Pride Racing 373 Blanc Replica V2 BMX Race Handlebars - 31.8mm - Black

Developed to the exacting standards of World Cup rider Renaud Blanc, the Pride Racing #373 Blanc Replica V2 is engineered for racers who prioritize an aggressive, forward-leaning stance. The defining characteristic of this handlebar is its unique 3° backsweep—a design choice specifically requested by top pros to optimize the starting position and increase front-end engagement.

By utilizing a straighter profile, the #373 V2 naturally pushes the rider's shoulders further forward over the stem. This enhances balance, improves leverage during the gate snap, and provides a level of control during high-speed, aggressive maneuvers that traditional bars simply can't match. As elite riders J. Rencurel and R. Blanc put it: “Once you try it, you’ll never go back!”

Oversized Engineering & Elite Durability

• 31.8mm MTB-Inspired Clamp: Borrowed from the world of mountain biking, the oversized diameter provides a significantly larger contact area. This results in incredible stiffness, better stem grip, and zero bar-slip during high-torque sprints.
• 13-Butted Internal Structure: Crafted from 4130 Chromoly steel with 13 variable thickness points, ensuring the bar is reinforced at stress points while remaining exceptionally light.
• 20/20 Heat Treatment: Post-weld heat treatment ensures maximum toughness, longevity, and structural rigidity for the most demanding Pro-level tracks.
• Refined Up-Sweep: Retains a low 1.5° upsweep, providing a balanced and comfortable ergonomic feel that complements the aggressive 3° backsweep.

Technical Specifications

The Performance Edge: The #373 V2 is more than just a handlebar—it's a geometry adjustment for your entire bike. If you find yourself struggling to stay over the front end during the first straight, the straighter 3° sweep will keep your body in the ideal "attack" position.
