Old inward vs new inward

[Rex728]

I was looking at my new inward bars, and they are a hell of a lot different then the old ones. Has anyone realized a difference in preformance?

O wow really, can some body post pics comparing the old one Vs. the new ones

 

[Rex728]

I dont have a pic of the old ones but zoom in on the ones on inward-scooters.com and u can see its jsut like they set the crossbar on top of the steering tube and welded it, i can remember riding the old ones and they looks like the skyhigh bars

Old Inwards: They sanded the welds on the bars. Thinner inner tube. Heavy,Not chromoly.
New Inwards: They has welds showing, Thicker inner tube, Chromoly 4130, and Light.
Id show you pics but I sold my inward =[

 

[danielaurelio]

nooo not really

the old ones were made out of mild steel and were just as light as the new ones, actually, a tad lighter

no the old inwards had caps on the top of them i have a peir
you used to be able to buy the off ebay they were the origionals

 

[Rex728]

So the new ones are better?

 

[chuckscoots11]

the only difference is the new ones are made of whatever kind of chromoly. the old ones are made of steel

 

[scooterkillkidphil]

yeah the old ones were heavier and the new ones are lighter. The old ones i think were made of steel (correct me if im wrong) and the new ones are now made of 4130 chromoly. The old onese were welding a bit differently too.

Inward bars...

yes there are differences between
the first gen, second gen and third gen inward bars

to get this all straight

First gens were originally sold on eBay only, they look like SZ nipple bars, they were constructed of mild steel and MIG welded by (JP himself i believe) they are good but heavy.
SZ basically told him not to copy them so he stopped production

Second gens, were the first bars to use an internal reinforcement but they were still mild steel and MIG welded, a few were TIG welded. so they are heavier but very strong unless you got beyond 20 high the slit eventually cracks to the side and they break off, but it takes a while.

Third gens, are the newest still carrying over the internal reinforcement and the clean one piece look, but all of them are TIG welded and use 4130 chromoly tubing. so they are lighter by a bit and are stronger than the previous mild steel ones

also note a few aluminum bars have been tested but none have been successful so far
