Spank Industries kills vibration, adds Vibrocore technology to gravel bars and rims

Spank Industries is adding options to the gravel game with their newest lineup of Wing and Flare products. The Wing 12 and Flare 25 bars use their vibration-reducing Vibrocore technology to smooth out the trails while adding stiffness. On the rim side of things, the Flare 24 uses Vibrocore as the top-end offering, while the Wing 22 is a more traditional and price-friendly rim.

Spank Industries Vibrocore Wing and Flare gravel line

While Vibrocore technology from Spank Industries isn’t new, offering it in a gravel product is. In short, the technology uses a foam injection to reduce vibration, increase comfort, and even increase torsional stiffness. This YouTube video provides a quick overview of how it works:

While Vibrocore has been popular for mountain bikes, Spank thought it was time to expand the offerings into gravel, which can often include rough terrain, washboard pavement, and other vibration-inducing features.

The Wing 12 drop bar has a 12 degree flare, with a short 110mm drop and 70mm reach. It’s offered in 42, 44, and 46cm widths (center-to-center), and weighs 355 – 365 grams. Stem clamp comes in 31.8mm only. MSRP $110.

The Flare 25 drop bar has an aggressive 25 degree flare, along with a short 110mm drop and 65mm reach. Widths at the hood are 42, 44, and 46cm, with weights coming in at 345 – 355 grams. Similar to the Wing 12, it is only available in 31.8mm clamp diameter. MSRP $110.

The Flare 24 Vibrocore rim is a disc-specific, tubeless-ready rim with symmetrical and asymmetric spoke hole options. MSRP comes in at $149.

The Wing 22 rim does not have Vibrocore technology, but comes in at a reasonable $99 per rim. It’s tubeless-ready and disc-specific, with a moderate 22mm inner width. All new Wing and Flare gravel bars and rims are available immediately.
