The mission of the Design & Innovation Award is to shape the bicycle world in a positive way. It also serves as a forum for creativity, visionary ideas as well as the industry’s most innovative products. More than 40 experts from 10 countries joined this year’s event to test, analyze and judge the best and most innovative products of 2016 in Kronplatz/San Vigilio – Dolomites. The Award recognises either outstanding product design and function, or innovation that sets a new standard and inspires future product generations and forward-thinking approaches.
Nukeproof Warhead Carbon Handlebars
Statement: sometimes you want products to be as light as possible, but with bars strength is the most important property. The new Nukeproof Warhead Carbon bars are tested to 680 kg of force (many alloy bars fail at 350 kg), so you can be sure that they will go the distance. The sweep and rise are perfect, and Nukeproof are confident enough to offer a lifetime warranty. The bars are affordable, light enough to run on an XC bike, and strong enough for the toughest DH – in fact, they are everything a good bar should be!
