Steve Peat puts name on X-lite kit

"Historically there hasn’t been many signature MTB products, whereas the skateboard and BMX markets have thrived on them," said X-lite’s Alex Trimnell.

Here’s the tech spec:

Fatboy 31.8 O/D DH/Freeride bar

* 31.8 O/D clamp for max bar grip

*6061 aerospace grade alloy

* Stress relieved shot peened finish

*680mm width/ 8 degree sweep/ 50mm rise

"By increasing the bars O/D to 31.8mm (from 25.4mm) we have been able to create a very light but very strong handlebar," said trimnell.

"Steve has had the same bar on all season which has included some huge crashes but still it remains intact!"
