Bontrager makes some of the strongest off-road bars on the market. Carbon is beginning to find its way onto the trail more and more, with the Bontrager XXX Lite Riser tipping the scales at just 180gms. Alloy still rules for extreme riding, with the Bontrager King Earl Riser built from extra-tough 7050 T-6 custom butted aircraft quality aluminum. The Bontrager King Earl stem is the perfect mate for the Bontrager King Earl bars. The Bontrager Bontrager Race X Lite stem is a nicely sculpted 2041 alloy product that delivers when it comes to low weight, stiffness, and strength. The Bontrager Race XXX Lite carbon stem is so strong that Trek uses it on its top XC bikes. Comfortable AND light? Yep. Bontrager engineers its Race series saddles to relieve pressure points and provide firm support where you need it, with little or no weight penalty. Women should check out the FIT versions of the Bontrager Race XXX Lite and the Bontrager Race Lite (pictured, $95). And for a saddle that's just plain comfortable for only $35, the Bontrager Earl K is our most popular saddle, period. We have roadies, cross country riders, and casual riders on this seat, and all of them love it, even though it was originally designed for extreme riding. Bontrager Race series seatposts are easier to adjust than any other carbon posts on the market. The secret is a saddle clamp that tightens and loosens from the side, not from the top or the bottom. Fore-aft adjustment and leveling are snap. Alloy is still the way to go for extreme riding, with the King Earl leading the way for strength, adjustability, and, at just $70, price. |
