OSX

Description |

Chromag has a strong history of manufacturing handlebars. The OSX is one of their best selling products and put them on the map as a bike components company. The OSX has a reputation for its perfect combination of bend and upsweep. This geometry combined with an array of colour choices has made the OSX a popular choice for pretty much any discipline of mountain biking.

The OSX 2020 is the next step in the OSX progression. By refining the shape, and utilizing variable butting, high grade alloys and advanced heat treatment techniques, Chromag have increased the fatigue life by over 50%. So much so, that we’ve seen fatigue test results reach over 1 million cycles.

7050 Series Aluminum
Aerospace grade aluminum is utilized to meet the necessary criteria for strength and durability, with additional protection against stress and corrosion.

Advanced HTX Heat Treatment
Heat treatment gets thrown around a lot, but most of the time the word consistency doesn’t come along with it. Depending on the batch an individual bar might be subjected to vastly different temperatures during the process. HTX ditches the disparity and provides uniform, quality heat treatment on every single bar.

Refined Geometry
The OSX has been designed with increased tapered sections and a larger radius, resulting in a stronger overall shape. 

Variable Butting
Varying the wall thickness of the bar allows us to add strength where it’s needed, and keep the weight down in less strategic areas. The OSX has 7 different butting locations.
