If you’ve ever seen Dan Coller ride, you know the guy goes through parts like there’s no tomorrow. Kink knew exactly what they were doing when they designed the Contender series—they wanted a handlebar that Dan couldn’t destroy after two slams. And this isn’t just marketing talk—it’s backed by serious engineering.
The Contender bar is made from tried-and-true 4130 heat-treated chromoly steel, which isn’t just incredibly strong but also has the right amount of flex to resist fatigue, even under constant abuse. The welds are post-weld heat-treated for extra durability, so they can take a beating without cracking. The 9.75” rise version is perfect if you’ve got longer arms or just prefer a taller front end that won’t feel sketchy after a fakie 180.
The Contender doesn’t play around—it’s a no-nonsense, heavy-duty bar with dialed geometry, built to handle serious riding without flinching. If you ride like Dan Coller, or aspire to, this bar’s got your back.
