Mike Taylor wanted an 8.5″ rise handlebar without the width and wide shape of the Highlander bar so the WZA bars were born.
The WZA bars come in at 28″ wide and are a little thicker on the grip bends to handle harsh street landings. Constructed from heat-treated multiple butted 4130 chromoly these bars are strong while remaining light.Width: 28″Height: 8.5″Backsweep: 11°Upsweep: 2°Weight: 1.65 lbs
The Federal Stance XL rim has a wider (40mm) cross section which is designed to be in keeping with modern tyre sizes which helps the tyre maintain its correct profile. The triple box section combined with the wider profile makes the rim both stronger and stiffer than conventional rims and also helps to reduce the possibility of pinch flats. The wall thickness where the spokes are located has been increased by 22% to reduce the possibility of spokes pulling through the rim.
We have also changed the material from Aluminium 6061 to 6066 which increases the strength by approximately 30%. The rims have a lower sidewall height (15mm compared to 20mm on most other rims) to give the rim a lower/wider appearance.The internal sidewall height is also reduced to keep the tyre firmly in place when inflated and the base of the rim is sunken to ease the installation and removal of tyres.
