ODI - CFT Podium MX 1-1/8" Handlebars

ODI - CFT Podium Handlebars

When ODI set out to build their strongest and most comfortable handlebar ever, they didn’t just add more metal — they added Controlled Flex Technology (CFT). The ODI CFT Podium Handlebars use a patented flexing crossbar system with a built-in elastomer that absorbs vibration and chatter before it reaches your hands and arms. The result? You can ride longer, stay fresher, and hang on harder when the track gets rough.

Made from seamless, triple-butted 2014-T6 aluminum, these bars strike the perfect balance between strength and comfort. Each one is shot-peened and hard anodized for durability, with lightly knurled ends for secure grip adhesion that still works perfectly with ODI Lock-On Grips. Tested by top SX and MX pros, the CFT Podium is a real race bar built for serious riders who want performance they can feel — not just read about.

Why We Like It:
You feel the difference right away. The CFT system takes the edge off braking bumps and big hits, but still gives you that solid, connected feel when you’re pushing. They look clean, ride even cleaner, and hold up through everything from deep ruts to flat landings.

Why It’ll Work for You:
If arm pump and vibration are slowing you down, this bar’s built-in flex will change your ride. It smooths out rough tracks, keeps your upper body relaxed, and gives you the strength and control of an oversized 1-1/8” setup. They’re easy to install with the right mounts, built tough, and tuned for riders who want comfort without sacrificing precision.
