Product Description

RATED NO.1 BY PINKBIKE & DOWNHILL CERTIFIED BY EFBE TRI-TEST   Now available in a unique vapour blast finish, the new DMR Odub bars are the best MTB bars available. Don't just take our word for it. Pinkbike recently tested 31 different handlebars and here's their conclusion: "If you subscribe to the widely accepted theory that compliance buys you comfort, then you should buy the most compliant handlebar that fits the intended purpose. To that end, of the 31 handlebars we have measured so far, the 31.8 mm DMR O'Dub bar with a 50mm rise should be the most comfortable bar of the lot." DMR Odub VB Handlebars are not just rider tested, but also lab tested to the highest possible standards – 65s, 50s, and 35mm rise Odub VB bars all passed the highest-level GR-Gravity and DH Bike Tests with flying colours. So how does that work? The EFBE Lab has developed a series of strength and fatigue tests based on real-world data collection from hours of hard bike riding. The EFBE equipment then runs a series of tests on the same part, including overload tests. These lab-tests are designed to be a better, more relevant test for the part’s intended use, which is over and above the standard EN bicycle safety tests. Odub VB Bars: ridden, tested and certified for DH and Gravity by The EFBE Test Lab.   Designed by Olly Wilkins "I’ve been behind DMR bars for over 20 years and couldn’t be more stoked to have the chance to design and create my own signature handlebars. "The Odub bar is the result of 20 years of development and feedback with DMR, as well as product design over the last decade, which is a pretty crazy thought! "I like riding everything, from dirt jumps to XC, and I wanted a bar shape which would feel familiar across all my bikes – the 5º upsweep / 8º back bend is what I found to be perfect after trying all kinds of different shapes." – Olly Wilkins, DMR Pro Rider   Aluminium wins. Every time. "The choice to go 7050 over carbon-fibre was easy for me. Carbon seems a dangerous option when you’re clamping brakes, dropper levers and gear shifters onto it… not to mention throwing your bike in the back of a van. Handlebars are not a product I want to worry about failing and the Odub Bar fits that. "We used spiral butting on the bar to increase strength and durability without adding weight. This means the bars are stronger and lighter than anything we’ve previously produced. After all this time I didn’t wanna put my name to anything that I didn’t think was perfect. These bars are the S**T!" – Olly Wilkins   Features 7050 Aluminium: Light, durable, tough construction. Spiral Butted Tube: For strength, comfort, and endurance.
