ODI Podium CFT MX Handlebars-Ricky Carmichael Edition RC4 Bend
The Good

The black and bronze look amazing. For medium to short riders, this bend is really nice. Vibration and sharp hit reduction.

The Bad

Taller riders might not like the bend. Crossbar (even the CFT) isn’t for everybody.

Overall Review

Sadly, this often means I'm changing grips at a rapid rate, and even the smallest tip over can ruin a set. ODI's lock-on grips are quite popular amongst the mountain bike community, but have only recently caught on with the moto...

ODI CFT Handlebar
Vital Review
Overall Review
Motocross is all about comfort. How can I say this when any time I come back from the track I feel like I was dropped from the top of three-story building? Because if a rider isn’t comfortable, they are not going to ride to the best of their ability. Physical comfort is a pure luxury on the track; mental comfort is an absolute necessity. One of the parts on a bike where the two ideas converge is the handlebar. No other part is as crucial in helping a rider achieve ergonomic desires and physical requirements. While the basic concepts remain the same, today’s handlebar designs are superior in...
