Countless prototypes and months of research, development, and testing have led to a handlebar line that is not only the best work deity has ever done, but elevates the handlebar game tremendously. By utilizing deity's new Gradient Butting Technology, deity went to the drawing board on the concept of handlebar butting and how it relates to wide handlebars. By reviewing the impact even slight butting dimensions can make on a handlebars overall strength and fatigue resistance, deity was able to see where some handlebars fall short and where unnecessary weight can and should be lost.

"These handlebars have been a labor of love over the past year. Not only is our two tone ano finish process laborious and complicated, but re-envisioning the butting system allowed us to really see what all of our options could be. We made many prototypes, machine stress tested each of them, and we kept pushing the envelope until we were able to create a handlebar that far exceeded our past handlebar strength by 20%. We started to realize that our take on the butting process was quite different and the end results are a line of handlebars that are strong, stiff, and some of the very lightest on the market to date."

By redesigning every handlebar in the line up, deity has been able to vastly improve handlebars that have become the staple choice for downhillers to dirt jumpers. The end product speaks for itself and when you get to hold one in your hands, the detail, finish, quality, and weight will be undeniable. From the impressive two tone mirror polished and bead blast anodized finish that drapes the deity Blacklabel, Dirty30, and Topsoil handlebars to the subtle aesthetic of the Villain series, the new deity handlebar line are head turners, unique in a flooded marketplace, and bring deity to the forefront of the high end DH market."We are coming at the DH scene hard and the handlebars are guaranteed to make a statement of our intentions. We are not a mega million dollar corporate brand, but they have all been paying attention to what we are doing for a reason. The new line is that good and I have personally never been so proud of a product we put out." Eric Davies, Owner
