Spotlight: Super Big Honkin Cruiser Bar
The star of our SE Racing Handlebars lineup is the Super Big Honkin Cruiser Bar, a beast engineered for maximum presence. With its massive 10-inch rise and 30-inch width, it transforms any cruiser into a head-turner, offering upright ergonomics that reduce back strain on long rides. Crafted from thick-walled chromoly tubing, it's built to handle jumps, potholes, and everything in between without flexing. Riders love its swept-back design for natural wrist positioning and the signature oversized proportions that scream SE style.
Compared to slimmer profiles in other brands like Pro Taper handlebars, the Super Big Honkin prioritizes cruiser swagger over motocross agility, making it the go-to for laid-back adventures.
