BSD Safari Bar
BSD Safari Bar
-
Reed Clark's signature Safari bars modify a long standing BSD style into his signature style.
Essentially a modified and updated version of the Giraffic bar that's been in production for over six years, Reed decided that he wanted to make a few changes to it, a little more upsweep for more comfort and a little taller on both sizes.
The new Safari bar is constructed from heat-treated multiple butted 4130 chromoly and is available in regular 7/8" and oversize 1" Gorilla Grip versions.
Rise height: All colourways of the Safai Bar come in either a 9.1" or a 9.6" rise height.

CONSTRUCTION
BMX Handlebars come in either a 2 piece construction or a 4-piece construction. What one you choose is down to personal preference. 4-piece bars offer additional strength (and weight) and are popular mostly with Street riders. 2-piece bars offer a more classic look and are typically lighter.
Handlebar Geometry
The rise refers to how tall the bars are, and is the biggest influence on how your handlebars will feel. The rise of the bars is completely down to personal preference. If you are starting from scratch and need a reference point, then handlebars with a rise of 8"-8.75" are considered average.
This angle measures how much the bars angle upwards at the grip area. A 0˚ up sweep would mean that the grip area is perfectly flat and parallel to the ground. The up sweep angle choice is completely down to rider preference with the average being between 2˚ - 3˚.
The width of handlebars simply refers to how wide the handlebars are - they typically range from around 27" to 30" in iwdth. Again this is completely down to personal preference and many riders cut the bars down to a required width if needed with a hacksaw.
Back sweep refers to the amount the grip area of the bars angles back towards the rider. This angle plays a pivotal part in how the handlebars feel. A 0˚ back sweep would mean the bars are completely flat, the larger the angle the more the bars angle back. An average back sweep would be between 2˚ - 3˚.
