Why Riders Use Eighties Starwood Handlebars
Handlebars are one of the primary contact points between you and your BMX bike. Their height, width, backsweep, and upsweep can significantly influence your riding position and how the front end feels.
Riders choose the Eighties Starwood Bars because they combine a traditional 2 piece BMX design with heat treated 4130 chromoly construction and multiple rise options.
The 9" rise can work well for riders who prefer a lower cockpit.
The 9.5" rise provides a middle ground option.
The 10" rise gives riders looking for a taller front end position another choice without having to move away from a traditional BMX handlebar.
With a 28.5" width, riders can also evaluate the stock width first and professionally shorten the grip area later if a narrower setup is preferred.
5 Problems You Can Run Into With Other BMX Handlebars
Incorrect Rise
Bars that are too low or too tall for your setup can create an uncomfortable riding position and change how the front end feels.
Poor Geometry for Your Riding Position
Backsweep and upsweep affect wrist position. Geometry that doesn't suit you may feel awkward during longer sessions.
Weak or Inappropriate Materials
BMX handlebars experience significant loads during riding, landings, and crashes. Bars not designed for freestyle BMX may not be appropriate for BMX use.
Excessive Width
Handlebars that are wider than a rider prefers can make the bike feel uncomfortable or harder to maneuver in certain situations.
Limited Size Choices
A handlebar available in only one rise forces riders to adapt their bike setup around the bar instead of selecting a height that better fits their preference.

Q: Should I choose 9", 9.5", or 10" BMX bars?
A: Handlebar rise is a personal setup choice. A 9" rise produces a lower cockpit than the 10", while 9.5" sits between them. Rider height, stem position, fork length, frame geometry, and personal preference can all affect which feels best.
Q: Will taller BMX handlebars make my bike easier to bunny hop?
A: Increasing bar rise changes your riding position and leverage, but it doesn't automatically make bunny hops easier. Technique, rider size, stem position, frame geometry, and overall bike setup also matter.
Q: Can I cut the Eighties Starwood Bars narrower?
A: Eighties' warranty information specifically recognizes cutting the handlebar grip area to size as an acceptable modification. Measure carefully and have an experienced bicycle mechanic perform the modification if you're unsure.
Q: Why choose 4130 chromoly BMX handlebars?
A: 4130 chromoly is widely used for freestyle BMX components because it provides a useful combination of strength and durability. The Starwood further uses heat treatment and straight gauge tubing for its intended BMX application.
