ODI IS PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE RELEASE OF THE CFT HANDLEBAR
Riverside, CA – After more than twelve months of testing and
development, ODI is proud to announce the launch of the Controlled Flex
Technology (CFT) Handlebars. CFT
handlebars feature a lightweight, 6061 aluminum, designed to provide extra flex
and comfort. Building off a stable
platform we integrated our patent pending cross bar to provide extra strength
without compromising the feel of the bar.
“Utilizing a rubber elastomeric shock, we’ve been able to
control the flex that occurs in the six thousand series aluminum,” brand
manager Kevin Stevens explains. “We’ve limited it to 3mm to ensure that in
extreme situations like over jumping or crashing, the cross bar actually
engages and provides the extra strength needed.”
The design came about after months of testing and working
with riders and teams such as L and MC Racing.
Team Co-Owner and King of Supercross Jeremy McGrath has given his stamp
of approval and team rider Andrew Short will line up to Anaheim 1 using the new
CFT bars.
“It’s been a great year working with Larry, Jeremy and
Andrew and I’m really excited to get these in the hands of the public,”
continued Stevens. “We set out to create something unique and innovative as
there are a lot of quality handlebars out there. I think we’ve definitely provided a product
that will help improve comfort without compromising things like weight, looks
and cost.”
