Could this be a sign that the sub-6″ cruiser bar is finally on its way out?
I have harped on the topic of traditional cruiser bars before…that they are just too small/short…but if you visit just about any race track, they are still being used by many folks (albeit usually with a topload stem and a whack of spacers).
But maybe that’s changing.
S&M just announced their new Bruiser Bar: 6.5″ tall and 29″ wide. Available in black, white and chrome.
Granted, if you’re rolling on a new school freestyle 24, you wouldn’t consider this a big bar (higher BBs and taller bars are the standard M.O. there) but for the race community this is a big step up…a lot of race completes still come with 5″ bars.
Hopefully, this will start a bit of a movement in the race community toward bigger bars.
Nice work S&M.
cruiser revolution 
interesting…I have been running S&M’s 6.75″ Slam bar for a year now and I really like them. Since those are no longer on the S&M site I guess these replace them..5″ wider too
