Japan: S x S Bars
« on: November 01, 2012, 08:55:13 PM »
G&B Blog introduced some new bars called S x S. We're not quite sure which company makes them but maybe one of you can help us out? However, they are pretty light (1.5lbs / 700g) but supposed to be very strong. The rise is 8.5"; they are 730mm / 28.7" wide and will come in matt black and chrome.

From what I can gather, "SxS bar" is actually the brand, probably rider owned (?)

doesn't seem anything special, just another 2-piece bar..

MX underlined the brand
Based on the 85 S bar for flat land bar is modified to

be light and fine features of the crossbar


but it seems it's made by MX (MOTOCROSS INTERNATIONAL LTD) based on the MX-85S bar

It's special if the sweep is mellow like a flatland bar...but it's this WIDE!  I would love to have a 2 piece bar with minimal sweep, but still be wide.  I think Quamen makes a pretty wide two piece bar with minimal sweep...but there needs to be more bars on the market like it!
