Give me one good reason why aluminium BMX bars aren't made if they are half the weight.
We are talking about scooter bars not BMX but if you want reasons.
1) BMX bars are way wider.
2) BMX bars have to be bent and T6 aluminum cracks if it is not annealed before it is bent and welded then heat treated so it would be way more lengthy a process.
3) BMX bars have huge amounts of rise compared to a scooter with NONE which means there is probably 10 times more force being exerted on them.
4) BMX bikes are like 20lbs. heavier than a scooter so when you fall the impact is a lot more on the bars than a scooter falling.
5) BMX bikes are not scooters.
Look at how many kids are still riding STOCK aluminum Razor bars and doing fine. So why wouldn't a high grade after market aluminum bar not work better??? Even though I already know it does because I have had people testing them for months now.
