Ruff recently announced that a new Ruff bar shape is currently out in the wild being tested by the team! While still keeping a 4-piece design, they take bend inspiration from the 2012 FGFS classic Machete Slayer bars but stepping them up with modern rise. Here’s what Jacob had to say about the forthcoming bars:

“We’ve received samples of some new 4 piece bars that the team is testing. After toiling over dimensions, we settled on two shapes. The lower offering maintains the GC bar box section with a nod to the classic Machete Slayers and their mellow bends. For the taller size, we took the inspiration direct from the Bob bars and refined to our preferred back sweep, up sweep, and width.

We’ll have both sizes available in chrome finish and ED black once they get the stamp of approval from our quality assurance department.

Go catch a session with a Ruff Rider and make sure to check them out! They are rolling in LA, Salt Lake City, Seattle, Bordeaux, and Tucson.”

I’ll report that I’ve received mine and am extremely excited to put them on my bike. Pics of my setup to come!
