STRIDSLAND ANCHOR BAR

Stridsland Anchor Bar - Classic MTBMX Handlebars

The Stridsland Anchor Bar is the perfect blend of style, comfort, and control for any bike. Ideal for pairing with a BMX stem, these handlebars are designed with a 50mm length that feels just right and a clamp size that’s a direct fit.

Product Overview:

If I could run just one bar for the rest of my life, this would be it. (I may be a little biased!) Whether you're rocking a retro MTB, a modern MTB, an ATB, a gravel bike, a hybrid, or a bikepacking rig, the Anchor Bar is your go-to for added stability and comfort. Just for the record, it’s not suited for downhill bikes, so let’s keep it to the fun stuff.

Gone are the days of slapping on a heavy motorcycle handlebar to your old-school ride. The Anchor Bar offers an expertly engineered 750g of comfort and control in a sleek, lightweight design. Often referred to as a moto bar, klunker bar, or MTBMX bar, it’s engineered to enhance the playfulness and control of any bike, whether you're cruising around town or hitting the trails.

Angle Breakdown:

Let’s talk geometry. The bar’s “roll” (the angle at which it sits when clamped to your stem) is optimized to match the headtube angle of many bikes in this category, around 70°. With 5° of upsweep and 20° of backsweep, it’s scientifically crafted to give you the most comfortable, ergonomic ride. It’s the perfect sweet spot for comfort, control, and performance.

Picture this: Instead of being cramped with your hands close to the stem, the 850mm width of the Anchor Bar allows you to extend your hands naturally, providing superior control and comfort. It’s got the right backsweep and upsweep to keep you in an ideal riding position for all-day fun.

These bars are designed to fit with a BMX stem, but for those using other stem types, handlebar shims are available:

• 31.8mm shim for oversized stems
• 25.4mm shim for older MTB and road stems

Important Notes:

• We recommend using at least two bolts on your stem faceplate, ideally four or even six for maximum security. (Single pinch bolt stems are not recommended!)

The Anchor Bar is the ultimate upgrade to your ride, offering unbeatable control and comfort in a high-quality, rugged design. Whether you're into bikepacking, gravel rides, or retro mountain biking, the Stridsland Anchor Bar is your new favorite accessory.
