FlatSociety Arctic Bars

While these are specifically engineered for the geometry and control required for flatland BMX, their solid construction makes them durable enough for light street use. However, if you primarily ride street or park, you might prefer a bar with a different rise or geometry suited to those disciplines.

The 8-inch rise is a classic height for flatland, offering a balance between stability and responsiveness. It keeps your center of gravity lower, which is essential for intricate balance tricks, whereas taller bars can sometimes feel twitchy or unstable during specific flatland maneuvers.

This specific sweep combination is designed to put your wrists in a more natural, ergonomic position while performing tricks. It helps reduce fatigue during long sessions and provides a comfortable, locked-in feel when you are maneuvering the bike around your body.

Yes, 27.5 inches is a very common width for flatland riders. It provides enough leverage for control without being so wide that it interferes with your legs or arms during complex crossovers and spinning tricks.

These bars weigh 27.7 ounces, or approximately 700 grams. This weight is optimized to provide the necessary stiffness and durability for flatland tricks without adding unnecessary bulk to your front end.
