CNC Precision Bending – SPANK went the extra mile in their handlebar production facility by investing in automated three dimensional CNC bending machines, which offer better symmetry and consistency, and more importantly, limit material structural damage during the bending process. The precision of 3D CNC bending in a single fixture allows SPANK to optimize their designs. The process eliminates the need for heavy grinding processes, making their bars lighter, stronger and safer.

MGR (Micro Grain Refinement) Processed Alloys – Processes such as extrusion and tube drawing increase the strength of alloy materials by reducing the grain size. No other bars or rims are subjected to the number of drawing steps or level of refinement as those offered by SPANK.

Super-6 Alloy – SPANK's proprietary blended, enriched alloy. Super-6 aluminum is a specially blended, highly magnesium-silicon enriched, work hardened alloy that offers the perfect mix of hardness, yield, fatigue life and a superior ultimate tensile strength to standard 6 series alloys. It is ideal for the creation of thin walled, super stiff handlebars. Through recent adoption of Super-6 materials and other enriched blends, Spank's SPIKE and OOZY handlebars are now stronger, and show greater resistance to deformation than ever before.

Dual XGT (Extreme Gradual Taper) – Dual XGT technology tapers SPANK's bars from the thickest area at the bar clamping zone, slowly and gradually through the bend zones, to the thinnest areas at the control zones and back to the thicker reinforced barend zones, or "impact ends". This precision process eliminates stress zones where breaks can occur. SPANK has utilized FEA (Finite Element Analysis), laboratory, and rigorous real world testing to optimize the spread of material to where it is needed to withstand the specific forces at work in each zone, while offering better protection against crashes than ever before.

Vibrocore (Impulse & Fatigue Dampening Core) – Vibrocore reduces negative vibration and increases lateral stiffness & torsional strength. Vibrocore is a pressurized foam core that reduces the transmission of negative vibration and helps to balance radial compliance and torsional strength, delivering rigid, strong wheels with enhanced comfort and traction.
