Chances are, you’ve clicked on this review article exclaiming “Bendy bars! You couldn’t pay me to ride those!”. OK, I get it. My initial reaction to the Fasst Flexx Enduro Bar was mild horror, too. The thought of your handlebar being anything but completely stiff will be massively off-putting for a lot of riders. Especially those who think they might be a bit on the heavy side, or ride very aggressively.

I’ve put this bar through the most rigorous testing I know how to. Fasst Company are based in Utah where trails are dry and dusty for the vast majority of the season. I’ve been riding through a Scottish winter, and a (so far) wet summer. Rain, mud and general filth is the norm. I’m stoked to share my experience with you guys.
Review: Fasst Flexx Enduro Bar
I’ll dive in first with a quick overview of the Fasst Flexx Enduro Bar to give you an idea of what it’s all about, and why anyone would flirt with the idea of a “bendy bar”.

First up, the bar doesn’t actually bend. Each arm of the bar pivots on a bushing, compressing and rebounding between two elastomers. With the Flexx bar, Fasst Co are out to damp vibrations, smooth impacts and reduce hand and arm fatigue.
If you’re someone who suffers with really bad arm pump, or you’ve arthritis in your hand/wrist/elbow/shoulders that gets in the way of your big riding plans, you may be super intrigued around about now. And you’re right to be. My overall experience of the Fasst Flexx Bar has been a good one, but it hasn’t been without its complications… more on that later.
