The Vector 740mm Bar is available direct from Syntace or in the UK through Posh Bikes and has a UK retail of £135.įor more information on Syntace, their product line up and their testing methods as well as international distributors check out /. indicator lights which allow the operator to control all aspects of the boat’s propulsion system. The only negative point so far is that the surface finish picks up fine scratches very easily, although this isn’t noticeable unless you’re looking very closely. The added weight saving over my previous aluminium bar is also another clear benefit, improving the overall handling of the bike.

At first having my weight much lower and further over the front end was a bit odd, but after a few runs the benefit was clear. The low rise and wide stance of these bars inspires confidence and provides a much more comfortable controlled riding position.

The extra leverage made holding lines through rough and technical sections a breeze whilst the dampening ability of the carbon composite removed the small vibrations from the trail increasing the comfort of the ride. Steering became more precise and controlled and holding lines was less effort.
Once all the components are mounted and torqued up to the specified rating (being very careful not to exceed the clamping ratings) the bars are ready for a first ride.Īfter a period of getting used to the bars, the extra control over my previous 710mm wide by 20mm rise bars was very noticeable. For the purpose of a balanced review I will be running this bar with Syntace’s recommended set up of their own brand Superforce stem and grips as well as my own setup of a Thomson Elite X4 stem and Token lock on grips in combination with Syntace’s CRB bar plugs specifically designed for carbon bars.

Gaffer tape could securely mate (forever -) your Nitto horn and Syntace bar ends/brake levers. This enables the use of reduced torque to prevent damage or crushing of the bar and to maintain the same amount of grip on the bar from the stem, brake levers and shifters (a small sachet is provided with the bar). I did learn that 1-inch wide gaffer tape is very strong, is weather proof, and provides a great grip. Friction paste must be applied to the clamp areas of all components to be mounted to the bars.
