Thorn eXp bars for seriously heavy duty use. They are 680mm wide but have scales for cutting them down, in 10mm increments to 590mm. As the bars are not designed to be used shorter than 590mm, I’ve been able to keep the centre swell sufficiently long, to enable bar bags, lights, cycle computers etc. to be fitted to it. Unlike all other Thorn bars, the centre of the bars is 31.8mm therefore an oversize stem is required.
The eXp bars have been polished and then hard anodised, to give them the best possible protection against corrosion. Materials experts have told me that AL7050 is the best possible alloy, for making a bar with a long service life, that can survive big knocks.
At 330g, these bars are certainly not light weight but I’ve done everything that I can do, to make them the most bombproof Expedition Touring bars available. - Andy B. (Designer)
