Chromag OSX LTD 31.8 Alloy MTB Handlebars

Chromag has a legendary history of manufacturing handlebars. The OSX is one of our best selling products and put us on the map as a bike components company, and is now available in a limited edition, high-polish finish. The OSX has a reputation for its perfect combination of bend and upsweep. This geometry combined with an array of colour choices has made the OSX a popular choice for pretty much any discipline of mountain biking. The OSX 2020 is the next step in our progression. By refining the shape, and utilizing variable butting, high grade alloys and advanced heat treatment techniques, we have increased the fatigue life by over 50%. So much so, that we’ve seen fatigue test results reach over 1 million cycles. 7050 Series Aluminum We use aerospace grade aluminum to achieve our required properties of strength and toughness, with added resistance to stress and corrosion. Advanced Heat Treatment Heat treatment gets thrown around a lot, but most of the time the word consistency doesn’t come along with it. Depending on the batch an individual bar might be subjected to vastly different temperatures during the process. HTX ditches the disparity and provides uniform, quality heat treatment on every single bar. Variable Butting Varying the wall thickness of the bar allows us to add strength where it’s needed, and keep the weight down in less strategic areas. The OSX has 7 different butting locations.
