The Crazy Bar has been in Velo Orange’s lineup for eight years now and has received numerous updates along the way. This iteration features the most significant changes yet and has been developed following community feedback and extensive in-house testing.

The Crazy Bar has grown in width from 666mm to 780mm. This will appeal to the mountain bike-y end of the bikepacking spectrum, where the additional control and comfort a wider bar can offer is well-documented. If you prefer a narrower bar, it is, of course, possible to cut it down.
