If I get expensive bars will they not bend like this or are they all the same? These are cult control 2022 and were supposed to be chomoly.

Do yourself a favor and stay away from Cult and Fiend parts. If something says “chromoly bars” could be misleading as maybe just the crossbar is chromoly but not the bends and everything else. Real strong bars will say “FULL CHROMOLY” or “100% Chromoly”. I’d recommend Sunday , Odyssey , We The People , Eclat , Shadow. All those will be solid choices and can’t go wrong!!!
S&M bars are a little expensive but they’re sturdy as hell, I can’t imagine mine bending unless they got ran over by a car or something lol
Anything that is post weld heat treated or thick walled straight gauge tubing or both will hold up well. If odyssey/sunday has something 41thermal processed that you like go with that, as not only will it be strong but also pretty much the only true lifetime warranty offered by anyone(most companies “lifetime warranty” is only against manufacturer defects and therefore mostly meaningless)
Give or take all bars made of chromoly can bend, none are indestructible, whether it’s a crash, or a heavy landing they can be prone to bending, and tbh they’d be insanely heavy if they were a thick enough tubing to prevent bending anyway!
Some offer a warranty of some sort, odyssey notably on their 41thermal tubed items offer a warranty against bending and breakage.
S&M makes some really tough ones. I have had them on my bikes for years now
Have never bent a set of Odyssey bars in my life. Tough as F@ck
Ugh I want one of those odyssey fork bolts
So you like to run your bars crooked huh
You want to find bars that are full chromoly 4130 the best material are usually put together with the best welds it pays off in the long run to get the more expensive materials heavy duty or keep buying the crapper bars every 2 weeks lol
Are you a 2pc bars only rider? If you want some serious bars, check out Nowear Bmx. I ride the 4pc Tuku bars. They also make a 2pc. Just an idea. 🤘
Have snapped wtp and demolition bars, and I don’t even ride very hard. It just happens sometimes.
I’ve been running the Animal Foursome bars for quite sometime now.
Get aftermarket crmo bars. Most likely the complete bike cult bars are not of the same quality as aftermarket ones.
