No these are the Vultures. Hellhammers are going to be more of an all around bar but still be available in 16-24" wide.

Stans bars (Vultures) are legit for tuck no handers though :) snd they are his sig bar haha.

And yes, of course everything is 4130.
No the crossbar is not crooked, look closer, the whole thing is leaning to the left slightly.
Prices aren't set yet. But these should be out in March. Along with the Hellhammers hopefully...

I've broke bars like that before too. But they were Mike Days which were sort of a shitty material. And the mcniel ones in the pick are butted up the ass I'm sure. Even though everyone advertises butted tubing as the best thing ever, it still isn't perfect. Things are more likely to crack instead of bend because there are more stress points than if the wall thickness was just the same throughout.

Ive seen an aluminum MTB frame snapp in half but the downtube snapped right up from the middle. NOT on a weld. Thats cause is was a butted tube and it cracked right as the end of the butt where the wall thickness first reached its thinnest point. If that makes sence at all...

Lol, not my photo. Just saw it on a blog recently and thought it would contribute to this thread.

Still, it would take one hell of a ride to get BMX bars to snap clean off.

Pretty sure the Hell Hammers are the ones with the Slayer like gussets.

No. These are Vultures. No the ones Stan had in that vid aren't Hellhammers. I just made that one pair so Stan would have some wide bars that would't bend. The ones your talking about wont even go into production.
Were sticking to only three different designs for now (OGs,Vultures,Hellhammers) and nobody has even seen the hellhammers yet.

Its out... You can buy it off the site. But the thing is that noone will be able to use it yet/know how it all works.

I might as well show it... Ill go take some pics and post them up right now.

Edit: Go check out the RAD thread in the websites/ teams section to see compression stuff.
