Kink Rex Bars

Butting refers to varying the thickness of the steel tubing, making it thicker at high-stress areas like the bends and thinner in lower-stress areas to save weight. The 13-butted design on the Rex bars optimizes this ratio, providing a high strength-to-weight profile that handles heavy impacts without unnecessary bulk.

Yes, the Rex bars are designed as an all-around BMX handlebar. Their geometry and heat-treated chromoly construction provide the durability needed for street riding while maintaining the responsive, stable feel required for park riding.

A 9.5-inch rise is considered a modern standard that offers a comfortable, upright riding position. It provides enough leverage for bunny hops and manuals without making the front end feel too twitchy or unstable.

The 12-degree backsweep is designed to align more naturally with your wrists, reducing strain during long sessions. It offers a slightly more relaxed feel compared to bars with less sweep, which can help with comfort during high-impact landings.

At 29.5 inches wide, these bars are standard for modern setups. Whether you need to cut them depends on your personal preference and shoulder width; many riders find this width comfortable, but you can easily trim them down if you prefer a narrower feel for tighter maneuvers.
