Hoder’s signature handlebar ushered in the “bigger bar” trend and in hindsight, was really the original XL bar BMX offered. Mike wanted his bars taller, so he didn’t have to hunch over, and wider for stability and comfort. The geometry is similar to our ever-popular Slam Bar, so it automatically feels familiar. The Hoder Bar is made in the USA from post-weld heat-treated and butted 4130.

Rise: 8.625′
Width: 30′
Upsweep: 1.5°
Back Sweep: 11°
Cross Bar: .75′
Weight: 2.13 Lb (.97 Kg)
Material: 4130 Crmo

Hoder Bars Come Out

 

Chad Johnston has been a player in the flatland game since day one, but he didn’t find a super stable home sponsorship wise until landing on S&M at age 40. His ability to revolutionize flatland riding (plus the fact that he’s a cool dude!) made marrying Chad’s Intrikat steeze with the shield in 2011 a no-brainer. Having Chad’s name and input on all of S&M’s new flatland offerings is something we’re pretty darn proud of.

Hoder did a stint on Sunday before he found his home on S&M bikes. We like him. We like him a lot.
