Description
Youth Gone Wild's titanium bar series feature a stiffness-to-weight ratio akin to steel bars, yet with only half the molecular density. This results in titanium bars being almost as light as aluminium while maintaining the strength of steel. The primary advantage of titanium lies in its elongation and tensile strength capabilities, rendering titanium bars far more flexible than steel or aluminium ones. This property also enhances the durability of the bars, as titanium can return to its original form rather than bending.
When considering the cost and the mechanical attributes of titanium bars, we mainly recommend them for riders possessing a certain level of skill – a minimum of intermediate to professional. This is because, if not used correctly, they can break just like bars made from other materials.
The Digger bar is crafted with a BMX-inspired design, which augments resistance against hard impacts, thereby making it more durable compared to other bar designs. It is oversized with an outer diameter of 35mm and weighs just 777 grammes. An excellent choice for riders seeking a park-like weight for street setups.
