3D CNC bending process ensures better consistency in size and shape, resulting in lighter weight and more powerful bikes that can withstand damage.
