History Friday #1

Sean Butler was probably one of the best known & best dirt riders. Sean joined KHE in 2005/2006 and many different products from saddles, handlebars, forks to complete bikes were sold under his signature name. What but with the biggest change in the BMX handlebar history was the butted handlebars what there was not yet from another company.
A normal handlebar has weighed about 1kg and our newly developed KHE BUTLER handlebars came with this new technology just to 614g!
Our new way to produce handlebars has prevailed until today at all major manufacturers.

Sean Butler's "Method" signature handlebar. This is the first "butted" handlebar in the world: the tubes had different wall thicknesses, weak point were strengthened and in places that do not have to withstand large loads, less material can use. Meanwhile, butted BMX handlebars are standard in the high-end range, which is not surprising. They are more stable and some lighter than handlebars that do not use butted tubes.
