Thomson Elite Downhill 31.8mm Handlebars 20 x 800mm
History
Loronzo H. “Ronnie” Thomson founded L.H. Thomson Company, Inc. in 1981 with a mission to manufacture precision machined parts using CNC equipment. In the mid-‘90s, Ronnie used his aerospace engineering expertise to create a bicycle seatpost for his daughter, a team cyclist at Carnegie Mellon University. Rather than making a post similar to other posts on the market, Ronnie created something entirely new: a one-piece seatpost light enough for an unmatched ride, but strong enough to withstand the pressures of biking. Ronnie patented his creation and Thomson bike components were born.
Thomson Elite Downhill 31.8mm Handlebars 20 x 800mm
Our Downhill bar is 800mm wide with 20mm of rise, 9° of backsweep, and 5° of upsweep.
It’s built using 7050 Aluminium alloy for strength and long life. 65mm wide clamping area fits our Direct Mount stem, giving you the most torsional stiffness of any bar/stem combination.
31.8 centre section is absolutely straight over a width of 90mm.
The long straight section in the middle reduces stress concentrations, especially when using wide Direct Mount stems.
Key Features
• Width: Trail - DH - 800mm.
• Material: 7050 Aluminium alloy.
• Very durable and extremely strong.
• Thickened ends from 1.4 to 1.6mm.
• Developed by Hydraulic Press Forming.
• Perfect addition to Thomsons Elite X4 stem or Direct Mount stem.
Bars are butted and tapered in many steps for optimal fatigue life. Ends of the bar are thickened from 1.4 to 1.6mm to resist damage from impacts and contact with the ground.
Bars are produced by advanced Hydraulic Press Forming to avoid the need for hand grinding. Almost all other bars are manually bent, and bends are ground to appear smooth. Hydraulic Press Forming ensures very consistent wall thickness and close tolerances, especially in tapered sections. This keeps weight low and fatigue life high.
Together with a Thomson stem, this is the best Aluminium cockpit you can get. It’s the perfect addition to your Elite X4 Stem or Direct Mount Stem.
